The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X35SU 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 PB10X35SU is a double-acting JIS pen-size mini cylinder engineered for compact, high-frequency motion. It features a 10mm bore and a 35mm stroke, generating 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. The slim SUS304 stainless steel barrel and piston rod provide excellent durability in damp or mildly corrosive environments, while keeping weight low for end-of-arm robotic tooling. This specific configuration includes a built-in piston magnet for position sensing and a U-type back cover with a 90-degree side air inlet for flat plumbing in space-constrained jigs.
Air enters via the M5x0.8 port, driving the Ø4 mm rod at speeds from 50 to 800 mm/s. Instead of an adjustable air cushion, the cylinder relies on a fixed TPU bumper at each end to absorb impact during the final few millimeters of travel. Because the rod is relatively slender, it is designed strictly for coaxial thrust; applying lateral side loads risks bending, so an external linear bearing should be added for off-axis guiding.

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.

Ideal for extending small vacuum grippers in electronics assembly, where the 35mm stroke moves delicate components precisely without consuming valuable vertical clearance.
Provides the short, rapid actuation needed to pivot a guide roller on a packaging line, using the 90-degree side inlet to keep pneumatic tubing flush against the machine frame.
Drives a small pusher arm to divert vials in automated medical testing racks, benefiting from the SUS304 stainless construction resisting daily chemical wipe-downs.
When sizing this actuator, plan for a safe working load of about 24 N, which is roughly 60 percent of the 39.3 N theoretical push at 0.5 MPa. This equates to lifting approximately 2 kg vertically with a sane 2:1 safety margin. If your application requires less force, stepping down to the Ø6 bore yields 14.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa. Conversely, if you need more thrust, stepping up to the Ø12 bore provides 56.5 N. Keep in mind that a standard double-acting cylinder like this will drift and lose its position if air pressure drops or the valve is centered; adding an external rod lock is necessary for fail-safe load holding.
To finalize your order, verify the 10mm bore and 35mm stroke, along with the M5x0.8 porting. This PB10X35SU variant includes the S magnet for use with AirTAC reed or electronic switches, and the U back cover for perpendicular 90-degree inlet routing. No additional mounting bracket is included by default, but LB, FA, and CJ brackets are available separately if needed.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 39.3 N and the pull force is 33 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, the push force is 55 N and the pull force is 46.2 N. The cylinder operates between 0.15 and 0.7 MPa, with a speed range of 50-800 mm/s and a proof pressure of 1.2 MPa.
No, the piston will drift if air pressure is lost or the control valve is centered. The fixed TPU bumper only decelerates the rod near the end of its stroke and does not act as a locking brake. An external stop or rod lock must be fitted for fail-safe position holding.
