Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X100CB
The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X100CB is a double-acting pen-size (mini) air cylinder with a Ø10mm bore and 100mm 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 PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X100CB
The AirTAC PB10X100CB is a JIS pen-size double-acting mini cylinder engineered for compact automation. It provides 39.3 N of push force and 33 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, driven through an M5x0.8 air port. The SUS304 stainless round barrel and 4 mm piston rod resist damp or mildly corrosive environments while keeping the envelope slim for tight jig clearances.
This 100 mm stroke variant uses a fixed TPU bumper at each end to absorb end-of-stroke impact rather than an adjustable air cushion. Because the CB suffix specifies a double clevis back cover, the rear housing pivots, accommodating angular movement during the extend and retract cycles. The rod end features an M8x1.0 thread for secure load coupling.

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 PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X100CB Is Used
PCB Depaneling Router
Pivots a cutting tool guide on the CB clevis to separate routed circuit panels, utilizing the 100 mm travel and 39.3 N push to maintain steady positioning.
Carton Flap Folder
Folds minor corrugated box flaps prior to sealing, where the compact stainless body resists dust and the double clevis accommodates the folding arm arc.
Sorting Diverter Arm
Pushes lightweight parcels off a belt line; the 2 kg vertical lift capacity and fast 50-800 mm/s speed ensure timely diversion without bulky hardware.
Is the Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X100CB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this unit, plan for a safe working load of roughly 24 N, which accounts for seal friction by loading the cylinder to about 60% of its 0.5 MPa theoretical push. If your vertical lift application needs a 2:1 safety margin, this actuator can raise approximately 2 kg against gravity. Stepping down, the Ø6 bore offers 14.2 N push at 0.5 MPa for lighter tasks, while stepping up to the Ø12 bore yields 56.5 N for heavier payloads.
With a 100 mm stroke, the slender 4 mm rod requires coaxial thrust; avoid side loading or add an external linear bearing to prevent binding. Note that a standard PB body drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve centers, so install an external rod lock if you need fail-safe position holding. To order, confirm the 10 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, M5x0.8 porting, the CB double clevis, and no sensor magnet.
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 PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X100CB FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 39.3 N and the pull force is 33 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, the push force is 55 N and the pull force is 46.2 N. The operating pressure range is 0.15-0.7 MPa, with a speed range of 50-800 mm/s.
The CB suffix denotes a double clevis back cover that allows the cylinder body to pivot during operation, ideal for articulated mechanisms. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed TPU bumper at each end, which is not adjustable; for high-speed or heavy tooling mass, meter-out the exhaust or add an external shock absorber.
