Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X10SR
The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X10SR 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 PB10X10SR
The AirTAC PB10X10SR is a JIS pen-size double-acting mini cylinder engineered for compact, high-frequency small-part motion. It features a 10mm bore and a 10mm stroke, generating 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. The slim SUS304 stainless steel barrel and piston rod provide reliable durability in damp or mildly corrosive work areas while keeping end-of-arm tooling exceptionally light.
This variant includes an S-coded piston magnet for position sensing with AirTAC reed or electronic switches, alongside an R axial air inlet for in-line plumbing. Air flows through an M5x0.8 port, and the unit 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.

| Stroke | 10 mm |
| 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 |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 50 – 800 mm/s |

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 PB10X10SR Is Used
Pick-and-Place Ejector
Short 10mm stroke rapidly ejects small electronic components from SMT lines without occupying valuable vertical space.
Carton Flap Tucking
Delivers the precise 39.3 N push at 0.5 MPa needed to tuck minor flaps on small pharmaceutical cartons before sealing.
Lab Sample Diverting
Compact stainless body withstands wipe-down chemicals in diagnostic analyzers while diverting test tubes via a pivot knuckle.
Is the Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X10SR the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 10mm bore actuator, consider stepping down to the 6mm bore for lighter duties (14.2 N push at 0.5 MPa) or moving up to the 12mm bore for heavier loads (56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa). Keep in mind the thin 4mm rod is designed strictly for coaxial thrust; over long strokes or off-axis loads, add an external linear bearing to prevent side-load damage. A plain double-acting cylinder does not hold its position if air pressure drops or the valve is centered, so install an external rod lock for fail-safe load holding.
To order, confirm the essentials: 10mm bore, 10mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, S magnet for switch sensing, and R axial inlet. Standard mounting brackets (LB, FA, CJ) and knuckles (I, Y, F, U) are available to fit your specific jig geometry.
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 PB10X10SR FAQ
The PB10X10SR generates 39.3 N push and 33 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 55 N push and 46.2 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The maximum operating pressure is 0.7 MPa, with a speed range of 50-800 mm/s and a proof pressure of 1.2 MPa.
No, the piston will drift if air is lost or the valve is centered. The fixed TPU bumper only decelerates the rod near the stroke end; it does not act as a lock. An external stop or rod lock is required for fail-safe load holding.
