Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X10R
The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X10R 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 PB10X10R
The AirTAC PB10X10R is a JIS double-acting single-rod pen-size mini cylinder engineered for high-frequency small-part motion. It delivers 39.3 N of push and 33 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, operating at speeds from 50-800 mm/s. The slim SUS304 stainless barrel and piston rod provide excellent durability in damp or mildly corrosive environments, keeping weight low for end-of-arm tooling.
This specific configuration uses an R axial air inlet for in-line plumbing and features an M5x0.8 port. Because it lacks a sensor magnet, position detection is not available out of the box. The unit relies on a fixed TPU bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke, and the 4 mm rod is designed strictly for coaxial thrust.

| 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 |

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 PB10X10R Is Used
PCB Pick & Place
Drives short 10 mm ejector strokes in electronic assembly jigs where the slim body saves space and the 24 N safe working load easily handles small component positioning.
Film Feed Cutting
Actuates a sealing jaw blade in packaging machinery, utilizing the axial R inlet for flat in-line plumbing and the fixed TPU bumper to soften the rapid end-of-stroke impact.
Lab Dispenser Trigger
Triggers precise micro-liter fluid valves on analytical instruments, benefiting from the SUS304 stainless build that resists humid laboratory environments.
Is the Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X10R the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 10 mm bore actuator, consider stepping down to the 6 mm bore for lighter duties, which provides 14.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires more force, stepping up to the 12 mm bore yields 56.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa. A practical safe working load for this PB10X10R is roughly 24 N at 0.5 MPa, accounting for seal friction and smooth travel.
Keep in mind that a standard PB cylinder does not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the piston will drift, and the fixed bumper only decelerates it near the end of the stroke. For fail-safe holding, an external stop or rod lock is required. Confirm your ordering essentials: 10 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, no magnet, R axial inlet, and no mounting bracket.
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 PB10X10R 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 and a speed range 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 end of its stroke and does not act as a lock. For vertical loads, you should add an external guide to protect the slender 4 mm rod from side loads, and use an external stop or rod lock for fail-safe holding.
