Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X150SR
The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X150SR 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 PB10X150SR
The AirTAC PB10X150SR is a double-acting JIS pen-size mini cylinder engineered for compact, high-frequency motion. It features a slim SUS304 stainless steel round barrel and a 4 mm piston rod, delivering 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. The integrated S magnet enables position detection using AirTAC reed or electronic switches, while the R axial inlet supports tidy in-line plumbing.
Operating at speeds of 50-800 mm/s with an M5x0.8 port, this unit relies on a fixed TPU bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke. Because the rod is only 4 mm thick, you should maintain coaxial thrust and avoid side loading over the 150 mm extension. For practical sizing, plan for a safe working load of about 24 N, which is roughly 60 percent of the theoretical 0.5 MPa output.

| Stroke | 150 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 |

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 PB10X150SR Is Used
PCB Depaneling Jig
Actuates a light cutting head across 150 mm to singulate printed circuit boards, where the slim pen-size profile keeps the fixture compact and the S magnet confirms cut completion.
Film Roll Tensioner
Trims a packaging web guide over a 150 mm travel on a vertical form-fill machine, benefiting from the SUS304 build in mildly humid environments and the R inlet for flush pipe routing.
Lab Dispenser Positioning
Extends a micro-valve over a 150 mm path to deposit reagents into sample trays, safely lifting about 2 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin before retracting.
Is the Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X150SR the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, stepping down to the Ø6 bore yields 14.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the Ø12 bore provides 56.5 N. This 10 mm model sits comfortably in the middle for light-duty tooling. Note that a standard PB body does not hold its load if air pressure drops or the valve centers; the piston will drift, so an external stop or rod lock is required for fail-safe positioning.
Confirm your ordering essentials before checkout: 10 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, S magnet for sensors, and the R axial back cover inlet. The fixed TPU bumper is not adjustable, so if you are moving real tooling mass at high speeds, meter-out the exhaust or install an external shock absorber to prevent bottoming out.
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 PB10X150SR FAQ
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 force is 55 N and the pull force is 46.2 N. The operating pressure range is 0.15-0.7 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.2 MPa.
No, a plain PB-type cylinder does not hold its position when air is lost or the valve is centered; the piston drifts and the fixed TPU bumper only decelerates it near the stroke end. For a fail-safe vertical hold, you must add an external stop or rod lock.
