Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR6X10R
The AirTAC Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR6X10R is a single acting, push type (spring return) pen-size mini cylinder with direct front-cover mounting (M3×0.5 thread). A single air port drives the push stroke on a Ø6mm bore, 10mm stroke; the return spring resets the rod when air is released.

About the Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR6X10R
The AirTAC PSBR6X10R is a JIS pen-size single-acting push cylinder that supplies 10.6 N of net push at 0.5 MPa via a spring-return design. Air entering the M5x0.8 port extends the rod, while an internal spring retracts it automatically. This fail-safe mechanism ensures the rod returns home if air pressure drops. A fixed TPU bumper cushions the stroke ends.
You bolt this slim mini body straight to a fixture using the direct M3x0.5 front-cover mounting thread, saving space in compact assemblies. The SUS316L stainless barrel suits damp environments, and the R axial inlet keeps plumbing perfectly in-line. Plan for a safe working load of roughly 6 N, which accounts for seal friction at about 60 percent of the rated force.
Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR6X10R Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR6X10R |
|---|---|
| Series | PSBR JIS pen-size front-mount cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø6 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø3 mm |
| Stroke | 10 mm |
| Acting type | Single acting, push type (spring return) |
| Front-mount thread | M3×0.5 |
| Port size | M5×0.8 |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.3 – 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 60 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 (M3×0.5); barrel is SUS316L. Forces below are NET spring-deducted values. Confirm against the product label.
Net Push Force (Ø6mm)
| Pressure | Net push force |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 10.6 N |
| 0.7 MPa (max) | 16.3 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 PSBR6X10R Is Used
Panel Pusher
Uses the M3x0.5 front-mount thread to bolt directly onto a tight jig, pushing thin panels forward with 10.6 N of net force before spring retracting.
Part Eject
Ejects small molded parts off a conveyor line; the fail-safe retract ensures the rod clears the path on air loss to prevent jams.
Clamp Release
Fits into narrow end-of-arm tooling to push a lightweight clamp open, lifting about 0.5 kg vertically with a safe 2:1 margin.
Is the Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR6X10R the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 6 mm bore model, consider the next size up to ensure adequate thrust. The PSBR8 provides 18.7 N of net push at 0.5 MPa, offering a higher force ceiling if your jig approaches the 6 N safe working load. Because 6 mm is the smallest available bore, stepping down is not an option. The internal return spring sets a minimum operating pressure of 0.3 MPa before the rod will move. Confirm your ordering essentials: this configuration includes an R axial back cover inlet and no sensor magnet.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Net push force at your working pressure
- ✓ Bolt directly through the front cover (M3×0.5)
- ✓ Only one air line / solenoid needed
- ✓ Fail-safe retract on air loss
- ✓ Magnet (S) for sensors?
- ✓ Stroke ≤ 60 mm (single-acting limit)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.3 – 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 PSBR6X10R FAQ
This single-acting push cylinder provides 10.6 N of net usable push at 0.5 MPa and 16.3 N at the 0.7 MPa maximum. The internal return spring requires a minimum pressure of 0.3 MPa to overcome the spring and extend the rod.
The front cover features a direct M3x0.5 mounting thread for bolting straight to a fixture, while the M5x0.8 port handles air inlet. The SUS316L stainless barrel provides corrosion resistance in compact, damp environments.
