Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X60SULB
The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X60SULB 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 PB10X60SULB
The AirTAC PB10X60SULB is a JIS pen-size double-acting single-rod mini cylinder engineered for compact, high-frequency motion. It generates 39.3 N of push and 33 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a 4 mm stainless steel piston rod with an M8x1.0 rod-end thread. The slim SUS304 round barrel minimizes mass on end-of-arm tooling, while the integrated magnet enables position feedback. Air connects via an M5x0.8 port.
This specific configuration includes a U-type back cover featuring a 90-degree perpendicular air inlet for flat plumbing alongside an LB mounting bracket for secure body attachment. End-of-stroke deceleration relies on a fixed TPU bumper at each end rather than an adjustable air cushion. Plan for a safe working load of roughly 24 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa push force) to account for seal friction and smooth travel.

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 PB10X60SULB Is Used
PCB Depaneling Jig
Drives a small cutting blade or clamping finger in a tight electronics assembly cell, using the 39.3 N push force to snap apart routed circuit boards without stressing adjacent components.
Pouch Flap Folder
Tucks carton flaps on a compact packaging conveyor where vertical space is restricted, leveraging the 90-degree side inlet to keep air plumbing flush against the machine frame.
Pick-and-Place Ejector
Acts as a lightweight parts ejector on an end-of-arm tool, where the built-in magnet confirms stroke completion for the controller before the robotic arm moves to the drop zone.
Is the Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X60SULB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 10 mm bore actuator, consider stepping down to the 6 mm bore if your layout is extremely tight, which provides 14.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa. If your payload requires more authority, stepping up to the 12 mm bore yields 56.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa. This PB10X60SULB variant features a 60 mm stroke, an integrated sensor magnet, a 90-degree side inlet, and an LB mount. Note that a standard PB body does not hold its position if air pressure drops or the valve is centered; the piston will drift, and the fixed bumper only decelerates it near the stroke end. For fail-safe holding, an external rod lock or mechanical stop is required.
Because the 4 mm rod is relatively slender and meant purely for coaxial thrust, avoid applying side loads. Over long strokes or when moving real tooling mass, add an external linear bearing to prevent rod bending. Additionally, the fixed TPU bumper only absorbs energy in the last few millimeters of travel; at high cycling speeds, meter-out the exhaust or install an external shock absorber to prevent bottoming out.
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 PB10X60SULB FAQ
This double-acting cylinder delivers a push of 39.3 N and a pull of 33 N at 0.5 MPa. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, the push is 55 N and the pull is 46.2 N. It operates on filtered air at 0.15-0.7 MPa, runs at speeds from 50 to 800 mm/s, and has a proof pressure of 1.2 MPa.
No, a plain PB-type cylinder does not lock its position on air loss or valve centering; the piston will drift. The fixed TPU bumpers only decelerate the rod near the stroke ends and do not act as a brake. For vertical loads or fail-safe holding, you must add an external rod lock or mechanical stop.
