Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X45SCB
The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X45SCB 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 PB10X45SCB
The AirTAC PB10X45SCB 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, offering excellent durability in damp or mildly corrosive environments without adding unnecessary bulk to your end-of-arm tooling. Delivering 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it occupies tight spaces where standard bodies cannot fit.
This specific configuration includes a built-in piston magnet (S) for position sensing and a CB double clevis back cover for pivoting loads. Air flows through an M5x0.8 port, driving the 4 mm rod at speeds of 50-800 mm/s. Deceleration is handled by a fixed TPU bumper at each end, which absorbs impact during the final millimeters of travel.

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 PB10X45SCB Is Used
PCB Pick-and-Place
Drives lightweight vacuum grippers in electronics assembly, using the 39.3 N extend force to lift small circuit boards without stressing delicate components.
Pouch Sealing Jig
Actuates a small clamping arm on a vertical form-fill machine, where the CB double clevis accommodates the slight pivoting motion of the packaging film feed.
Lab Sample Diverting
Pushes sample vials into the testing carousel of analytical equipment, capitalizing on the SUS304 stainless construction to resist humid laboratory conditions.
Is the Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X45SCB the Right Cylinder?
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 lifts, this equates to hoisting about 2 kg with a sane 2:1 safety margin. If you need less force, stepping down to the Ø6 bore provides 14.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the Ø12 bore yields 56.5 N. Remember that the thin 4 mm rod is designed for coaxial thrust; over long strokes or off-axis loads, add an external linear bearing to prevent side-loading damage.
Because this is a double-acting cylinder, a plain PB body does not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered—the piston will drift. For fail-safe holding, integrate an external rod lock. To order, confirm your requirements for the 10 mm bore, 45 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, S magnet, CB clevis, and any LB, FA, or CJ mounting brackets.
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 PB10X45SCB FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 39.3 N and the pull force is 33.0 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, the push force is 55.0 N and the pull force 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 S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet compatible with AirTAC reed or electronic switches for precise end-of-stroke detection. Cushioning is provided by a fixed TPU bumper at each end that decelerates the piston over the last few millimeters; it is not adjustable, so for high-speed or heavy tooling mass, meter-out the exhaust or add an external shock absorber.
