Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR16X60SR
The AirTAC Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR16X60SR is a single acting, push type (spring return) pen-size mini cylinder with direct front-cover mounting (M5×0.8 thread). A single air port drives the push stroke on a Ø16mm bore, 60mm stroke; the return spring resets the rod when air is released.

About the Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR16X60SR
The AirTAC PSBR16X60SR is a single-acting push pen cylinder that extends via air pressure and retracts via an internal spring. It supplies 74.8 N of net push at 0.5 MPa, reaching 115 N at the 0.7 MPa maximum. A built-in piston magnet enables position sensing with reed or electronic switches.
This slim SUS316L stainless body bolts directly to your fixture via the front-cover M5x0.8 thread. The R axial inlet keeps plumbing in-line, while the fixed TPU bumper decelerates the rod near stroke ends. For smooth operation, plan for a safe working load of about 45 N, which accounts for seal friction.
Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR16X60SR Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR16X60SR |
|---|---|
| Series | PSBR JIS pen-size front-mount cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø16 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø5 mm |
| Stroke | 60 mm |
| Acting type | Single acting, push type (spring return) |
| Front-mount thread | M5×0.8 |
| Port size | M5×0.8 |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.2 – 0.7 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.2 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 50 – 800 mm/s |
| Return | Return spring (push by air) |
| Max standard stroke | Up to 100 mm |
The spring holds the rod retracted; applying air pushes the rod out, and removing air lets the spring return it. Front cover carries the mounting thread (M5×0.8); barrel is SUS316L. Forces below are NET spring-deducted values. Confirm against the product label.
Net Push Force (Ø16mm)
| Pressure | Net push force |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 74.8 N |
| 0.7 MPa (max) | 115.0 N |
These are usable push forces after the return spring is subtracted, from the AirTAC single-acting thrust table. Minimum operating pressure is set by the spring, so this model needs at least the lower pressure shown to move.

Where the Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR16X60SR Is Used
Part Ejection
Pushes finished parts out of a machining zone with reliable spring-return retraction.
Panel Pusher
Extends to position light panels on an assembly line, freeing space via direct front mounting.
Clamp Release
Overcomes spring tension to open clamps, defaulting to a secure closed state on air loss.
Is the Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR16X60SR the Right Cylinder?
This 16mm bore provides 74.8 N net push at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, the 12mm bore offers 42.9 N; stepping up is not required as this is the largest standard size. The internal spring ensures the rod retracts safely on air loss, requiring only one solenoid line.
Confirm the direct M5x0.8 front-mount thread matches your bolt engagement. The integrated magnet supports solid-state or reed switches. Because the rod is a slender 5mm, add an external guide for off-axis loads over this 60mm stroke.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Net push force at your working pressure
- ✓ Bolt directly through the front cover (M5×0.8)
- ✓ Only one air line / solenoid needed
- ✓ Fail-safe retract on air loss
- ✓ Magnet (S) for sensors?
- ✓ Stroke ≤ 100 mm (single-acting limit)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.2 – 0.7 MPa operating pressure.
- check Allow for spring force in the stroke direction.
- check Match bolt size and engagement to the front thread.
- check Do not add an external return mechanism.
- check Keep the load coaxial; avoid side load on the thin rod.
Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR16X60SR FAQ
The net push force is 74.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 115 N at the 0.7 MPa maximum. The internal return spring sets a 0.2 MPa minimum pressure before the rod moves, and the cylinder fails safely retracted on air loss.
The SUS316L stainless barrel features a direct M5x0.8 front-cover mounting thread for bolting straight to a jig. The R axial inlet accepts in-line plumbing, and the -S suffix denotes a built-in magnet for reed or electronic switches.
