Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR6X50SR
The AirTAC Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR6X50SR 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, 50mm stroke; the return spring resets the rod when air is released.

About the Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR6X50SR
The AirTAC PSBR6X50SR is a single-acting push pen cylinder with a 50 mm stroke. Air entering the M5x0.8 port extends the rod, while an internal spring retracts it. This fail-safe design ensures the rod returns home on air loss. It delivers about 10.6 N net push at 0.5 MPa.
The direct M3x0.5 front-cover mounting thread bolts straight to your fixture, saving space in tight jigs. The SUS316L stainless barrel suits damp environments. A fixed TPU bumper cushions the stroke ends. The built-in magnet works with reed or electronic switches.

|---|---|
| Series | PSBR JIS pen-size front-mount cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø6 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø3 mm |
| Stroke | 50 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 PSBR6X50SR Is Used
Small Part Ejector
Uses the fail-safe retract to push light electronic components out of a machining fixture, ensuring the rod clears when air pressure drops.
Panel Pusher
Bolts directly via the M3x0.5 front thread to push a thin sensor panel into a test slot, saving space in compact testing arrays.
Lab Valve Actuator
Employs the SUS316L barrel and slim body to actuate a low-force fluidic valve in damp laboratory enclosures without adding bulk.
Is the Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR6X50SR the Right Cylinder?
This 6 mm bore provides 10.6 N net push at 0.5 MPa and 16.3 N at 0.7 MPa. Sizing both ways: a smaller bore is unavailable, while stepping up to an 8 mm bore yields 18.7 N at 0.5 MPa.
The return spring sets a 0.3 MPa minimum pressure before motion. The Ø3 mm rod is for coaxial thrust; over this 50 mm stroke, add an external guide to prevent side load. Confirm the M3x0.5 front-mount thread and R axial inlet for your plumbing.
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 PSBR6X50SR FAQ
It provides 10.6 N net push at 0.5 MPa and 16.3 N at 0.7 MPa. Because it is spring-return, a minimum pressure of 0.3 MPa is required before the rod moves, and it fails safely retracted on air loss.
It mounts directly via a front-cover M3x0.5 thread. The included -S magnet is compatible with AirTAC reed or electronic switches for position sensing.
