The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X200SU 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.
The AirTAC PB10X200SU is a double-acting JIS pen-size mini cylinder engineered for compact, high-frequency motion. It generates 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a slim SUS304 stainless steel barrel and a 4 mm rod to fit tight jigs where space and payload are critical. The U option provides a 90-degree side air inlet for flat plumbing along your manifold.
Because this 200 mm stroke reaches the maximum standard length for a 10 mm bore, the slender 4 mm rod requires external guidance to prevent side-load deflection. The S suffix adds a piston magnet for position detection, and the body incorporates a fixed TPU bumper at each end rather than an adjustable air cushion. Operating speed spans 50-800 mm/s, with an M5x0.8 port driving the action.

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.
| 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.

Pushes a light tooling pin to secure circuit boards during automated routing, using the 200 mm stroke to clear the work envelope completely when retracting.
Extends a small paddle to deflect lightweight mail parcels on a flat belt line, where the U side inlet keeps pneumatic tubing flush against the machine frame.
Actuates a pipette carriage across a 200 mm span for fluid handling, benefiting from the SUS304 stainless construction in damp laboratory environments.
When sizing this actuator, the 10 mm bore sits right in the middle of the PB family. If you need less force, stepping down to the 6 mm bore yields 14.2 N push at 0.5 MPa; stepping up to the 12 mm bore provides 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa. For this specific 200 mm stroke, plan for a safe working load of roughly 24 N (about 60 percent of the 0.5 MPa theoretical force) to account for seal friction, which translates to lifting around 2 kg vertically with a sane 2:1 margin.
A standard PB body 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 end of travel; install an external rod lock for fail-safe holding. To order, confirm your bore (10 mm), stroke (200 mm), M5x0.8 porting, S magnet for reed or electronic switches, and the U 90-degree side inlet configuration.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder delivers 39.3 N push and 33 N pull at 0.5 MPa, with maximums of 55 N push and 46.2 N pull at the 0.7 MPa pressure limit. It operates at speeds of 50-800 mm/s and uses an M5x0.8 port.
It uses a fixed TPU bumper at each end that decelerates the piston over the last few millimeters; it is not an adjustable air cushion, so you may need external shock absorption for heavy high-speed loads. The built-in S magnet allows you to track position using AirTAC reed or electronic switches.
