Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X45SR
The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X45SR 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 PB10X45SR
The AirTAC PB10X45SR 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 piston rod, providing excellent durability in damp or mildly corrosive work areas. Delivering 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it operates via an R axial air inlet for straightforward in-line plumbing.
This 10 mm bore unit uses an M5x0.8 port and an M8x1.0 rod-end thread to couple securely to your payload. Because it includes the S option, a built-in piston magnet enables position detection using AirTAC reed or electronic switches. The barrel integrates a fixed TPU bumper at each end to decelerate motion near stroke limits, though it is not adjustable or a locking mechanism.

| 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 |

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 PB10X45SR Is Used
PCB Depaneling Jig
Actuates a small cutting blade or clamping finger in a tight electronics assembly fixture, utilizing the 39.3 N push force and slim stainless body to fit within dense router arrays.
Label Applicator Tamp
Provides a fast 45 mm extension to tamp labels onto small cartons, where the built-in S magnet confirms stroke end for AirTAC electronic switches to sequence the glue cycle.
Lab Sample Ejector
Ejects lightweight plastic vials from a testing carousel, relying on the SUS304 construction to withstand humid laboratory environments without corroding.
Is the Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X45SR the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, stepping down to the Ø6 bore yields 14.2 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the Ø12 bore provides 56.5 N. For the PB10X45SR, plan for a safe working load of roughly 24 N (about 60% of the 39.3 N theoretical figure) to account for seal friction and smooth travel. This equates to lifting about 2 kg vertically with a sane 2:1 margin.
Note that a plain body like this does not hold its position if air pressure drops or the valve is centred; the piston will drift, so an external stop or rod lock is required for fail-safe holding. Confirm your ordering essentials: 10 mm bore, 45 mm stroke, M5x0.8 porting, S magnet, and the R axial back cover.
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 PB10X45SR FAQ
The 10 mm bore double-acting rod yields 39.3 N push and 33 N pull at 0.5 MPa, reaching maximums of 55 N push and 46.2 N pull at the 0.7 MPa family limit. It operates between 0.15-0.7 MPa at speeds of 50-800 mm/s.
It relies on a fixed, non-adjustable TPU bumper at each end to decelerate the last few millimeters of travel; for high mass or rapid cycles, add an external shock absorber. It does not hold position on air loss, so an external rod lock is needed for fail-safe vertical loads.
