Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X150CB
The AirTAC PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X150CB is a double-acting pen-size (mini) air cylinder with a Ø10mm bore and 150mm 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 PB10X150CB
The AirTAC PB10X150CB is a JIS double-acting pen-size mini cylinder engineered for compact, high-frequency small-part motion. It features a slim SUS304 stainless steel barrel and piston rod, offering excellent durability in damp or mildly corrosive environments while keeping end-of-arm tooling lightweight. Delivering 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it operates via an M5x0.8 port and an M8x1.0 rod-end thread.
This 150 mm stroke variant includes a CB double clevis back cover, allowing the body to pivot smoothly on a pin mount. The internal fixed TPU bumper decelerates the piston near the stroke ends but is not adjustable, meaning external shock absorbers are recommended for high-speed tooling.

| 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 PB10X150CB Is Used
PCB Depaneling Router
Actuates a pivoting cutting head to singulate printed circuit boards, utilizing the CB clevis to maintain alignment while the 39.3 N push force cleanly shears the substrate.
Flow-Wrap Film Sealing
Drives a pivoting sealing jaw on a horizontal packaging line, where the compact stainless body withstands washdowns and the 150 mm stroke accommodates varying product widths.
Pneumatic Sorting Diverter
Swings a lightweight aluminum flap to route small plastic bottles down a secondary lane, relying on the double clevis mount to absorb the pivot arc without binding.
Is the Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X150CB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this unit, stepping down to the Ø6 bore yields 14.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the Ø12 bore provides 56.5 N, letting you fine-tune the force to your actual jig requirements. Because the CB double clevis accommodates pivoting loads, ensure your mount allows lateral swing without binding the rod. Confirm your ordering essentials: 10 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, no sensor magnet, and the CB clevis back cover.
A standard PB cylinder does not hold its position if air pressure drops or the valve is centered; the piston will drift, and the bumper only decelerates it near the end of travel. If your process requires a fail-safe hold under load, you must integrate an external mechanical stop or a dedicated rod lock. Additionally, the 4 mm rod is designed strictly for coaxial thrust, so over this 150 mm extension, utilize an external linear bearing to prevent side-loading damage.
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 PB10X150CB FAQ
This double-acting cylinder provides 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 ranges from 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 features a double clevis that allows the cylinder body to pivot, which is ideal for articulating mechanisms. At the stroke ends, a fixed TPU bumper decelerates the piston, but it is not field-adjustable; for heavy or fast tooling mass, you should meter-out the exhaust or add an external shock absorber.
