Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X30RLB
The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X30RLB 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 PB10X30RLB
The AirTAC PB10X30RLB is a double-acting JIS pen-size mini cylinder engineered for high-frequency small-part 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. At 0.5 MPa it generates 39.3 N of push force and 33 N of pull force, peaking at 55 N push under the 0.7 MPa maximum operating pressure.
This configuration includes an R axial air inlet for in-line plumbing and an LB mounting bracket for straightforward attachment to your fixture. The Ø6-Ø16 bore range utilizes a fixed TPU bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke, and the M5x0.8 port ensures efficient air flow. Because there is no built-in magnet on this variant, position sensing is not supported.

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 PB10X30RLB Is Used
PCB Pick & Place
Drives small vacuum pickups on surface mount assembly machinery, utilizing the slim 10mm body to fit densely populated tooling arrays.
Blister Pack Sealing
Actuates lightweight sealing jaws in medical packaging lines, where the SUS304 construction withstands routine washdowns.
Lab Dispenser Routing
Indexes fluid dispensing valves on automated analytical equipment, providing precise 30mm strokes without adding excessive mass.
Is the Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X30RLB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, plan for a safe working load of roughly 24 N, which accounts for seal friction by loading the cylinder to about 60% of its 39.3 N theoretical push at 0.5 MPa. For vertical lifts, this equates to raising about 2 kg safely with a 2:1 margin. If your application requires less force, stepping down to the Ø6 bore yields 14.2 N push at 0.5 MPa; if you need more power, the Ø12 bore provides 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa. Keep in mind the thin Ø4 mm piston rod is designed strictly for coaxial thrust, so over long strokes or off-axis loads you should add an external guide or linear bearing to prevent side-load damage.
To confirm your ordering essentials: this is a 10 mm bore, 30 mm stroke cylinder with an M5x0.8 port, no sensor magnet, an R axial back cover inlet, and an LB mounting bracket. Note that a plain PB-type cylinder does not hold its load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, as the piston will drift and the bumper only decelerates near the stroke end; for fail-safe holding you must specify an external stop or rod lock.
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 PB10X30RLB FAQ
This double-acting single-rod cylinder delivers a push force of 39.3 N and a pull force of 33 N 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 on filtered air at 0.15-0.7 MPa, runs at speeds of 50-800 mm/s, and uses an M5x0.8 port.
It relies on a fixed TPU bumper at each end to absorb impact over the final few millimeters; this is not an adjustable air cushion or a locking brake. At high speeds with real tooling mass, you should meter-out the exhaust or add an external shock absorber. The unit features an R axial inlet for in-line plumbing and includes an LB bracket for rigid body mounting.
