Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR16X60U
The AirTAC Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR16X60U 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 PSBR16X60U
The AirTAC PSBR16X60U is a single-acting push pen cylinder that extends via air pressure and retracts via an internal spring, ensuring a fail-safe home position on air loss. It supplies 74.8N of net push at 0.5 MPa and 115N at the 0.7 MPa maximum. The SUS316L stainless barrel provides corrosion resistance for damp environments.
This 16mm bore, 60mm stroke unit mounts directly via its front-cover M5x0.8 thread, eliminating separate brackets to save space. The integrated U-style 90-degree side inlet keeps plumbing flat against your fixture. A fixed TPU bumper cushions the stroke ends, and the M5x0.8 air port drives the extension.

| 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 PSBR16X60U Is Used
Part Ejection
Uses the 74.8N push stroke to eject machined components from a fixture, with the spring ensuring hands-free retraction.
Panel Pusher
Advances a light guard panel into position during assembly, relying on the fail-safe retract to clear the workspace.
Clamp Release
Overcomes spring tension to open a holding clamp, automatically snapping shut if the air supply drops.
Is the Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR16X60U the Right Cylinder?
This 16mm bore yields 74.8N net push at 0.5 MPa. Stepping down to a 12mm bore provides 42.9N, while this model offers greater force for heavier tooling.
The spring sets a 0.2 MPa minimum pressure before the rod moves. The direct M5x0.8 front-cover thread bolts straight to your jig, and the thin Ø5mm rod requires an external guide for off-axis loads over this 60mm stroke. Confirm the U side-inlet and no-magnet configuration for your build.
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 PSBR16X60U FAQ
It delivers 74.8N net push at 0.5 MPa and 115N at the 0.7 MPa maximum. Because it is spring-return, a minimum 0.2 MPa is required to overcome the spring and extend the rod.
It mounts directly via the front-cover M5x0.8 thread. The slim body features a SUS316L stainless barrel for corrosion resistance, and the U back cover provides a 90-degree side air inlet.
