Airtac B52-PB Copper-Free Pen-Type Cylinder B52-PB10X45SULB
The AirTAC Airtac B52-PB Copper-Free Pen-Type Cylinder B52-PB10X45SULB is a double-acting pen-size (mini) air cylinder with a Ø10mm bore and 45mm stroke. Its slim round barrel and back cover are stainless steel, the M5×0.8 ports keep plumbing compact, and the fast, low-friction piston suits high-cycle small-part handling.

About the Airtac B52-PB Copper-Free Pen-Type Cylinder B52-PB10X45SULB
The B52-PB10X45SULB is a double-acting JIS pen-size mini cylinder with a 10mm bore delivering 39.3N push and 33N pull at 0.5MPa. The leading B52- prefix marks AirTAC's copper-free (copper-prohibited) build, designed for lines where copper alloys are not permitted, such as ammonia systems or certain battery and chemical plants. This version shares all standard PB10X45SULB dimensions and performance figures.
Its slim SUS304 stainless barrel and piston rod suit damp or mildly corrosive environments while keeping the assembly light for tight jigs and end-of-arm tooling. The M5x0.8 port and M8x1.0 rod-end thread are fixed by the 10mm bore. Fixed TPU bumpers at both ends decelerate the last few millimeters of travel, though they are not adjustable and do not act as a brake.

|---|---|
| Series | PB JIS pen-size mini cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø10 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø4 mm |
| Stroke | 45 mm |
| Acting type | Double acting |
| Port size | M5×0.8 |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.15 – 0.7 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.2 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 50 – 800 mm/s |
| Cushion | Elastic bumper (both ends) |
| Max standard stroke | Up to 200 mm |
Specifications follow the official AirTAC PB pen-size datasheet. Piston rod and barrel are stainless steel. Confirm bore, stroke and back-cover option against the product label before installation.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø10mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 39.3 N | 33.0 N |
| 0.7 MPa (max) | 55.0 N | 46.2 N |
Values are taken from the AirTAC PB thrust table. Because pull acts on the rod-side annular area, pull force is always lower than push. Actual usable force is reduced by friction — size with a margin.

Where the Airtac B52-PB Copper-Free Pen-Type Cylinder B52-PB10X45SULB Is Used
PCB Handling Grippers
Push 39.3N at 0.5MPa moves lightweight PCB panels in and out of test fixtures. The copper-free build prevents contamination in electronics assembly areas where copper is restricted.
Ammonia Line Valve Actuation
The copper-free construction suits small valve actuators in ammonia refrigeration systems. The stainless barrel resists moisture while the 45mm stroke provides precise positioning for flow control.
Pharmaceutical Blister Ejection
Ejects blister packs from forming dies at up to 800mm/s. The 33N pull force retracts the rod quickly between cycles, while the fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact without contaminating cleanroom air.
Is the Airtac B52-PB Copper-Free Pen-Type Cylinder B52-PB10X45SULB the Right Cylinder?
For a 10mm bore with 45mm stroke, the B52-PB10X45SULB produces 39.3N push at 0.5MPa. If you need less force, step down to the 6mm bore which pushes 14.2N at 0.5MPa; for more capacity, the 12mm bore delivers 56.5N push at the same pressure. The U back cover provides a 90-degree side air inlet for flat plumbing, and the LB bracket handles front mounting. The -S magnet enables position sensing with AirTAC reed or electronic switches.
A plain PB-type cylinder does not hold its load when air pressure is lost or the valve centers - the piston drifts freely. For fail-safe holding, add an external stop or rod lock. The thin 4mm rod is designed for coaxial thrust; over long strokes or with off-axis loads, use an external guide or linear bearing to prevent side loading.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Slim pen body vs. a standard round cylinder
- ✓ Back cover: CB / U / R inlet direction
- ✓ Magnet (S) for sensors?
- ✓ Mounting: LB / FA / CJ or front thread
- ✓ Keep the load coaxial — avoid side load
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 0.7 MPa operating pressure.
- check Keep the load coaxial; avoid side load on the thin rod.
- check Do not dismantle the front or back cover.
- check Fit dust caps to ports during long-term storage.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac B52-PB Copper-Free Pen-Type Cylinder B52-PB10X45SULB FAQ
At 0.5MPa, push force is 39.3N and pull force is 33N. At the maximum 0.7MPa operating pressure, push increases to 55N and pull to 46.2N. The maximum operating pressure is 0.7MPa - never exceed this.
B52- indicates AirTAC's copper-free (copper-prohibited) build of the PB10X45SULB, for lines where copper and copper alloys are not permitted. The exact material substitutions are not listed in our standard data - please confirm the specific replacement grades with us before ordering. The base model uses SUS304 stainless steel for the barrel and piston rod, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end.
