Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X30CB
The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X30CB is a double-acting pen-size (mini) air cylinder with a Ø10mm bore and 30mm 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 PB10X30CB
The AirTAC PB10X30CB is a JIS pen-size double-acting single-rod 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 30 mm stroke. The slim SUS304 stainless steel barrel and piston rod provide reliable durability in damp or mildly corrosive workspaces, keeping overall mass low for high-frequency small-part handling.
This specific configuration includes a CB double clevis back cover, allowing the body to pivot smoothly on a pin to accommodate lateral articulation during the stroke. Air connections are made via M5x0.8 ports, and end-of-travel deceleration relies on fixed TPU bumpers rather than adjustable air cushions. Because the rod is a slender 4 mm diameter, it is built for pure coaxial thrust and requires external linear guidance if subjected to off-axis loads.

| 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 PB10X30CB Is Used
PCB Depaneling Jig
Drives a lightweight cutting blade on an electronic assembly line, where the slim 10 mm body saves space and the 39.3 N push force cleanly separates routed circuit boards.
Pouch Flap Tucking
Pivots via its CB double clevis to tuck adhesive flaps on a vertical packaging machine, handling the articulation needed to track a moving conveyor.
Lab Sample Ejector
Pushes small vials out of a centrifuge carousel in clinical automation, utilizing the SUS304 stainless construction to withstand humid laboratory environments.
Is the Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X30CB 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, letting you match the exact force envelope of your jig. For the PB10X30CB, plan for a safe working load of roughly 24 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa theoretical force) to account for seal friction and smooth travel, which equates to lifting approximately 2 kg vertically with a sane 2:1 margin. Confirm your ordering essentials: 10 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, CB double clevis, and no sensor magnet. Note that a plain PB body does not hold its position if air pressure drops or the valve is centered; the piston will drift, so fit 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 PB10X30CB FAQ
At 0.5 MPa this cylinder provides 39.3 N of push and 33 N of pull. 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 a speed range of 50-800 mm/s.
The CB back cover is a double clevis designed for pivoting mounts that require angular alignment. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by fixed TPU bumpers at both ends rather than adjustable air cushions; at high speeds with heavy tooling mass, you should meter-out the exhaust or add an external shock absorber to prevent bottoming out.
