The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X35SCB is a double-acting pen-size (mini) air cylinder with a Ø10mm bore and 35mm 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 PB10X35SCB is a JIS double-acting single-rod pen-size mini cylinder engineered for compact, high-frequency motion. It delivers a theoretical push of 39.3 N and pull of 33 N at 0.5 MPa, driven through an M5x0.8 air port. The slim SUS304 stainless round barrel and screwed-in covers provide excellent durability in damp or mildly corrosive environments while saving critical space on light end-of-arm tooling.
This specific configuration includes a built-in piston magnet (S) for position detection using AirTAC reed or electronic switches, and a CB double clevis back cover for pivoting loads. Travel is capped by a fixed TPU bumper at each end that absorbs impact over the final few millimeters. Because the 4 mm rod is designed strictly for coaxial thrust, adding an external guide is recommended if side loads are present.

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.

Actuates a small cutting blade or clamping finger in tight electronics assembly cells where the slim 10 mm barrel prevents collision with adjacent tooling.
Pushes carton flaps or thin packaging films at high speed, relying on the fixed TPU bumper to soften the stroke end without requiring bulky external cushions.
Pivots a small guide chute on a fluid analysis carousel using the CB double clevis, with the S magnet triggering a solid-state switch to confirm gate position.
When sizing this actuator, plan for a safe working load of roughly 24 N at 0.5 MPa, which accounts for seal friction and smooth travel. For vertical lifting, this equates to handling a part mass of about 2 kg with a standard 2:1 safety margin. If your application requires slightly less force, the adjacent Ø6 bore provides 14.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa; stepping up to the Ø12 bore yields 56.5 N. Note that a standard PB body drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, so an external rod lock is necessary for fail-safe holding.
Confirm your ordering essentials to match this exact unit: 10 mm bore, 35 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, S magnet for sensing, and CB double clevis mounting. The maximum standard stroke available for this bore is 200 mm, and operating pressure must stay between 0.15 and 0.7 MPa.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa this 10 mm bore cylinder exerts 39.3 N of push (extend) and 33 N of pull (retract). At the maximum operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, the push is 55 N and the pull is 46.2 N. The operating pressure range is 0.15-0.7 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.2 MPa and a speed range of 50-800 mm/s.
The CB back cover provides a double clevis joint that allows the cylinder to pivot smoothly with the load path. End-of-stroke energy is managed by a fixed TPU bumper at each end, which decelerates the piston over the final few millimeters. It is not an adjustable air cushion or a locking device, so high-speed pivoting masses may require metering the exhaust or adding an external shock absorber.
