Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X15CB
The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X15CB is a double-acting pen-size (mini) air cylinder with a Ø10mm bore and 15mm 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 PB10X15CB
The AirTAC PB10X15CB is a double-acting JIS pen-size mini cylinder engineered for compact, high-frequency small-part motion. It provides 39.3 N of push and 33 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a slim SUS304 stainless steel barrel and a 4 mm rod to fit tight jigs and light end-of-arm tooling where larger bodies cannot. The M5x0.8 air ports keep plumbing small while the M8x1.0 rod-end thread secures the load.
This specific configuration includes a CB double clevis back cover, allowing the body to pivot smoothly on articulated mounts. Travel is capped by a fixed TPU bumper at each end rather than an adjustable air cushion, meaning it only decelerates the final few millimeters of a 15 mm stroke. For rapid cycling with real tooling mass, metering out the exhaust or adding an external shock absorber prevents the bumper from bottoming out.

| 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 PB10X15CB Is Used
PCB Pick-and-Place
Drives a tiny vacuum gripper to lift and position delicate circuit boards within dense SMT assembly machinery.
Pouch Flap Folding
Executes short 15 mm strokes to tuck cardboard flaps on compact packaging lines without taking up valuable frame space.
Lab Dispenser Actuation
Pivots via its CB clevis to accurately press a micro-valve on automated fluid dispensing rigs for reagents.
Is the Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X15CB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, plan for a safe working load of about 24 N, which is roughly 60 percent of the 39.3 N theoretical push at 0.5 MPa, ensuring smooth travel against seal friction. If your payload is lighter and you need a smaller footprint, the Ø6 bore offers 14.2 N of push; if you need substantially more force, stepping up to the Ø12 bore yields 56.5 N. To verify your build, confirm the 10 mm bore, 15 mm stroke, M5x0.8 porting, and the CB double clevis option. Note that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered, so an external rod lock is required for fail-safe holding.
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 PB10X15CB FAQ
At 0.5 MPa this 10 mm bore cylinder outputs 39.3 N of push and 33 N of pull. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, those figures rise to 55 N push and 46.2 N pull. It operates between 0.15-0.7 MPa at speeds of 50-800 mm/s.
The CB option provides a double clevis for pivoting mounts. End-of-stroke energy is managed by fixed TPU bumpers rather than adjustable cushions, so they only absorb the final few millimeters. Because the thin 4 mm rod is built for coaxial thrust, avoid side loading and add an external guide if the stroke length or payload induces bending moments.
