Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X65U
The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X65U 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.

About the Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X65U
The AirTAC PB10X65U is a double-acting JIS pen-size mini cylinder engineered for high-frequency small-part motion. It features a slim SUS304 stainless steel round barrel and piston rod, offering excellent durability in damp or mildly corrosive work areas while saving valuable space and payload on light end-of-arm tooling. Delivering 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it uses an M5x0.8 port and a 4 mm rod with an M8x1.0 rod-end thread.
This specific configuration includes a U-type back cover, providing a 90-degree perpendicular air inlet for flat plumbing in confined machinery. The barrel and covers are screwed together, and end-of-stroke deceleration relies on a fixed TPU bumper at each end rather than an adjustable air cushion. Because the rod is only 4 mm thick, it is built for coaxial thrust and requires an external guide if subjected to off-axis loads over its 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.
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 PB10X65U Is Used
PCB Depaneling Ejector
Uses the 39.3 N extend force to push singulated circuit boards out of a routing fixture, where the slim 10 mm barrel fits neatly between dense tooling.
Blister Pack Flap Tucking
Actuates a small folding arm at 50-800 mm/s to tuck cardboard flaps on a packaging line, with the U-type 90-degree inlet keeping hoses flush against the machine frame.
Lab Sample Diverting
Pivots a small guide chute to route vials into testing carousels, benefiting from the SUS304 stainless construction in humid laboratory environments.
Is the Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X65U the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, plan for a safe working load of about 24 N, which is roughly 60 percent of the 39.3 N theoretical push at 0.5 MPa, ensuring smooth travel after accounting for seal friction. For vertical lifts, this equates to raising approximately 2 kg safely with a 2:1 margin. If your application requires less force, the neighbouring Ø6 bore provides 14.2 N push at 0.5 MPa; stepping up to the Ø12 bore yields 56.5 N.
Remember that a plain double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered, as the fixed TPU bumper only decelerates near stroke end rather than locking the load. For fail-safe holding, an external stop or rod lock is required. To order, confirm the 10 mm bore, 65 mm stroke, M5x0.8 porting, the U 90-degree side inlet, and your preferred mounting bracket.
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 PB10X65U FAQ
This double-acting cylinder generates a push force of 39.3 N and a pull force of 33.0 N at 0.5 MPa. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, the push force is 55.0 N and the pull force is 46.2 N. It operates on filtered air at 0.15-0.7 MPa, runs at speeds of 50-800 mm/s, and has a proof pressure of 1.2 MPa.
It uses a fixed TPU bumper at each end to decelerate the piston over the last few millimeters, which is not field-adjustable; for high mass or speed, meter-out the exhaust or add an external shock absorber. Additionally, it does not hold its position if air pressure is lost, so an external rod lock is needed for fail-safe load holding.
