The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X60SR 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.
The AirTAC PB10X60SR is a JIS pen-size double-acting mini cylinder engineered for compact, high-frequency motion. It features a 10mm bore and a 60mm stroke, delivering a theoretical push of 39.3 N and pull of 33.0 N at 0.5 MPa. The SUS304 stainless steel barrel and piston rod provide reliable durability in damp or mildly corrosive environments, while the slim round profile saves valuable space on tight jigs and end-of-arm robotic tooling.
This specific configuration includes an R axial air inlet for straightforward in-line plumbing and an integrated S magnet for position sensing. The M5x0.8 port and M8x1.0 rod-end thread are fixed by the 10mm bore. To manage end-of-stroke energy, the body incorporates a fixed TPU bumper at each end rather than an adjustable air cushion. Operating speed ranges from 50-800 mm/s at a maximum pressure of 0.7 MPa.

| 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.

Actuates a small cutting blade on an electronics assembly line, utilizing the 39.3 N push force and slim pen-size profile to fit between dense conveyor rails.
Tucks minor flaps on a compact packaging machine, where the integrated S magnet confirms stroke completion for the controller via a reed or electronic switch.
Drives a precision micro-valve for chemical dosing in wet laboratory environments, benefiting from the SUS304 stainless construction that resists ambient moisture.
When sizing this actuator, plan for a safe working load of about 24 N, which is roughly 60% of the 39.3 N theoretical push at 0.5 MPa, ensuring smooth travel against seal friction. For vertical lifts, this equates to raising approximately 2 kg with a sane 2:1 safety margin. If you need slightly less force, the neighbouring Ø6 bore provides 14.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa; stepping up to the Ø12 bore yields 56.5 N. Remember that a plain double-acting cylinder drifts if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, so an external rod lock is required for fail-safe holding.
The Ø4 mm piston rod is designed strictly for coaxial thrust. Over this 60mm stroke, any off-axis side load risks bending the slender rod, so an external linear guide should be fitted for heavy or misaligned tooling. To order, confirm the 10mm bore, 60mm stroke, R axial inlet, S magnet for reed or electronic switches, and your choice of LB, FA, or CJ mounting bracket.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 39.3 N and the pull force is 33.0 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, the push is 55.0 N and the pull is 46.2 N. The operating pressure range is 0.15-0.7 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.2 MPa. The standard speed range is 50-800 mm/s.
It uses a fixed TPU bumper at each end to decelerate the piston over the last few millimeters; this is not an adjustable air cushion or a locking brake. For high-speed cycles with real tooling mass, meter-out the exhaust or add an external shock absorber. The built-in S magnet allows AirTAC reed or electronic switches to read the piston position.
