Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X50SCBLB
The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X50SCBLB 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 PB10X50SCBLB
The AirTAC PB10X50SCBLB is a JIS pen-size double-acting mini cylinder engineered for compact, high-frequency motion. It features a 10mm bore and 50mm stroke, generating 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. The slim SUS304 stainless round barrel and screwed-in covers provide excellent durability in damp or mildly corrosive environments, while keeping payload low for end-of-arm tooling. This configuration includes an S-coded piston magnet for position sensing, a CB double clevis back cover for pivoting loads, and an LB mounting bracket.
Air enters via the M5x0.8 port, driving the 4mm stainless rod with an M8x1.0 rod-end thread at speeds from 50 to 800 mm/s. Instead of an adjustable air cushion, the ends feature fixed TPU bumpers that decelerate the piston over the final few millimeters. For high-speed cycles carrying real tooling mass, metering out the exhaust or adding an external shock absorber is recommended to prevent the bumper from bottoming out.

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 PB10X50SCBLB Is Used
PCB Pick-and-Place
Drives lightweight vacuum grippers transferring delicate printed circuit boards between inspection stages without overwhelming the fragile components.
Carton Flap Folding
Actuates a small pivoting arm via the CB clevis to tuck minor flaps on small pharmaceutical cartons prior to sealing.
Lab Sample Dispensing
Indexes a dosing nozzle vertically to deposit reagents into microplates, utilizing the LB bracket for stable benchtop framing.
Is the Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X50SCBLB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 10mm bore unit, stepping down to a 6mm bore yields 14.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a 12mm bore provides 56.5 N, allowing you to scale force precisely. For the PB10X50SCBLB specifically, 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. Keep in mind the 4mm rod is built for coaxial thrust; over the 50mm stroke, any off-axis load warrants an external linear bearing to prevent binding.
This model arrives configured with the S magnet for AirTAC reed or electronic switches, a CB double clevis for pivoting mountings, and an LB bracket for rigid attachment. Note that a standard PB body does not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered—the piston will drift, and the bumper only decelerates near the stroke end. If your process requires a fail-safe hold under load, an external rod lock or mechanical stop is necessary.
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 PB10X50SCBLB FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this double-acting cylinder provides 39.3 N of push (extend) and 33 N of pull (retract). At the maximum operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, push increases to 55 N and pull to 46.2 N. The operating pressure range is 0.15-0.7 MPa, with a speed range of 50-800 mm/s.
The CB back cover provides a double clevis joint that accommodates pivoting loads, while the LB bracket allows the body to be bolted directly to a fixed surface. The included S magnet enables position detection using AirTAC reed or electronic switches, though the fixed TPU bumpers are not adjustable for end-of-stroke deceleration.
