Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR6X60SR
The AirTAC Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR6X60SR 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, 60mm stroke; the return spring resets the rod when air is released.

About the Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR6X60SR
The AirTAC PSBR6X60SR 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. This fail-safe design ensures the rod pulls home on air loss, needing just one solenoid line. It supplies 10.6 N of net push at 0.5 MPa and 16.3 N at 0.7 MPa.
The direct M3x0.5 front-cover thread bolts straight to your fixture, saving space in tight jigs. A built-in magnet enables position sensing with reed or electronic switches. The SUS316L stainless barrel suits damp environments, and a fixed TPU bumper cushions the stroke ends. Plan for a safe working load of roughly 6 N, which lifts about 0.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.
Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR6X60SR Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR6X60SR |
|---|---|
| Series | PSBR JIS pen-size front-mount cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø6 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø3 mm |
| Stroke | 60 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 PSBR6X60SR Is Used
Panel Pusher
Extends to nudge lightweight panels into a test socket. The spring safely pulls back if air drops.
Part Ejector
Pushes small parts off a belt line. The axial R inlet keeps the footprint minimal on the line.
Clamp Release
Retracts a small holding pin on command. The M3x0.5 front mount threads directly into the jig.
Is the Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR6X60SR the Right Cylinder?
This 6 mm bore provides 10.6 N net push at 0.5 MPa. Stepping up to the 8 mm bore yields 18.7 N, while this is the smallest available size. The internal spring requires a minimum 0.3 MPa to move the rod. The direct M3x0.5 front mount eliminates extra brackets, and the axial R inlet keeps plumbing in-line.
At the maximum 60 mm stroke for this bore, the slender 3 mm rod requires an external guide or linear bearing to prevent side-load damage. Confirm your fixture matches the M3x0.5 thread and M5x0.8 air port. The fixed TPU bumper only decelerates the last few millimeters, so meter-out the exhaust if moving real tooling mass at higher speeds.
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 PSBR6X60SR FAQ
It delivers 10.6 N net push at 0.5 MPa and 16.3 N at 0.7 MPa. The return spring sets a 0.3 MPa minimum pressure before the rod moves, and the cylinder fails safely retracted on air loss.
It mounts directly via the M3x0.5 front-cover thread. The SUS316L stainless barrel resists corrosion, and the built-in magnet works with reed or electronic switches for position feedback.
