The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X110SU is a double-acting pen-size (mini) air cylinder with a Ø10mm bore and 110mm 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.
The AirTAC PB10X110SU is a JIS pen-size double-acting single-rod mini cylinder engineered for compact automation. It delivers 39.3 N of push and 33 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a 4 mm piston rod and an M8x1.0 rod-end thread. The slim SUS304 stainless barrel and screwed-in covers provide excellent durability in damp or mildly corrosive environments while keeping mass low for end-of-arm tooling. Air connects via an M5x0.8 port.
This specific configuration includes a built-in piston magnet for position sensing with AirTAC reed or electronic switches, plus a U-type back cover featuring a 90-degree perpendicular air inlet for flat plumbing. Travel is managed by a fixed TPU bumper at each end that decelerates the last few millimeters of motion. For higher speeds with real tooling mass, metering out the exhaust or fitting an external shock absorber is recommended, as the bumper is not adjustable.

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.
| 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.

Pushes separated circuit boards off a routing fixture using 39.3 N of extend force, where the slim 10 mm barrel clears adjacent tooling without collision.
Tucks small corrugated flaps during case erecting, using the U-type side inlet to keep air plumbing flat against the machine frame in a tight packaging cell.
Actuates a diverter gate for vial routing on diagnostic analyzers, relying on the SUS304 construction to withstand repeated chemical washdowns.
When sizing this actuator, plan for a safe working load of about 24 N, which is roughly 60% of the 39.3 N theoretical push at 0.5 MPa, ensuring smooth travel against seal friction. In vertical lift applications, this equates to lifting about 2 kg with a sane 2:1 safety margin. If you need less force, the neighboring Ø6 bore provides 14.2 N push at 0.5 MPa; stepping up to the Ø12 bore yields 56.5 N. Note that the 4 mm rod is built for coaxial thrust, so over this 110 mm stroke or under off-axis loads, adding an external linear bearing prevents side-load damage.
A plain double-acting cylinder does not hold its position if air pressure drops or the valve is centered—the piston will drift, and the fixed bumper only decelerates near stroke end rather than locking the load. If your process requires fail-safe holding, an external rod lock or mechanical stop is necessary. To order, confirm the 10 mm bore, 110 mm stroke, M5x0.8 porting, S magnet, and U 90-degree side inlet.
Quick checklist
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 is 55 N and the pull is 46.2 N. The operating pressure range is 0.15-0.7 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 bumpers only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends and do not act as a lock. For vertical loads, you must add an external rod lock or mechanical stop.
