The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X60SUFA 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 PB10X60SUFA is a double-acting JIS pen-size mini cylinder engineered for compact automation. It generates 39.3 N of push and 33 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a 10 mm bore and a 60 mm stroke. The SUS304 stainless barrel and rod provide reliable durability in damp or mildly corrosive environments, while the slim profile saves valuable space on tight jigs and end-of-arm robotic tooling.
This configuration includes a built-in piston magnet for position sensing with AirTAC reed or electronic switches. Pneumatic connections use an M5x0.8 port with a U-type 90-degree side inlet for flat plumbing, and an FA mounting bracket secures the body. Travel speed reaches 50-800 mm/s, with fixed TPU bumpers at both ends to absorb impact energy during cycling.

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.
| 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.

Advances a tooling pin on an electronic assembly fixture to secure circuit panels during routing, using the 39.3 N extend force to hold parts firmly without crushing delicate traces.
Pushes lightweight cardboard cartons at 50-800 mm/s onto a secondary packaging line, where the FA bracket provides a rigid mount against lateral belt vibration.
Ejects plastic vials from a centrifuge carousel using the U-type 90-degree side inlet to keep pneumatic plumbing flat against the machine frame in a tight wet environment.
When sizing this actuator, note that a smaller Ø6 bore yields 14.2 N push, whereas stepping up to a Ø12 bore provides 56.5 N at 0.5 MPa. For real-world work, plan for roughly 24 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa to account for friction, which translates to lifting about 2 kg vertically with a safe 2:1 margin. The Ø4 mm rod is built for coaxial thrust, so over the 60 mm stroke or under off-axis loads, add an external linear guide to prevent binding.
This model drifts if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, as the bumpers only decelerate near the end of travel rather than locking the rod. For fail-safe holding, install an external rod lock. To order, confirm the 10 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, M5x0.8 U side inlet, FA bracket, and the S magnet option.
Quick checklist
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 force is 55 N and the pull force is 46.2 N. The operating pressure range is 0.15-0.7 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.2 MPa and a speed range of 50-800 mm/s.
It uses fixed TPU bumpers at both ends that decelerate the piston over the last few millimeters of travel; they are not adjustable, so metering out the exhaust or adding external shock absorbers is recommended for high-speed heavy loads. The S option includes a piston magnet compatible with AirTAC reed or electronic switches for precise end-of-stroke detection.
