Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X10SCB
The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X10SCB 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 PB10X10SCB
The AirTAC PB10X10SCB is a double-acting JIS pen-size mini cylinder engineered for high-frequency small-part motion. It features a slim SUS304 stainless barrel and piston rod, providing excellent durability in damp or mildly corrosive environments without adding bulk to your end-of-arm tooling. Delivering 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this unit operates at speeds from 50-800 mm/s.
This specific configuration includes a built-in piston magnet (S) for position detection using AirTAC reed or electronic switches, and a CB double clevis back cover for pivoting loads. The Ø4 mm rod has an M8x1.0 end thread for secure coupling. It uses an M5x0.8 air port and relies on a fixed TPU bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke, meaning you should meter-out the exhaust or add an external shock absorber if cycling high tooling masses rapidly.

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 PB10X10SCB Is Used
PCB Pick-and-Place
Ideal for electronics assembly jigs where the slim stainless body and 39.3 N push force securely index small connectors onto printed circuit boards.
Pouch Sealing Clamp
The CB double clevis accommodates pivoting articulation on packaging lines, applying precise clamping pressure for thin-film pouch sealing operations.
Lab Dispenser Actuation
Provides fast, repeatable 10 mm strokes for micro-fluidic valve actuation in laboratory automation, benefiting from the S magnet for exact cycle counting.
Is the Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X10SCB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, plan for a safe working load of about 24 N (roughly 60% of the 39.3 N theoretical push at 0.5 MPa) to account for seal friction and smooth travel. In vertical lift scenarios, this translates to lifting about 2 kg safely with a 2:1 margin. If you need less force, the Ø6 bore provides 14.2 N push at 0.5 MPa; stepping up to the Ø16 bore yields 100.5 N. Keep in mind the thin Ø4 mm rod is designed strictly for coaxial thrust, so over long strokes or off-axis loads you should add an external linear bearing to prevent side-loading damage.
A plain double-acting cylinder does not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, as the piston will drift and the bumper only decelerates near the stroke end. For a fail-safe hold, specify an external stop or rod lock. To order, confirm your essentials: 10 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, S magnet, CB double clevis, and your preferred 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 PB10X10SCB FAQ
This double-acting cylinder delivers a push force of 39.3 N and a pull force of 33 N at 0.5 MPa. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, it provides 55 N push and 46.2 N pull. It operates between 0.15-0.7 MPa, runs at speeds of 50-800 mm/s, and has a proof pressure of 1.2 MPa.
No, the piston will drift if air is lost or the valve is centered, as the fixed TPU bumper only decelerates the rod near the stroke end and does not act as a lock. For vertical load holding, you must add an external rod lock or mechanical stop.
