Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X135SCB
The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X135SCB is a double-acting pen-size (mini) air cylinder with a Ø10mm bore and 135mm 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 PB10X135SCB
The AirTAC PB10X135SCB is a double-acting JIS pen-size mini cylinder engineered for compact, high-frequency motion. It features a 10mm bore and generates 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, utilizing an M5x0.8 air port and an M8x1.0 rod-end thread. The SUS304 stainless barrel and piston rod provide reliable durability in damp or mildly corrosive work areas, while the slim profile saves valuable space on tight jigs.
This specific configuration includes a built-in piston magnet for position detection using AirTAC reed or electronic switches, along with a CB double clevis back cover for pivoting loads. Because it travels 135 mm on a slender 4 mm rod, maintaining coaxial alignment is critical to prevent side-loading. The end-of-stroke deceleration relies on a fixed TPU bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, meaning heavy tooling mass at high speeds may require external shock absorption.

| 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 PB10X135SCB Is Used
PCB Depaneling Routing
Actuates a routing blade fixture on an electronics assembly line, utilizing the 135mm stroke to separate large circuit panels without stressing adjacent components.
Film Roll Tensioning
Pivots a dancer arm via the CB clevis to maintain consistent tension on packaging film unwinds, compensating for roll diameter changes during high-speed wrapping.
Lab Sample Dispensing
Drives a pipette head across a multi-well plate in diagnostic equipment, where the stainless body resists humid lab environments and the compact size minimizes moving mass.
Is the Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X135SCB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, consider stepping down to the Ø6 bore for lighter duties, which offers 14.2 N push at 0.5 MPa, or stepping up to the Ø12 bore for heavier loads, providing 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa. For this 10mm model, a safe working load is approximately 24 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa theoretical force), which equates to lifting roughly 2 kg vertically with a sane 2:1 margin.
Remember that a plain pen-size body does not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the piston will drift, so applications requiring fail-safe holding need an external stop or rod lock. To order, confirm the 10mm bore, 135mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, S magnet, and CB double clevis mount.
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 PB10X135SCB FAQ
This double-acting cylinder delivers 39.3 N push and 33 N pull at 0.5 MPa, with maximums of 55 N push and 46.2 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The operating pressure range is 0.15-0.7 MPa, the proof pressure is 1.2 MPa, and the speed range is 50-800 mm/s.
The CB back cover provides a double clevis joint for pivoting applications. Deceleration at stroke ends is handled by a fixed TPU bumper, not an adjustable air cushion. If moving real tooling mass at high speeds, you should meter-out the exhaust or add an external shock absorber, as the bumper only decelerates the last few millimeters.
