Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X60CB
The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X60CB is a double-acting pen-size (mini) air cylinder with a Ø10mm bore and 60mm 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 PB10X60CB
The AirTAC PB10X60CB is a JIS pen-size double-acting single-rod mini cylinder engineered for high-frequency small-part motion. It features a slim SUS304 stainless steel barrel and piston rod, offering excellent durability in damp or mildly corrosive environments while saving valuable space and payload on light end-of-arm tooling. Delivering 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it is a compact powerhouse for precise assembly tasks.
This 10 mm bore, 60 mm stroke variant integrates a CB double clevis back cover, allowing the body to pivot smoothly with the load. The unit ports via M5x0.8 connections and relies on a fixed TPU bumper at each end to decelerate the piston. Because the rod is a slender Ø4 mm threaded M8x1.0, maintaining coaxial alignment is critical to prevent side-load wear.

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 PB10X60CB Is Used
PCB Pick-and-Place
Drives lightweight suction grippers in electronics assembly lines, utilizing the 39.3 N push force to lift delicate circuit boards without requiring bulky actuators.
Pouch Sealing Jig
Pivots via the CB double clevis to apply precise clamping pressure on small flexible packaging, with the fixed TPU bumpers absorbing the 60 mm stroke impact.
Lab Sample Handling
Moves small vials in diagnostic equipment where the SUS304 stainless build resists humidity and chemical wipes, ensuring reliable high-speed cycling.
Is the Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X60CB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, plan for a safe working load of about 24 N, which represents roughly 60% of the 39.3 N theoretical push at 0.5 MPa to account for seal friction. For vertical lifts, this translates to safely raising around 2 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. If you need less force, 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.
Remember that a plain PB cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, as the fixed TPU 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: 10 mm bore, 60 mm 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 PB10X60CB FAQ
This 10 mm bore double-acting cylinder generates 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 pressure limit. It operates at speeds between 50-800 mm/s across a 0.15-0.7 MPa pressure range.
No, a plain PB cylinder will drift downward if air is lost or the valve is centered. The fixed TPU bumper only decelerates the piston over the last few millimeters of travel and does not function as a locking brake. You must add an external rod lock or mechanical stop to hold a load safely.
