Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X100SULB
The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X100SULB 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 PB10X100SULB
The AirTAC PB10X100SULB is a double-acting JIS pen-size mini cylinder engineered for compact automation. It generates 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a slim SUS304 stainless steel round barrel and a 4 mm piston rod to fit tight jigs and light end-of-arm tooling where space is restricted. The U option provides a 90-degree perpendicular side air inlet for flat plumbing, while the LB bracket supplies a rigid mounting interface.
This 100 mm stroke unit features an integrated piston magnet (S code) for position sensing using AirTAC reed or electronic switches. It operates at speeds from 50-800 mm/s and relies on a fixed TPU bumper at each end to decelerate the piston over the final few millimeters of travel. Because the bumper is not adjustable, adding an external shock absorber is recommended when moving heavy tooling masses at high velocities.

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 PB10X100SULB Is Used
PCB Depaneling Routing
Advances a high-speed router bit along a 100 mm path to singulate circuit boards, utilizing the slim 10 mm body to fit between dense tooling arrays.
Blister Pack Sealing
Closes a lightweight aluminum sealing head against a heated platen, using the U side inlet to keep pneumatic plumbing flat against the machine frame.
Micro-Component Sorting
Pushes surface-mount resistors into designated tubes on a test handler, triggering an AirTAC electronic switch via the integrated magnet to confirm ejection.
Is the Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X100SULB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 10 mm bore actuator, stepping down to a 6 mm bore yields 14.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to a 12 mm bore provides 56.5 N. For this specific model, plan for a safe working load of roughly 24 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa rating) to account for seal friction, which translates to lifting approximately 2 kg vertically with a sane 2:1 margin. Confirm your ordering essentials: 10 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, magnet included, U side inlet, and LB mount.
The 4 mm rod is designed strictly for coaxial thrust; over this 100 mm stroke, any off-axis load warrants an external linear bearing to prevent binding. Additionally, a standard PB body does not hold its position if air pressure drops or the valve centers—the piston will drift, as the bumper only decelerates near stroke end rather than locking the load.
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 PB10X100SULB FAQ
At 0.5 MPa this 10 mm bore cylinder provides 39.3 N of push and 33 N of pull. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, the push is 55 N and the pull is 46.2 N. It operates between 0.15-0.7 MPa, runs at speeds of 50-800 mm/s, and uses an M5x0.8 air port.
No, the piston will drift if air is removed or the valve is centered. The fixed TPU bumper only decelerates the rod near the end of its stroke; it does not function as a locking brake. For fail-safe vertical holding, you must install an external rod lock or mechanical stop.
