Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR8X10SR
The AirTAC Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR8X10SR is a single acting, push type (spring return) pen-size mini cylinder with direct front-cover mounting (M4×0.7 thread). A single air port drives the push stroke on a Ø8mm bore, 10mm stroke; the return spring resets the rod when air is released.

About the Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR8X10SR
The AirTAC PSBR8X10SR is a single-acting push-type pen cylinder that extends via one M5x0.8 air port and retracts safely via an internal spring. It supplies 18.7 N of net push at 0.5 MPa, rising to 28.7 N at the 0.7 MPa maximum. The direct M4x0.7 front-cover thread bolts straight to your fixture, saving space.
A built-in magnet enables position sensing with reed or electronic switches. The SUS316L stainless barrel shrinks the footprint for tight jigs, while a fixed TPU bumper decelerates the rod near stroke ends. Plan for about 11 N of real work using a 60% safety margin, which safely lifts roughly 1 kg vertically with a 2:1 ratio.

| Rod diameter | Ø4 mm |
| Stroke | 10 mm |
| Acting type | Single acting, push type (spring return) |
| Front-mount thread | M4×0.7 |
| 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 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 (M4×0.7); barrel is SUS316L. Forces below are NET spring-deducted values. Confirm against the product label.
Net Push Force (Ø8mm)
| Pressure | Net push force |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 18.7 N |
| 0.7 MPa (max) | 28.7 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 PSBR8X10SR Is Used
Panel Pusher
Uses the direct front-mount thread to push light panels out of a machining cell, relying on the spring to retract the rod when air stops.
Part Ejector
Deploys the 10 mm stroke to flick small plastic parts off a belt, with the fail-safe retract preventing jams during an air pressure drop.
Clamp Release
Frees a clamped component in a tight jig using the slim SUS316L body, returning to a locked home position via the internal spring.
Is the Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR8X10SR the Right Cylinder?
For low-force ejection, the Ø8 bore yields 18.7 N net push at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, the Ø6 bore provides 10.6 N; scaling up to the Ø10 bore gives 29.8 N. This PSBR8X10SR uses a 10 mm stroke within the 60 mm limit for this bore.
The spring ensures fail-safe retraction upon air loss, requiring only one solenoid line. The axial R back cover allows in-line plumbing. Confirm your M4x0.7 front-mount thread engagement and add an external guide for off-axis loads, as the Ø4 mm rod is built for coaxial thrust.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Net push force at your working pressure
- ✓ Bolt directly through the front cover (M4×0.7)
- ✓ 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 0.2 – 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 PSBR8X10SR FAQ
It delivers 18.7 N net push at 0.5 MPa and 28.7 N at 0.7 MPa. Because a return spring is built in, a minimum pressure of 0.2 MPa is required before the rod extends, and the cylinder fails safely retracted on air loss.
It mounts directly via an M4x0.7 front-cover thread, eliminating extra brackets. The included -S magnet works with reed or electronic switches, and the SUS316L barrel resists moisture in compact spaces.
