The AirTAC Airtac PSBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PSBR8X25SU 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, 25mm stroke; the return spring resets the rod when air is released.
The AirTAC PSBR8X25SU is a single-acting push pen cylinder that extends when air enters its M5x0.8 port, relying on an internal spring to retract the rod automatically. It supplies 18.7 N of net push at 0.5 MPa and 28.7 N at 0.7 MPa. The return spring guarantees fail-safe retraction on air loss, keeping tooling safely pulled back.
This compact actuator features a slim SUS316L stainless barrel and mounts directly via its front-cover M4x0.7 thread, eliminating extra brackets. A fixed TPU bumper cushions the stroke ends. The built-in -S magnet supports reed or electronic switches, and the U suffix provides a 90-degree side inlet for flat plumbing.

|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.2 – 0.7 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.2 MPa |

| 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.
| 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.

| 8 | Bore size in mm. |

| S | Built-in magnet for magnetic-switch position sensing (omit = no magnet). |

Mounting: direct front-cover thread (M4×0.7). Related PBR-family variants: PBR (double acting), PTBR (single-acting pull).
Pushes lightweight machined components off a conveyor line with 18.7 N of force, retracting safely when air pressure drops.
Extends to index thin electronic panels into a test fixture using the direct front-cover thread for tight spacing.
Overcomes a holding mechanism to release a clamped part, relying on the spring to withdraw the 4 mm rod on signal loss.
This 8 mm bore yields 18.7 N net push at 0.5 MPa. Stepping down to a 6 mm bore drops the output to 10.6 N, while moving up to a 10 mm bore raises it to 29.8 N.
The direct front-cover thread secures the body without extra hardware, and the spring ensures fail-safe retraction. Remember the thin 4 mm rod handles coaxial thrust only; add an external guide for off-axis loads. Confirm the M4x0.7 front-mount thread and the U side-inlet configuration when ordering.
Quick checklist
It delivers 18.7 N of net push at 0.5 MPa and 28.7 N at 0.7 MPa. Because it is single-acting push, the internal return spring sets a 0.2 MPa minimum pressure before the rod moves, and the cylinder fails safely retracted on air loss.
It mounts directly via an M4x0.7 front-cover thread, saving space without extra brackets. The SUS316L stainless barrel resists damp environments, and the built-in magnet works with reed or electronic switches for position detection.
