The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X75SU is a double-acting pen-size (mini) air cylinder with a Ø10mm bore and 75mm 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 PB10X75SU is a double-acting JIS pen-size mini cylinder engineered for compact, high-frequency motion. It delivers a theoretical push of 39.3 N and pull of 33 N at 0.5 MPa, driven through an M5x0.8 air port. The slim SUS304 stainless barrel and piston rod provide excellent durability in damp or mildly corrosive environments while keeping mass low for end-of-arm tooling. This specific configuration includes a built-in piston magnet for position sensing and a U-type back cover featuring a 90-degree side air inlet for flat plumbing in tight spaces.
End-of-travel deceleration relies on a fixed TPU bumper at each end, which absorbs impact over the final few millimeters rather than providing an adjustable air cushion. Because the piston rod is a slender 4 mm diameter, it is designed purely for coaxial thrust; over the 75 mm stroke, any off-axis load warrants an external linear bearing to prevent binding. For practical sizing, plan for a safe working load of about 24 N, which accounts for roughly 60 percent of the theoretical 0.5 MPa push force to overcome seal friction and ensure 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.
| 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 small vacuum grippers on electronics assembly lines, where the slim 10 mm body fits between dense component reels and the magnet confirms part pickup.
Extends a lightweight paddle to tuck minor flaps on small pharmaceutical cartons, benefiting from the 90-degree side inlet to keep plumbing flush against the machine frame.
Moves a micro-valve head over reagent trays in diagnostic equipment, using the SUS304 construction to withstand humid, temperature-controlled chamber environments.
When sizing this 10 mm bore actuator, consider stepping down to the 6 mm bore if your payload is very light, which offers 14.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa. If you need substantially more force, stepping up to the 12 mm bore provides 56.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa. To verify your ordering essentials for this model: confirm the 10 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, the S magnet for reed or electronic switches, and the U-type 90-degree side inlet back cover. Note that a plain PB cylinder does not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the piston will drift, so applications requiring fail-safe load holding must incorporate an external stop or rod lock.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder generates 39.3 N of push and 33 N of pull at 0.5 MPa. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, it produces 55 N of push and 46.2 N of pull. It operates on filtered air at 0.15-0.7 MPa, supports speeds of 50-800 mm/s, and has a proof pressure of 1.2 MPa.
The S code indicates a built-in piston magnet compatible with AirTAC reed or electronic switches for position detection. Instead of an adjustable air cushion, it uses fixed TPU bumpers at both ends to decelerate the piston over the last few millimeters. If moving heavy tooling at high speed, you should meter-out the exhaust or add an external shock absorber to prevent bottoming out.
