Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X5SR
The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X5SR is a double-acting pen-size (mini) air cylinder with a Ø10mm bore and 5mm 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 PB10X5SR
The AirTAC PB10X5SR 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, offering excellent durability in damp or mildly corrosive environments. Delivering 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this 10 mm bore actuator uses an M5x0.8 port and an M8x1.0 rod-end thread for straightforward load coupling.
Equipped with a built-in piston magnet (-S), it supports AirTAC reed or electronic switches for precise position sensing. The R axial inlet keeps plumbing perfectly in-line, while the fixed TPU bumper at each end decelerates the piston over the last few millimeters of travel. Because the rod is a slender Ø4 mm, maintaining coaxial thrust is critical to prevent side-load wear.

| Stroke | 5 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 PB10X5SR Is Used
Pick-and-Place Ejector
Short 5 mm stroke rapidly ejects small electronic components from a test socket without stressing the PCB surface.
Film Clamping Jaw
Provides a compact 39.3 N pinch force to hold packaging film taut during a sealing cycle on a vertical form-fill machine.
Lab Dispenser Valve
Penetrates a rubber septum to actuate a micro-dispense valve, where the SUS304 build resists chemical vapors.
Is the Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X5SR the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, plan for a safe working load of roughly 24 N, which accounts for seal friction at 0.5 MPa. If you need to step down, the Ø6 bore offers 14.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa; stepping up to the Ø12 bore yields 56.5 N. For vertical lifts, the 39.3 N output at 0.5 MPa can raise about 2 kg with a sensible 2:1 safety margin. Note that a plain PB body does not hold position if air pressure drops, so an external rod lock is required for fail-safe holding. Confirm your ordering essentials: 10 mm bore, 5 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, S magnet, and R axial inlet.
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 PB10X5SR 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 is 55 N and the pull is 46.2 N. The operating pressure range is 0.15-0.7 MPa, with a speed of 50-800 mm/s.
No, a plain PB cylinder will drift if air is lost or the valve is centered. The fixed TPU bumper only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and does not act as a brake. You must add an external stop or rod lock for fail-safe load holding.
