Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X150SU
The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X150SU 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 PB10X150SU
The AirTAC PB10X150SU is a double-acting JIS pen-size mini cylinder engineered for compact, high-frequency motion. It features a slim SUS304 stainless steel barrel and piston rod, offering excellent durability in damp or mildly corrosive environments while keeping weight low for end-of-arm tooling. Delivering 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it operates on an M5x0.8 port and reaches speeds of 50-800 mm/s.
This 10 mm bore, 150 mm stroke variant includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) for position sensing with AirTAC reed or electronic switches. The U suffix designates a 90-degree side air inlet for flat plumbing in tight spaces. Deceleration is handled by a fixed TPU bumper at each end, which absorbs impact over the final few millimeters of travel rather than acting as a lock.

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 PB10X150SU Is Used
PCB Depaneling Ejector
Pushes separated circuit boards off a conveyor lane in electronics assembly, utilizing the 39.3 N push force and slim profile to fit between tight tooling guides.
Blister Pack Flap Tucking
Extends 150 mm to fold cardboard flaps behind plastic blister inserts on a packaging line, where the 90-degree side inlet keeps plumbing flush against the machine frame.
Lab Sample Diverting
Actuates a diverter gate for fluid sample tubes in diagnostic equipment, benefiting from the SUS304 construction to resist humid laboratory environments.
Is the Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X150SU the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, the PB10X150SU provides 39.3 N push and 33 N pull at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, the neighboring Ø6 bore offers 14.2 N push, while stepping up to the Ø12 bore yields 56.5 N push. For real-world work, plan for a safe working load of about 24 N (roughly 60% of the 0.5 MPa theoretical push) to account for seal friction. This equates to lifting about 2 kg vertically with a sane 2:1 safety margin.
Because the thin Ø4 mm piston rod is built for coaxial thrust over its 150 mm stroke, adding an external guide or linear bearing is recommended if side loads are present. Note that a plain PB body does not hold its load if air pressure drops or the valve is centered; the piston will drift, requiring an external rod lock for fail-safe positioning. To order, confirm the 10 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, magnet (-S), and 90-degree side inlet (U).
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 PB10X150SU FAQ
This 10 mm bore double-acting cylinder generates 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 maximum operating pressure is 0.7 MPa, proof pressure is 1.2 MPa, and the operating temperature range is -20 to +70 C.
No, the piston will drift if air is lost or the valve is centered. The fixed TPU bumpers only decelerate the rod near the end caps; they do not function as a locking brake. An external stop or rod lock is required for fail-safe load holding.
