Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR16X60SU
The AirTAC Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR16X60SU 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 PSBR16X60SU
The AirTAC PSBR16X60SU is a JIS pen-size single-acting push cylinder with a 60 mm stroke. Air entering the M5x0.8 port extends the rod, while an internal spring retracts it on air release. This fail-safe design ensures the rod returns home if pressure drops. It supplies 74.8 N of net push at 0.5 MPa and 115 N at the 0.7 MPa maximum.
The SUS316L stainless barrel and slim mini body fit tight jigs and light end-of-arm tooling. You bolt it directly via the front-cover M5x0.8 thread, saving space. A fixed TPU bumper cushions the stroke ends. For real work, plan for a safe working load of about 45 N, which is roughly 60 percent of the 0.5 MPa rating.

|---|---|
| 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 PSBR16X60SU Is Used
Part Ejector
Uses the spring-return push to eject machined parts from a fixture, guaranteeing the arm retracts clear on air loss.
Panel Pusher
Bolts directly via the front M5x0.8 thread to press lightweight panels into locators within a compact assembly cell.
Clamp Release
Extends to unseat a holding clamp on a conveyor line, with the 90-degree side inlet keeping hose routing flat.
Is the Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR16X60SU the Right Cylinder?
This 16 mm bore provides 74.8 N net push at 0.5 MPa. Stepping down to a 12 mm bore drops the usable push to 42.9 N, while stepping up is unavailable as 16 mm is the largest in the series. The internal spring sets a 0.2 MPa minimum pressure before motion begins.
The direct front-cover M5x0.8 thread mounts straight to your fixture without extra brackets. The U suffix indicates a 90-degree side inlet for flat plumbing. The S suffix adds a built-in magnet for reed or electronic switches. With a 60 mm stroke, the Ø5 mm piston rod needs an external guide or linear bearing to prevent side load and buckling.
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 PSBR16X60SU FAQ
It delivers 74.8 N of net push at 0.5 MPa and 115 N at the 0.7 MPa maximum. Because it is single-acting push with a return spring, it requires a minimum of 0.2 MPa to overcome the spring and extend the rod.
It mounts directly via a front-cover M5x0.8 thread, eliminating separate brackets. The barrel is made of SUS316L stainless steel for durability in damp environments, and the S suffix means it accepts reed or electronic switches.
