Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X50R
The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X50R 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 PB10X50R
The AirTAC PB10X50R is a JIS pen-size double-acting mini cylinder engineered for compact, high-frequency motion. It features a slim SUS304 stainless steel round barrel and a 4 mm piston rod, delivering 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. The R axial inlet keeps plumbing perfectly in line with the body, making it exceptionally easy to route inside densely packed machinery.
Designed for 50 mm travel, this unit uses an M5x0.8 air port and an M8x1.0 rod-end thread. Rather than an adjustable air cushion, it relies on a fixed TPU bumper at each end to absorb impact. The slim profile saves valuable payload on end-of-arm robotic tooling where a conventional body would be too bulky.

| Series | PB JIS pen-size mini cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø10 mm |
| 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 PB10X50R Is Used
PCB Depaneling Jig
Actuates a small cutting blade on an electronics assembly line, where the 2 kg vertical lift capacity and 50 mm travel cleanly separate routed circuit boards.
Blister Pack Tucking
Tucks film edges on a thermoforming wrapper, using the 24 N safe working load to fold lightweight plastic without crushing the product cavity.
Lab Dispenser Valve
Drives a micro-nozzle for adhesive deposition, benefiting from the axial R inlet for straight plumbing and the SUS304 build to resist humid cleaning environments.
Is the Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X50R the Right Cylinder?
Choosing this 10 mm bore yields 39.3 N push at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, the 6 mm bore provides 14.2 N; stepping up to the 12 mm bore gives 56.5 N. Plan for a safe working load of roughly 24 N (about 60% of the theoretical force) to account for seal friction. This equates to lifting approximately 2 kg vertically with a sane 2:1 safety margin.
Because the 4 mm rod is built for coaxial thrust, avoid side loads and add a linear bearing for off-axis guidance. Note that a standard cylinder drifts when air is lost, so install an external rod lock if the mechanism must hold position. To order, confirm the 50 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, R axial inlet, and no magnet.
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 PB10X50R FAQ
This double-acting cylinder generates 39.3 N push and 33 N pull at 0.5 MPa. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, it yields 55 N push and 46.2 N pull. It operates between 0.15-0.7 MPa at speeds of 50-800 mm/s.
It uses a fixed TPU bumper at each end that decelerates the piston over the last few millimeters. It is not an adjustable air cushion, so for high mass you should meter-out the exhaust. The cylinder does not hold position on air loss; an external stop is required for fail-safe load holding.
