The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X65R is a double-acting pen-size (mini) air cylinder with a Ø10mm bore and 65mm 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 PB10X65R is a JIS double-acting single-rod pen-size mini cylinder engineered for compact, high-frequency tasks. It generates 39.3 N of push force and 33 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a 10 mm bore and a 65 mm stroke. The slim SUS304 stainless barrel and screwed-in covers provide excellent durability in damp or mildly corrosive environments while keeping end-of-arm tooling weight to an absolute minimum.
This specific configuration features an R axial air inlet for in-line plumbing and an M5x0.8 port. Deceleration is handled by a fixed TPU bumper at each end, which absorbs impact over the final few millimeters of travel. Because the 4 mm piston rod is designed purely for coaxial thrust, maintaining strict alignment is critical to prevent side-loading and premature wear over the 65 mm extension.

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.

Actuates a small cutting blade or clamping finger in a tight electronics assembly fixture where the slim 10 mm barrel fits neatly between routing lanes.
Tucks minor flaps on small primary packaging lines, using the 65 mm stroke to clear the carton path quickly before the major flaps are sealed.
Drives a micro-dispense nozzle for reagent application, benefiting from the SUS304 build in humid laboratory environments and the axial R inlet for flat vertical mounting.
When sizing this actuator, plan for a safe working load of about 24 N, which represents roughly 60% of the 0.5 MPa theoretical push force to account for seal friction. If you are lifting vertically, this equates to handling approximately 2 kg with a sane 2:1 safety margin. If your application requires slightly less force, the Ø6 bore offers 14.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa; stepping up to the Ø12 bore yields 56.5 N. Confirm your ordering essentials: 10 mm bore, 65 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, no sensor magnet, and the R axial inlet. Note that a plain PB cylinder drifts if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, so an external rod lock is required for fail-safe holding.
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 is 55 N and the pull is 46.2 N. The operating pressure range is 0.15-0.7 MPa, with a speed range of 50-800 mm/s.
It uses a fixed TPU bumper at each end that decelerates the piston over the last few millimeters; it is not an adjustable air cushion. If cycling at high speeds with real tooling mass, you should meter-out the exhaust or add an external shock absorber. Additionally, it does not hold its load on air loss, so an external stop is needed for fail-safe positioning.
