Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X50CB
The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X50CB is a double-acting pen-size (mini) air cylinder with a Ø10mm bore and 50mm 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 PB10X50CB
The AirTAC PB10X50CB is a JIS double-acting pen-size mini cylinder featuring a 10mm bore and 50mm stroke. It delivers 39.3 N of push and 33 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, operating via an M5x0.8 port and an M8x1.0 rod-end thread. The slim SUS304 stainless barrel and screwed-in covers provide excellent durability in damp or mildly corrosive work areas while saving valuable space on light end-of-arm tooling.
This specific configuration includes a CB double clevis back cover, allowing the body to pivot smoothly on articulated loads. It relies on a fixed TPU bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke, rather than an adjustable air cushion. Because the rod is a slender 4 mm diameter, maintaining coaxial thrust is critical to prevent binding over the 50 mm travel.

| Rod diameter | Ø4 mm |
| Stroke | 50 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 PB10X50CB Is Used
PCB Depaneling Jig
Actuates a small cutting blade on a printed circuit board routing fixture, where the 39.3 N push force cleanly shears flex material without stressing adjacent components.
Pouch Sealing Arm
Pivots a lightweight heat-sealing bar down onto medical pouches, utilizing the CB double clevis to accommodate the angular motion of the packaging head.
Lab Sample Sorter
Pushes small vials into a testing carousel on an automated analyzer, benefiting from the SUS304 stainless build to resist frequent chemical wipe-downs.
Is the Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X50CB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this unit, note that the 10mm bore provides 39.3 N push at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, stepping down to the 6mm bore yields 14.2 N, while stepping up to the 12mm bore provides 56.5 N. Plan for a safe working load of roughly 24 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa theoretical force) to account for seal friction and smooth travel, which equates to lifting about 2 kg vertically with a sane 2:1 margin.
Remember that a plain PB cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, as the bumper only decelerates near stroke end rather than locking the load; an external rod lock is required for fail-safe holding. To order, confirm your essential specs: 10mm bore, 50mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, no sensor magnet, and the CB double clevis mount.
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 PB10X50CB FAQ
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 at 0.15-0.7 MPa with a speed range of 50-800 mm/s.
The CB back cover is a double clevis designed for pivoting mounts. Deceleration is handled by a fixed TPU bumper at each end, which only absorbs the last few millimeters of travel. For high-speed or heavy tooling mass, you should meter-out the exhaust or add an external shock absorber, as the bumper is not adjustable.
