Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X15SR
The AirTAC PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X15SR 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 PB10X15SR
The AirTAC PB10X15SR is a double-acting JIS pen-size mini cylinder engineered for compact, high-frequency small-part motion. It features a slim SUS304 stainless steel barrel and piston rod, providing excellent durability in damp or mildly corrosive workspaces. Generating 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this unit is equipped with an M5x0.8 air port and an M8x1.0 rod-end thread for straightforward load coupling.
This specific configuration includes an R axial air inlet for in-line plumbing and a built-in piston magnet (the -S option) for position sensing. It operates at speeds from 50-800 mm/s and relies on a fixed TPU bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke. Because the rod is a slender 4 mm diameter, it is designed for pure coaxial thrust and requires an external guide if subjected to off-axis loads.

| Series | PB JIS pen-size mini cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø10 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø4 mm |
| Stroke | 15 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 PB10X15SR Is Used
PCB Depaneling Jig
Actuates a small cutting blade or clamp in tight electronics assembly cells where the 15 mm stroke and slim profile prevent interference with adjacent fixtures.
Pharmaceutical Vial Sorting
Pushes lightweight glass vials into a tracking lane using a short, fast 15 mm motion, relying on the stainless body to withstand frequent washdowns.
Pick-and-Place Ejector
Serves as a compact ejector on a lightweight end-of-arm tooling plate, moving small plastic components out of a mold cavity within a 2 kg payload limit.
Is the Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X15SR the Right Cylinder?
If you need less force, the 6 mm bore variant offers 14.2 N push at 0.5 MPa; stepping up to the 12 mm bore yields 56.5 N.
A plain PB-type cylinder does not hold its position if air pressure drops or the valve is centered, as the piston will drift and the bumper only decelerates near the stroke end. For a fail-safe hold, specify an external stop or rod lock. To order, confirm your bore (10 mm), stroke (15 mm), R axial inlet, and the -S magnet for use with AirTAC reed or electronic switches.
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 PB10X15SR FAQ
The 10 mm bore produces 39.3 N push and 33 N pull at 0.5 MPa. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, it yields 55 N push and 46.2 N pull. It operates between 0.15-0.7 MPa at speeds of 50-800 mm/s.
It uses a fixed TPU bumper at each end that decelerates the piston over the last few millimeters; it is not adjustable, so high-speed tooling may require metering the exhaust or adding an external shock absorber. The -S magnet allows AirTAC reed or electronic switches to read the piston position.
