Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR6X15R
The AirTAC Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR6X15R 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, 15mm stroke; the return spring resets the rod when air is released.

About the Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR6X15R
The AirTAC PSBR6X15R is a JIS pen-size single-acting push cylinder with a 6 mm bore and 15 mm stroke. Air entering the M5x0.8 port extends the rod, while an internal spring ensures fail-safe retraction upon air loss. It supplies 10.6 N of net push at 0.5 MPa, making it ideal for compact jigs requiring one solenoid line.
This mini cylinder mounts directly via its front-cover M3x0.5 thread, eliminating extra brackets in tight spaces. The SUS316L stainless barrel suits damp environments, and a fixed TPU bumper cushions the stroke ends.

|---|---|
| Series | PSBR JIS pen-size front-mount cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø6 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø3 mm |
| Stroke | 15 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 PSBR6X15R Is Used
Panel Pusher
Uses the 10.6 N push stroke to nudge lightweight electronic panels into a testing fixture.
Part Ejector
Extends 15 mm to knock small molded parts off a conveyor line, retracting safely on air loss.
Clamp Release
Fits into tight machining jigs via the M3x0.5 front thread to push open a spring-loaded clamp.
Is the Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR6X15R the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 6 mm bore when you need minimal size and 10.6 N net push at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less force, note that 6 mm is the smallest available option in this series. If you need more power, stepping up to the 8 mm bore yields 18.7 N at 0.5 MPa. Always verify your fixture matches the M3x0.5 direct front-mount thread and the R axial inlet.
The internal return spring sets a 0.3 MPa minimum pressure before motion begins. Because the rod is a slender 3 mm, use an external guide for any off-axis loads. Confirm your stroke needs 15 mm or less, as this bore maxes out at 60 mm.
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 PSBR6X15R FAQ
The net push force is 10.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 16.3 N at the 0.7 MPa maximum. The internal return spring requires a minimum of 0.3 MPa to extend the rod.
It mounts directly via a front-cover M3x0.5 thread, separate from the M5x0.8 air port. The barrel is made of SUS316L stainless steel for corrosion resistance.
