The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X35U 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 PB10X35U is a double-acting JIS pen-size mini cylinder engineered for compact, high-frequency small-part motion. It features a slim SUS304 stainless steel barrel and piston rod that naturally shrugs off damp or mildly corrosive industrial environments. Delivering 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it integrates a 90-degree perpendicular side air inlet for flat plumbing against machine frames.
This 10 mm bore unit uses an M5x0.8 port and a 4 mm rod with an M8x1.0 rod-end thread. It relies on fixed TPU bumpers at both ends to decelerate the last few millimeters of travel. Because the bumper is not adjustable, high-speed cycles with real tooling mass require metering out the exhaust or adding an external shock absorber.

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.

Drives a small cutting blade or router in a tight electronics assembly cell where the 2 kg vertical lift capacity handles light tooling and the 90-degree U inlet keeps plumbing flush against the machine guard.
Cycles a small heat seal head at high frequency, utilizing the fixed TPU bumpers to absorb end-of-stroke impact while the SUS304 barrel withstands washdown procedures in food packaging lines.
Ejects small plastic components from an injection mold cavity, where the slim pen-size body saves valuable space on the end-of-arm tooling and the 39.3 N push force cleanly knocks parts free.
When sizing this actuator, plan for a safe working load of roughly 24 N, which is about 60% of the 39.3 N theoretical push at 0.5 MPa, ensuring smooth travel against seal friction. For vertical lifts, this equates to hoisting about 2 kg safely with a 2:1 margin. If your application requires less force, the neighboring Ø6 bore provides 14.2 N push at 0.5 MPa; if you need more thrust, stepping up to the Ø12 bore yields 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa.
Remember that a plain double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered, so an external stop or rod lock is required to hold a load securely. To order, confirm the 10 mm bore, 35 mm stroke, M5x0.8 porting, the U 90-degree side inlet, and your mounting bracket choice (LB, FA, or CJ).
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder generates 39.3 N push and 33 N pull at 0.5 MPa, with maximums of 55 N push and 46.2 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The operating pressure ranges from 0.15 to 0.7 MPa, the proof pressure is 1.2 MPa, and the operational speed spans 50 to 800 mm/s.
No, a plain PB-type 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. You must add an external rod lock or mechanical stop to safely hold a vertical load without live pressure.
