Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X100SR
The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X100SR 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 PB10X100SR
The AirTAC PB10X100SR is a double-acting JIS pen-size mini cylinder engineered for compact, high-frequency small-part motion. It features a slim SUS304 stainless steel round barrel and piston rod, providing excellent durability in damp or mildly corrosive environments without adding unnecessary bulk to your end-of-arm tooling. At 0.5 MPa, it generates 39.3 N of push force and 33 N of pull force.
This specific configuration includes a built-in piston magnet (S) for position sensing and an R axial air inlet for straightforward in-line plumbing. The bore dictates an M5x0.8 port and an M8x1.0 rod-end thread. Because it uses a fixed TPU bumper at each end rather than an adjustable air cushion, you should meter-out the exhaust or add an external shock absorber when cycling high tooling masses at rapid speeds.

| Rod diameter | Ø4 mm |
| Stroke | 100 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 |

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 PB10X100SR Is Used
PCB Depaneling Ejector
Pushes separated circuit boards off a routing fixture with precise 100 mm travel, relying on the 39.3 N output to clear the tooling zone without stressing delicate traces.
Carton Flap Tucking
Tucks minor flaps on small pharmaceutical cartons moving through a continuous packaging line, where the slim 10 mm barrel fits neatly between conveyor guide rails.
Pick-and-Place Head
Acts as a lightweight vertical Z-axis stroker for a vacuum gripper, moving components between inspection stations while keeping end-of-arm payload minimal.
Is the Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X100SR the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, plan for a safe working load of roughly 24 N (about 60% of the 39.3 N theoretical push at 0.5 MPa) to account for seal friction and smooth travel. In vertical lift applications, this translates to lifting about 2 kg safely with a 2:1 margin. If you need less force, stepping down to the Ø6 bore yields 14.2 N push at 0.5 MPa; stepping up to the Ø12 bore provides 56.5 N. Note that a plain double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered, so an external rod lock is required for fail-safe holding. Confirm your ordering essentials: 10 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, S magnet, and R axial inlet.
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 PB10X100SR FAQ
This double-acting cylinder delivers 39.3 N push and 33 N pull at 0.5 MPa. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, it yields 55 N push and 46.2 N pull. It operates between 0.15-0.7 MPa at speeds of 50-800 mm/s.
No, the piston will drift if air is lost or the valve is centered. The fixed TPU bumper only decelerates the rod near the stroke end; it does not act as a brake. You must add an external rod lock or mechanical stop to hold a load safely.
