Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X10SULB
The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X10SULB 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 PB10X10SULB
The AirTAC PB10X10SULB is a JIS pen-size double-acting mini cylinder engineered for compact, high-frequency motion. It features a slim SUS304 stainless steel round barrel and a 4 mm piston rod, yielding 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. The U option provides a 90-degree side air inlet for flat plumbing, while the LB bracket supplies a robust mounting interface. Air connections use an M5x0.8 port.
Because the stroke is only 10 mm, this configuration excels in tight jigs where space is at a premium. The S code denotes a built-in piston magnet compatible with AirTAC reed or electronic switches for position sensing. Deceleration relies on a fixed TPU bumper at each end rather than an adjustable air cushion, meaning the rod is not locked if air pressure drops.

| Bore size | Ø10 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø4 mm |
| 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 |
| Cushion | Elastic bumper (both ends) |

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 PB10X10SULB Is Used
PCB Probe Testing
Drives delicate test probes down onto circuit boards with a safe 24 N working load, ensuring contact without cracking the substrate.
Film Cutting Jaws
Actuates high-speed sealing and cutting blades inside narrow packaging machinery where the 90-degree inlet keeps hoses flush.
Pick-and-Place Ejector
Ejects small electronic components from vacuum grippers on light end-of-arm tooling, using the LB bracket for secure robot mounting.
Is the Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X10SULB the Right Cylinder?
This 10 mm bore generates 39.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, sitting between the 14.2 N push of the smaller Ø6 and the 56.5 N push of the larger Ø12. The 4 mm rod is built for coaxial thrust, so avoid side loading.
When ordering, verify the 10 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, S magnet, U 90-degree side inlet, and LB mounting bracket. Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost; if your process must hold a load without live pressure, install an external stop or rod lock.
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 PB10X10SULB FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 39.3 N and the pull force is 33.0 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, the push force is 55.0 N and the pull force is 46.2 N. The operating speed ranges from 50 to 800 mm/s.
It uses a fixed TPU bumper at each end to decelerate the piston over the final few millimeters, which is not adjustable. For higher speeds with real tooling mass, meter-out the exhaust or add an external shock absorber. The built-in S magnet allows position detection using AirTAC reed or electronic switches.
