Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X145SU
The AirTAC PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X145SU is a double-acting pen-size (mini) air cylinder with a Ø10mm bore and 145mm 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 PB10X145SU
The AirTAC PB10X145SU is a JIS pen-size double-acting single-rod mini cylinder engineered for compact automation. It features a slim SUS304 stainless steel barrel and a 4 mm rod, delivering 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. The integrated magnet allows position detection using AirTAC reed or electronic switches. A 90-degree U-type side inlet simplifies flat plumbing in confined spaces.
This 145 mm stroke unit relies on fixed TPU bumpers at both ends to decelerate the piston near travel limits. Because the bumper is not adjustable, high-speed cycles with attached tooling mass may require metering out the exhaust or adding an external shock absorber. The piston rod and barrel resist damp environments, making it suitable for light end-of-arm tooling where space is tight.

| Stroke | 145 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 PB10X145SU Is Used
PCB Depaneling Jig
Pushes a lightweight cutting blade guide across a routed circuit board panel, utilizing the 90-degree side inlet to keep pneumatic tubing flat against the machine frame.
Carton Flap Folder
Tucks small corrugated box flaps at high speed, where the fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact and the SUS304 barrel resists humidity in packaging plants.
Lab Sample Dispenser
Actuates a small pipette head to deposit reagents, relying on the built-in magnet to trigger an electronic switch for precise fluid volume metering.
Is the Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X145SU the Right Cylinder?
If you need less force, stepping down to the 6 mm bore yields 14.2 N push; if your jig requires more thrust, stepping up to the 12 mm bore provides 56.5 N push at the same pressure. Note that a plain PB cylinder does not hold its position if air pressure drops or the valve is centered, so an external rod lock is needed for fail-safe holding.
Confirm your ordering essentials: 10 mm bore, 145 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, S magnet, and U 90-degree side inlet. The 4 mm rod uses an M8x1.0 rod-end thread. Because the rod is slender, maintain coaxial alignment and add an external linear bearing for any off-axis loads over this long stroke.
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 PB10X145SU FAQ
At 0.5 MPa this 10 mm bore cylinder provides 39.3 N push and 33 N pull. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, it yields 55 N push and 46.2 N pull. It operates between 0.15 and 0.7 MPa, runs at speeds of 50-800 mm/s, and has a proof pressure of 1.2 MPa.
The U suffix denotes a 90-degree perpendicular side air inlet for flat plumbing. The cylinder uses fixed TPU bumpers at both ends to decelerate the last few millimeters of travel, which is not adjustable or a locking brake. For high-speed cycles with heavy tooling, you should meter-out the exhaust or install an external shock absorber.
