Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X100SRLB
The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X100SRLB 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 PB10X100SRLB
The AirTAC PB10X100SRLB 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. Delivering 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it uses a 4 mm rod with an M8x1.0 rod-end thread for secure load coupling.
This specific configuration includes an R axial air inlet for in-line plumbing and an LB mounting bracket for secure body attachment. The integrated -S piston magnet supports AirTAC reed or electronic switches for position sensing. Operating at speeds from 50-800 mm/s, it relies on a fixed TPU bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke. Because the bumper only absorbs energy in the final few millimeters, high-speed cycles with real tooling mass require metering out the exhaust or adding an external shock absorber.

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 PB10X100SRLB Is Used
PCB Depaneling Jigs
Drives small cutting blades or routing pins in tight electronics assembly cells where the slim stainless barrel resists flux humidity and fits between dense conveyor lanes.
Blister Pack Sorting
Pushes lightweight pharmaceutical blister packs into secondary cartoning chutes at high frequency, utilizing the 39.3 N extend force and LB bracket for stable body mounting.
Lab Sample Diverting
Actuates tiny diverter gates for micro-tube routing in clinical analyzers, relying on the R axial inlet for flat plumbing against machine frames and the S magnet for switch feedback.
Is the Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X100SRLB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 10 mm bore actuator, consider stepping down to the 6 mm bore if your application requires less force, which provides 14.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa. If you need more power, stepping up to the 12 mm bore yields 56.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa. For this PB10X100SRLB model, plan for a safe working load of about 24 N (roughly 60% of the 0.5 MPa theoretical force) to account for seal friction and smooth travel. In vertical lift scenarios, this equates to lifting about 2 kg with a sane 2:1 safety margin.
Confirm your ordering essentials: 10 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, built-in magnet (S), R axial inlet, and LB mount. Note that a plain double-acting cylinder does not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the piston will drift. For fail-safe load holding, an external stop or rod lock is required. Additionally, the 4 mm rod is designed for coaxial thrust; over this 100 mm stroke, avoid side loading by adding an external guide or linear bearing.
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 PB10X100SRLB 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 proof pressure of 1.2 MPa. It operates at speeds between 50-800 mm/s.
No, a plain double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered. The fixed TPU bumper only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it is not a locking mechanism. For vertical applications requiring fail-safe holding, you must add an external rod lock or mechanical stop.
