Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X45R
The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X45R is a double-acting pen-size (mini) air cylinder with a Ø10mm bore and 45mm 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 PB10X45R
The AirTAC PB10X45R is a JIS pen-size double-acting single-rod mini cylinder engineered for tight jigs and light end-of-arm tooling. It features a slim SUS304 stainless steel barrel and a 4mm piston rod, providing reliable resistance in damp or mildly corrosive work areas. Delivering 39.3N of push force at 0.5MPa, it uses an M5x0.8 port and an R axial inlet for straightforward in-line plumbing.
This 10mm bore unit travels a 45mm stroke and relies on a fixed TPU bumper at each end to decelerate the piston over its final few millimeters. Because the bumper is not adjustable, high-speed cycles with real tooling mass may require metering out the exhaust or adding an external shock absorber. Plan for a safe working load of roughly 24N, which is about 60 percent of the theoretical 0.5MPa rating, to account for seal friction.

| Rod diameter | Ø4 mm |
| Stroke | 45 mm |
| Acting type | Double acting |
| Port size | M5×0.8 |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.15 – 0.7 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.2 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 50 – 800 mm/s |
| Cushion | Elastic bumper (both ends) |

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 PB10X45R Is Used
PCB Depaneling Jig
Actuates a small cutting blade or clamping finger in a compact electronics assembly fixture, utilizing the 39.3N push force to cleanly separate circuit boards without stressing surrounding components.
Carton Flap Folder
Tucks minor flaps on small primary packaging lines where space is restricted, using the axial R inlet to keep pneumatic plumbing flat against the machine frame.
Lab Sample Dispenser
Drives a tiny pipette or valve plunger for fluid metering in analytical instruments, benefiting from the SUS304 construction to withstand humid laboratory environments.
Is the Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X45R the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 10mm bore model, consider stepping down to the 6mm bore for lighter duties, which provides 14.2N of push at 0.5MPa, or moving up to the 12mm bore for heavier tasks that demand 56.5N. The thin 4mm rod is built strictly for coaxial thrust, so if your application involves off-axis loads or longer extensions, adding an external linear bearing prevents side-load damage. A plain PB body does not hold its position if air pressure drops or the valve centers, meaning the piston will drift, so an external rod lock is necessary for fail-safe holding.
Confirm your ordering essentials to match this configuration: a 10mm bore, 45mm stroke, M5x0.8 porting, no sensor magnet, and the R back cover for axial air entry.
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 PB10X45R FAQ
This double-acting cylinder delivers 39.3N push and 33N pull at 0.5MPa, with maximum forces of 55N push and 46.2N pull at the 0.7MPa operating pressure limit. It runs at speeds of 50-800mm/s and uses an M5x0.8 port.
It uses a fixed TPU bumper at each end that decelerates the piston over the last few millimeters of travel. Because it is not an adjustable air cushion, you should meter-out the exhaust or add an external shock absorber when cycling heavy tooling at high speeds.
