The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X65SR 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 PB10X65SR is a double-acting JIS pen-size mini cylinder engineered for compact, high-frequency small-part motion. It features a slim SUS304 stainless steel barrel and piston rod, providing excellent durability in damp or mildly corrosive environments without adding unnecessary bulk to your end-of-arm tooling. Delivering 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it operates via an M5x0.8 port and an R axial inlet for straightforward in-line plumbing.
This 10 mm bore unit includes a built-in piston magnet (S code) for position detection using AirTAC reed or electronic switches. Travel is capped by a fixed TPU bumper at each end rather than an adjustable air cushion, meaning it decelerates the last few millimeters of travel but is not a locking device. Because the piston rod is a slender 4 mm diameter, you should maintain coaxial thrust and utilize an external guide if handling off-axis loads over this 65 mm stroke.

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.

Drives lightweight suction grippers in electronics assembly lines, using the S-magnet for precise end-of-stroke confirmation during chip placement.
Pushes small pharmaceutical blister packs into loading chutes, where the SUS304 body withstands routine washdowns in cleanroom packaging facilities.
Actuates a diverter arm on a mini conveyor to reject defective plastic fasteners, relying on the fixed TPU bumper to absorb impacts at high cycling speeds.
When sizing this model, plan for a safe working load of roughly 24 N, which represents about 60% of the 39.3 N theoretical push at 0.5 MPa, ensuring smooth travel against seal friction. If you need to step down, the Ø6 bore provides 14.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa; stepping up to the Ø12 bore yields 56.5 N. A practical vertical lift capacity is about 2 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. To confirm your ordering essentials: specify the 10 mm bore, 65 mm stroke, M5x0.8 porting, the S magnet, and the R axial back cover. Note that a plain PB body does not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, so an external rod lock is required for fail-safe holding.
Quick checklist
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, it provides 55 N of push and 46.2 N of pull. The operating pressure range is 0.15-0.7 MPa, with a speed of 50-800 mm/s.
No, the piston will drift if air is lost or the valve is centered, as the fixed TPU bumper only decelerates the rod near stroke end and does not act as a brake. For vertical loads or fail-safe holding, you must add an external stop or rod lock. Additionally, the S code means it accepts AirTAC reed or electronic switches.
