Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X10CB
The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X10CB is a double-acting pen-size (mini) air cylinder with a Ø10mm bore and 10mm 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 PB10X10CB
The AirTAC PB10X10CB is a JIS pen-size double-acting mini cylinder engineered for short, high-frequency small-part motion. It features a slim SUS304 stainless steel barrel and piston rod that shrugs off damp or mildly corrosive environments, making it ideal for compact end-of-arm tooling where a standard round body simply will not fit. At 0.5 MPa it provides 39.3 N of push force and 33 N of pull force, peaking at 55 N push under the 0.7 MPa maximum operating pressure.
This specific configuration includes a CB double clevis back cover for pivoting loads and uses an M5x0.8 air port. Travel is governed by a fixed TPU bumper at each end rather than an adjustable air cushion, meaning it absorbs impact only over the final few millimeters. For rapid cycling with attached tooling mass, metering out the exhaust or adding an external shock absorber prevents the bumper from bottoming out.

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 PB10X10CB Is Used
Pouch Flap Folding
The CB double clevis allows pivoting actuation to tuck small carton flaps on high-speed packaging lines, while the SUS304 barrel resists humid washdown environments.
Lab Dispenser Tapping
Provides precise coaxial thrust to tap vial caps in automated liquid handling stations, benefiting from the slim pen-size profile inside crowded scientific instrumentation.
Is the Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X10CB the Right Cylinder?
If you need to step down, the Ø6 bore offers 14.2 N push at 0.5 MPa; stepping up to the Ø12 bore yields 56.5 N push. Remember that a plain PB body drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered, so fit an external rod lock if your process requires fail-safe position holding.
To order, confirm the essentials: 10 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, no sensor magnet, and the CB double clevis mount. The Ø4 mm rod uses an M8x1.0 end thread for load coupling; because the rod is slender, always maintain coaxial alignment and add a linear bearing for any off-axis loads.
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 PB10X10CB FAQ
This double-acting cylinder delivers 39.3 N push and 33 N pull at 0.5 MPa, reaching maximums of 55 N push and 46.2 N pull at the 0.7 MPa pressure limit. It operates at speeds between 50-800 mm/s, uses an M5x0.8 port, and accepts air filtered to 40 um.
No, the piston will drift if air is lost or the valve is centered, as the fixed TPU bumper only decelerates motion near the stroke end rather than locking the rod. If your CB clevis setup requires fail-safe load holding, you must integrate an external stop or rod lock.
