Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X200SCB
The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X200SCB 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 PB10X200SCB
The AirTAC PB10X200SCB is a double-acting JIS pen-size mini cylinder engineered for compact, high-frequency motion. It features a slim SUS304 stainless steel round barrel and piston rod, offering excellent durability in damp or mildly corrosive environments while saving valuable space and payload on light end-of-arm tooling. Delivering 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it utilizes an M5x0.8 air port and an M8x1.0 rod-end thread for straightforward load coupling.
This specific configuration includes a built-in piston magnet (S) for position detection using AirTAC reed or electronic switches, along with a CB double clevis back cover for pivoting loads. Because it operates at the 200 mm maximum standard stroke limit for this bore, the fixed TPU bumper at each end handles end-of-stroke deceleration. The slim Ø4 mm rod provides coaxial thrust, but over this extended length, adding an external guide or linear bearing is highly recommended to prevent side-load binding.

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 PB10X200SCB Is Used
PCB Depanelling Pivot
Swings a lightweight cutting blade or guide arm across routed circuit boards, utilizing the CB clevis to maintain alignment while the stainless body resists flux humidity.
Package Flap Tucking
Extends 200 mm to push carton flaps closed on a packing line, where the built-in magnet confirms stroke completion for the PLC before the sealing head descends.
Lab Sample Dispenser
Actuates a pivoting nozzle arm to deposit reagents into test arrays, benefiting from the slim profile to fit between dense rack arrays without collision.
Is the Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X200SCB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, consider stepping down to the Ø6 bore if your payload is very light, which provides 14.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa. If you need significantly more thrust, stepping up to the Ø12 bore yields 56.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa. For the PB10X200SCB specifically, plan for a safe working load of about 24 N (roughly 60% of the 0.5 MPa theoretical force) to account for seal friction and smooth travel. This equates to lifting about 2 kg vertically with a sane 2:1 safety margin.
Remember that a plain pen-type actuator does not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the piston will drift, so an external rod lock or mechanical stop is required for fail-safe holding. To order, confirm your essential specs: 10 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, S magnet for sensing, and the CB double clevis mount.
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 PB10X200SCB FAQ
This double-acting single-rod cylinder delivers 39.3 N push and 33 N pull at 0.5 MPa. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, it provides 55 N push and 46.2 N pull. It operates between 0.15-0.7 MPa at speeds of 50-800 mm/s, with a proof pressure of 1.2 MPa.
The CB double clevis allows the body to pivot, accommodating slight misalignments over the long 200 mm travel. End-of-stroke energy is managed by a fixed TPU bumper at each end, which decelerates the piston in the final few millimeters; it is not adjustable or a locking brake, so metering out the exhaust or adding an external shock absorber is advised for heavy tooling.
