The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X30SCBLB 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.
The AirTAC PB10X30SCBLB is a double-acting JIS pen-size mini cylinder engineered for compact automation. It delivers 39.3 N of push and 33 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a 4 mm stainless steel piston rod with an M8x1.0 rod-end thread. The slim SUS304 round barrel saves valuable space and payload on light end-of-arm tooling where larger bodies cannot fit.
This specific configuration includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) for position sensing, a CB double clevis back cover for pivoting loads, and an LB mounting bracket. Air enters via M5x0.8 ports, driving the piston at 50-800 mm/s. Impact absorption relies on fixed TPU bumpers at both ends, which decelerate travel over the final few millimeters rather than providing a lock.

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.

Provides the precise 39.3 N extension force needed to push separator blades through assembled circuit boards without stressing delicate traces.
Utilizes the CB double clevis to pivot smoothly as it deflects small cartons on a flat conveyor belt, fitting neatly into tight transfer gaps.
Leverages the SUS304 stainless body to resist humidity in clinical environments while ejecting lightweight test tubes from analysis carousels.
When sizing this actuator, plan for a safe working load of about 24 N (roughly 60% of the 39.3 N theoretical push at 0.5 MPa) to account for seal friction and smooth travel. This equates to lifting about 2 kg vertically with a sane 2:1 margin. If you need less force, the Ø6 bore provides 14.2 N push at 0.5 MPa; stepping up to the Ø12 bore yields 56.5 N push. Remember that the thin 4 mm rod is designed 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.
This model drifts if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, as the fixed bumper only decelerates the stroke end rather than locking the piston. For fail-safe holding, an external stop or rod lock is required. Confirm your ordering essentials: 10 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, S magnet, CB double clevis, and LB bracket.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa this 10 mm bore cylinder pushes with 39.3 N and pulls with 33.0 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, push increases to 55.0 N and pull to 46.2 N. It operates on filtered air between 0.15-0.7 MPa at speeds of 50-800 mm/s.
No, a plain PB cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered. The fixed TPU bumpers only decelerate the piston near the stroke end; they do not function as a brake. You must add an external rod lock or mechanical stop to hold a load safely.
