Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X175U
The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X175U 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 PB10X175U
The AirTAC PB10X175U is a double-acting JIS pen-size mini cylinder engineered for compact automation. It generates 39.3 N of push force and 33 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a 10 mm bore and a 175 mm stroke. The slim SUS304 stainless steel round barrel and piston rod provide reliable corrosion resistance in damp or mildly wet environments, keeping overall weight low for end-of-arm tooling.
This model features a U-type back cover providing a 90-degree side air inlet for flat plumbing, with an M5x0.8 port. It reaches speeds of 50-800 mm/s and relies on a fixed TPU bumper at each end to decelerate the piston near stroke limits. Because the rod is a slender 4 mm diameter, maintaining coaxial thrust is critical over this 175 mm stroke 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 |

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 PB10X175U Is Used
PCB Depaneling Router
Pushes a light carrier plate into position under a routing spindle, where the slim 10 mm barrel avoids clashing with the cutter head.
Lab Dispense Head
Moves a small syringe assembly downward for reagent dosing, benefiting from the 90-degree side inlet to keep the vertical axis compact.
Carton Flap Folder
Tucks minor flaps on a small carton sealing line, using the 175 mm stroke to clear the package path before retracting.
Is the Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X175U the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, stepping down to a 6 mm bore yields 14.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a 12 mm bore provides 56.5 N. For the PB10X175U specifically, plan for a safe working load of approximately 24 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa theoretical force) to account for seal friction. This equates to lifting roughly 2 kg vertically with a sane 2:1 safety margin.
Note that a plain PB cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, as the fixed TPU bumper only decelerates near the end of travel rather than locking the rod. To finalize your order, confirm the 10 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, M5x0.8 porting, U 90-degree side inlet, and that no sensor magnet is required.
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 PB10X175U FAQ
This double-acting cylinder delivers 39.3 N push and 33 N pull at 0.5 MPa, with maximum theoretical forces of 55 N push and 46.2 N pull at the 0.7 MPa pressure limit. It operates between 0.15-0.7 MPa at speeds of 50-800 mm/s.
The U back cover provides a 90-degree side air inlet for flat plumbing. The cylinder uses fixed TPU bumpers at both ends that decelerate the piston over the last few millimeters; they are not adjustable, so metering out the exhaust is recommended for high-speed loads.
