The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X65SU 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 PB10X65SU is a double-acting JIS pen-size mini cylinder engineered for compact, high-frequency small-part motion. It utilizes a slim SUS304 stainless steel round barrel and piston rod, offering excellent durability in damp or mildly corrosive workspaces. At 0.5 MPa, this 10mm bore generates 39.3 N of push force and 33 N of pull force, peaking at 55 N push under the 0.7 MPa maximum operating pressure. The U option designates a 90-degree perpendicular side air inlet for flat plumbing, while the S code adds a piston magnet for position sensing.
Air enters via an M5x0.8 port, driving the 4mm rod at speeds of 50-800 mm/s. Deceleration relies on a fixed TPU bumper at each end, which absorbs impact over the final few millimeters rather than providing adjustable cushioning. Because the rod is only 4mm thick, it is built for coaxial thrust and requires an external guide if subjected to off-axis loads over its 65mm 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.

Extends a routing tool guide along a 65mm path to separate printed circuit boards, utilizing the slim 10mm body to fit between closely spaced fixture rails.
Cycles a small heat platen for 39.3 N of clamping force at 0.5 MPa, with the U side inlet keeping pneumatic tubing flush against the machine frame.
Actuates a precision fluid nozzle for reagent dosing, relying on the S magnet to trigger an electronic switch at the exact end of stroke.
When sizing this actuator, stepping down to the 6mm bore yields 14.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the 12mm bore provides 56.5 N, letting you match the exact force envelope. For the PB10X65SU specifically, plan for a safe working load of roughly 24 N (about 60 percent of the 0.5 MPa theoretical force) to account for seal friction. Alternatively, it lifts approximately 2 kg vertically with a sane 2:1 safety margin. Confirm your ordering essentials: 10mm bore, 65mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, S magnet, and U 90-degree side inlet. Note that this cylinder will drift and cannot hold a load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; install an external rod lock for fail-safe positioning.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder delivers 39.3 N push and 33 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 55 N push and 46.2 N pull at the 0.7 MPa maximum operating pressure. It operates at speeds between 50-800 mm/s, uses an M5x0.8 port, and features a 4mm rod with an M8x1.0 rod-end thread.
No, the piston will drift if air is lost or the valve is centered. The fixed TPU bumper only decelerates the rod near the stroke end and does not act as a lock. For vertical loads or fail-safe holding, you must add an external stop or rod lock.
