Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X25SCB
The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X25SCB is a double-acting pen-size (mini) air cylinder with a Ø10mm bore and 25mm 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 PB10X25SCB
The AirTAC PB10X25SCB is a JIS pen-size double-acting single-rod mini cylinder engineered for compact automation. It provides a theoretical push of 39.3 N and pull of 33 N at 0.5 MPa, driven through an M5x0.8 air port. The slim SUS304 stainless barrel and piston rod offer reliable durability in damp or mildly corrosive environments while keeping mass low for high-frequency small-part motion.
This variant includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) for position sensing using AirTAC reed or electronic switches, and a CB double clevis back cover for pivoting loads. End-of-stroke deceleration relies on a fixed TPU bumper at each end rather than an adjustable air cushion. Because the rod is a slender Ø4 mm threaded M8x1.0, it is built for coaxial thrust and requires an external guide if subjected to off-axis loads.

| Rod diameter | Ø4 mm |
| Stroke | 25 mm |
| 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 PB10X25SCB Is Used
PCB Pick-and-Place
Drives a small vacuum gripper on a pick-and-place head to lift electronic components, utilizing the lightweight pen-size body to minimize end-of-arm inertia.
Pouch Sealing Clamp
Actuates a pivoting jaw arm via the CB clevis to hold packaging film taut during heat sealing, fitting neatly within tight machine guarding.
Lab Dispenser Positioning
Moves a micro-valve tip for precise chemical dosing, where the SUS304 construction resists humid lab conditions and the bumpers soften the rapid stroke ends.
Is the Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X25SCB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 10 mm bore actuator, stepping down to a 6 mm bore drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 14.2 N, while stepping up to a 12 mm bore increases it to 56.5 N. For real-world work, plan for a safe 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 margin.
To finalize your order, confirm the 10 mm bore, 25 mm stroke, M5x0.8 porting, the integrated magnet (S), and the CB double clevis mount. Note that a plain PB cylinder drifts if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the fixed bumper only decelerates near stroke end and does not lock the load, so add an external rod lock if fail-safe holding 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 PB10X25SCB 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 range of 50-800 mm/s.
The CB suffix denotes a double clevis back cover designed for pivoting mount applications. The S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet, allowing you to track stroke position using AirTAC reed or electronic switches mounted along the body.
