Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X30SRLB
The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X30SRLB 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 PB10X30SRLB
The AirTAC PB10X30SRLB is a JIS pen-size double-acting mini cylinder engineered for compact, 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 keeping end-of-arm tooling extremely light. Delivering 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this 10 mm bore unit is built for fast cycling.
This specific configuration includes an R axial air inlet for in-line plumbing and an LB mounting bracket for secure body attachment. Air connections use an M5x0.8 port, while the Ø4 mm rod utilizes an M8x1.0 end thread for load coupling. Because the rod is relatively slender, you must maintain coaxial alignment and avoid side loads to prevent bending. The -S code indicates a built-in piston magnet, allowing position detection via AirTAC reed or electronic switches.

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 PB10X30SRLB Is Used
PCB Pick-and-Place
Drives lightweight vacuum grippers in electronics assembly, using its slim 10mm body to fit between dense circuit board routing lanes.
Label Dispense Stroke
Extends a small peel blade in a packaging line, where the fixed TPU bumper absorbs the high-frequency end-of-stroke impact without requiring adjustment.
Lab Sample Indexing
Pushes microtiter plates into a scanner nest, benefiting from the SUS304 construction that resists humidity and chemical wipe-downs in clinical labs.
Is the Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X30SRLB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, note that the 6 mm bore variant offers 14.2 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger 12 mm bore provides 56.5 N at the same pressure, giving you room to step up or down depending on your exact payload. For the PB10X30SRLB, plan for a safe working load of roughly 24 N (about 60% of the 39.3 N theoretical force at 0.5 MPa) to account for seal friction and smooth travel. In vertical lift scenarios, this equates to lifting about 2 kg safely with a 2:1 margin.
Keep in mind that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered, as the fixed TPU bumper only decelerates the piston near stroke end rather than locking it. If your process requires fail-safe position holding, you will need an external stop or rod lock. To finalize your order, confirm the 10 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, S magnet, R axial inlet, and LB mount.
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 PB10X30SRLB FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 10 mm bore cylinder provides 39.3 N of push (extend) force and 33 N of pull (retract) force. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, the push force is 55 N and the pull force is 46.2 N. The operating pressure range is 0.15-0.7 MPa, with a speed of 50-800 mm/s.
This actuator relies on a fixed TPU bumper at each end to decelerate the piston over the last few millimeters; it is not an adjustable air cushion, so high-speed loads may require external shock absorption or exhaust metering. The S suffix means it has a built-in piston magnet designed to trigger AirTAC reed or electronic solid-state switches for precise end-of-stroke confirmation.
