Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X200CB
The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X200CB is a double-acting pen-size (mini) air cylinder with a Ø10mm bore and 200mm 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 PB10X200CB
The AirTAC PB10X200CB is a JIS pen-size double-acting single-rod mini cylinder engineered for compact, high-frequency small-part motion. It delivers a theoretical push of 39.3 N and pull of 33 N at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a slim SUS304 stainless steel round barrel and a 4 mm piston rod to fit tight jigs and light end-of-arm tooling. This specific configuration includes a CB double clevis back cover, providing a pivoting mount connection for applications requiring angular alignment.
Air enters via an M5x0.8 port, driving the piston at speeds of 50-800 mm/s up to a maximum operating pressure of 0.7 MPa. Deceleration at stroke ends relies on a fixed TPU bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, meaning it only absorbs impact over the final few millimeters. Because this unit lacks a sensor magnet, position verification requires external methods. The 200 mm stroke represents the maximum standard extension for this 10 mm bore, making the slender 4 mm rod susceptible to side-loading forces over its long travel.

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 PB10X200CB Is Used
PCB Depanelling Ejector
Pushes separated circuit boards out of a routing fixture with a pivoting CB clevis motion, utilizing the 39.3 N extend force to clear the tooling without stressing the 4 mm rod.
Pouch Flap Opener
Swings into position to peel open carton flaps on a packaging line, where the 200 mm stroke reaches across the packaging material while the compact body saves valuable vertical space.
Small Parts Diverter
Pivots a guide rail to sort lightweight plastic caps on a conveyor, relying on the double-acting force to positively reset the diverter arm against passing product flow.
Is the Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X200CB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, plan for a safe working load of approximately 24 N, which represents about 60% of the 39.3 N theoretical push at 0.5 MPa, ensuring smooth travel after accounting for seal friction. In vertical lift scenarios, this equates to lifting about 2 kg with a sane 2:1 safety margin. If your application requires less force, stepping down to the 6 mm bore yields a 14.2 N push at 0.5 MPa; if more thrust is needed, stepping up to the 12 mm bore provides a 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa.
This PB10X200CB variant features a CB double clevis for pivoting loads and no internal magnet. Because the 4 mm rod is highly slender over a 200 mm stroke, adding an external linear bearing is strongly recommended to prevent binding under off-axis loads. Note that a plain double-acting cylinder does not hold its position if air pressure drops or the valve is centered—the piston will drift, and the fixed bumper only decelerates near the stroke end, 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 PB10X200CB FAQ
This 10 mm bore double-acting cylinder provides a push of 39.3 N and a pull of 33 N at 0.5 MPa. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, the push is 55 N and the pull is 46.2 N. It operates on filtered air at 0.15-0.7 MPa with speeds of 50-800 mm/s.
The CB back cover provides a double clevis joint that allows the cylinder to pivot on a pin, accommodating loads that require angular movement. At 200 mm of travel, the fixed TPU bumper at each end only decelerates the piston over the final few millimeters, so for high-speed tooling mass, you should meter-out the exhaust or add an external shock absorber.
