Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X100SCB
The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X100SCB 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 PB10X100SCB
The AirTAC PB10X100SCB is a double-acting JIS pen-size mini cylinder engineered for compact automation. It supplies 39.3 N of push force and 33 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a 4 mm stainless steel piston rod with an M8x1.0 rod-end thread. The slim SUS304 round barrel saves valuable space and payload on light end-of-arm tooling, while the M5x0.8 port ensures efficient pneumatic flow for its 50-800 mm/s speed range.
This specific configuration includes a built-in piston magnet (S) for position sensing with AirTAC reed or electronic switches, and a CB double clevis back cover for pivoting loads. It relies on a fixed TPU bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke. Because the 4 mm rod is designed strictly for coaxial thrust, adding an external guide is recommended over this 100 mm stroke to prevent side-load damage.

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 PB10X100SCB Is Used
PCB Depaneling Router
Actuates a light cutting head fixture along a 100 mm path, utilizing the CB double clevis to accommodate minor pivot during the linear routing of circuit boards.
Package Sorting Diverter
Pushes small lightweight parcels off a main belt, where the 39.3 N push force at 0.5 MPa is sufficient to deflect light cardboard boxes at high frequency.
Lab Sample Dispenser
Drives a pipette mechanism with a smooth 100 mm travel, relying on the built-in S magnet to trigger an electronic switch for precise fluid dosing.
Is the Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X100SCB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 10 mm bore unit, consider stepping down to the 6 mm bore (14.2 N push @0.5 MPa) for lighter gripping, or up to the 12 mm bore (56.5 N push @0.5 MPa) if you need more thrust. For the PB10X100SCB, plan for a safe working load of about 24 N (roughly 60% of the 0.5 MPa theoretical force) to account for seal friction, which equates to lifting about 2 kg vertically with a sane 2:1 margin. Confirm your ordering essentials: 10 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, S magnet, and CB double clevis.
Note that a plain PB-type body does not hold its load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centred; the piston will drift. If your application requires fail-safe position holding, you must incorporate an external stop or a dedicated rod lock.
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 PB10X100SCB 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 of 50-800 mm/s.
It uses a fixed TPU bumper at each end that decelerates the piston over the last few millimeters; it is not adjustable and not a locking brake. If moving real tooling mass at high speed, meter-out the exhaust or add an external shock absorber. The cylinder will not hold its load on air loss, so an external rod lock is required for fail-safe holding.
