Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X30SULB
The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X30SULB 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 PB10X30SULB
The AirTAC PB10X30SULB is a double-acting JIS pen-size 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 lightweight. Delivering 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it integrates a built-in magnet for position sensing.
This specific configuration includes a U-type 90-degree perpendicular air inlet for flat plumbing and an LB mounting bracket for secure attachment. The M5x0.8 port and M8x1.0 rod-end thread are set by the 10 mm bore. It relies on a fixed TPU bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke, operating at speeds from 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 PB10X30SULB Is Used
PCB Pick & Place
Drives a small vacuum nozzle on a pick-and-place head to lift electronic components, utilizing the built-in magnet to confirm retracted position before turret rotation.
Blister Pack Sealing
Actuates a lightweight aluminum heat seal head for blister packaging lines, where the SUS304 barrel withstands humid cleanroom conditions and the U inlet keeps plumbing flat.
Sorting Diverter Gate
Pushes small plastic bottles into a reject lane on a conveyor, relying on the LB bracket for a stable pivot base while handling the 30 mm stroke rapidly.
Is the Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X30SULB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, note that stepping down to a 6 mm bore yields 14.2 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a 12 mm bore provides 56.5 N. For real-world work, plan for roughly 24 N of usable thrust at 0.5 MPa to account for seal friction, which translates to lifting about 2 kg vertically with a safe 2:1 margin. The 4 mm rod is designed strictly for coaxial thrust, so if your application involves off-axis loads or longer strokes, adding an external linear bearing is strongly recommended.
Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, as the fixed bumper only decelerates near the end of stroke rather than locking the load. To finalize your order, confirm the 10 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, S magnet for reed or electronic switches, U side inlet, and LB bracket.
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 PB10X30SULB FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 10 mm bore cylinder provides 39.3 N of push force and 33 N of pull force. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, it yields 55 N push and 46.2 N pull. It operates between 0.15-0.7 MPa at speeds of 50-800 mm/s, with a proof pressure of 1.2 MPa.
It uses a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to decelerate the piston over the last few millimeters, which is not adjustable or field-tunable. If cycling heavy tooling at high speeds, you should meter-out the exhaust or add an external shock absorber. It does not hold its load if air is lost; the piston will drift, requiring an external rod lock for fail-safe positioning.
