Airtac PTBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PTBR10X10SR
The AirTAC Airtac PTBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PTBR10X10SR is a single acting, pull type (spring extend) pen-size mini cylinder with direct front-cover mounting (M4×0.7 thread). A single air port drives the pull stroke on a Ø10mm bore, 10mm stroke; the return spring resets the rod when air is released.

About the Airtac PTBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PTBR10X10SR
The AirTAC PTBR10X10SR is a JIS pen-size single-acting pull cylinder. Air entering the M5x0.8 port retracts the rod, while an internal spring pushes it back out. This provides a fail-safe extended state during air loss, ideal for holding parts in place. You get 23.5 N of net pull at 0.5 MPa.
It bolts directly to a fixture via the front-cover M4x0.7 thread, saving space in tight jigs. The SUS316L stainless barrel resists corrosion, and the built-in magnet (-S) supports reed or electronic switches. A fixed TPU bumper cushions the stroke ends. Because pulling acts on the rod-side area, this output is lower than a matching push cylinder.

|---|---|
| Series | PTBR JIS pen-size front-mount cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø10 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø4 mm |
| Stroke | 10 mm |
| Acting type | Single acting, pull type (spring extend) |
| 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 (pull by air) |
| Max standard stroke | Up to 60 mm |
The spring holds the rod extended; applying air retracts it, and removing air lets the spring push the rod back out. 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 Pull Force (Ø10mm)
| Pressure | Net pull force |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 23.5 N |
| 0.7 MPa (max) | 36.7 N |
These are usable pull 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 PTBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PTBR10X10SR Is Used
Fail-Safe Hold-Down Clamp
Keeps a workpiece clamped during an air pressure drop. The spring holds the rod extended securely, releasing only when air retracts it.
Tension Return Mechanism
Maintains constant tension on a belt or filament. Air pulls back to slacken the line, and the spring automatically extends to retension.
Retract-to-Open Gate
Holds a lightweight access gate closed by default. Applying air retracts the rod to allow entry, ensuring the gate closes automatically.
Is the Airtac PTBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PTBR10X10SR the Right Cylinder?
This 10 mm bore provides 23.5 N net pull at 0.5 MPa and 36.7 N at 0.7 MPa. If you need less force, the 8 mm bore offers 12.4 N at 0.5 MPa. For heavier loads, the 12 mm bore yields 33.1 N.
The spring requires a minimum 0.2 MPa pressure to move. The direct front mount eliminates brackets, but ensure your bolt matches the M4x0.7 thread. The thin 4 mm rod handles coaxial thrust only; add an external guide for off-axis loads. Confirm if you need the -S magnet and R axial inlet for your plumbing.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Net pull force at your working pressure
- ✓ Bolt directly through the front cover (M4×0.7)
- ✓ Only one air line / solenoid needed
- ✓ Fail-safe extend 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 PTBR Single Acting Square Head Compact Cylinder PTBR10X10SR FAQ
The net pull force is 23.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 36.7 N at 0.7 MPa (maximum pressure). Because it is spring-extended, it requires a minimum 0.2 MPa to overcome the spring and move the rod.
It mounts directly via an M4x0.7 thread on the front cover, eliminating separate brackets. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet compatible with reed or electronic switches for position sensing.
