Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X175CB
The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X175CB is a double-acting pen-size (mini) air cylinder with a Ø10mm bore and 175mm 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 PB10X175CB
The AirTAC PB10X175CB is a JIS pen-size double-acting single-rod mini cylinder engineered for compact automation. It generates 39.3 N of push and 33 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a 10 mm bore and a 175 mm stroke. The slim SUS304 stainless barrel and piston rod provide reliable durability in damp or mildly corrosive environments, keeping overall mass low for fast end-of-arm tooling.
This specific configuration includes a CB double clevis back cover, allowing the body to pivot smoothly on articulated linkages. Air connects via an M5x0.8 port, while the Ø4 mm rod features an M8x1.0 end thread for secure load coupling. Because the rod is relatively slender over this extended stroke, maintaining coaxial alignment is critical to prevent premature wear.

| 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 |

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 PB10X175CB Is Used
PCB Depaneling Router
Pivots a cutting tool guide on its CB clevis to trace circuit board outlines, utilizing the 175 mm stroke to clear large 300 mm panels.
Package Flap Folder
Swings corrugated carton flaps during automated packing lines, where the 39.3 N push force easily overcomes board resistance.
Lab Sample Dispenser
Actuates a pivoting pipette arm across a multi-well plate, benefiting from the SUS304 stainless build in humid incubator environments.
Is the Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X175CB the Right Cylinder?
Choosing this 10 mm bore yields 39.3 N push at 0.5 MPa. If your task requires less force, stepping down to the 6 mm bore provides 14.2 N; conversely, moving up to the 12 mm bore offers 56.5 N. Plan for a safe working load of roughly 24 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa theoretical force) to account for friction, which translates to lifting approximately 2 kg vertically with a sane 2:1 margin.
When ordering, confirm the 10 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, and the CB double clevis pivot. Note that this unit lacks a sensor magnet. The fixed TPU bumper at each end decelerates the piston near stroke limits but is not adjustable; for high-speed cycling with heavy tooling, meter-out the exhaust or add an external shock absorber. A plain cylinder drifts when air is lost, so install an external rod lock if the application demands fail-safe position 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 PB10X175CB 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 is 55 N and the pull is 46.2 N. The operating pressure range is 0.15-0.7 MPa, with a speed of 50-800 mm/s.
No, a plain double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered. The fixed TPU bumper only decelerates the piston near the end of stroke and does not act as a brake. An external rod lock or mechanical stop is required for fail-safe load holding.
