Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X75U
The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X75U 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.

About the Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X75U
The AirTAC PB10X75U is a double-acting JIS pen-size mini cylinder engineered for compact, high-frequency motion. It delivers 39.3 N of push and 33 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a 10 mm bore and a 75 mm stroke. The U suffix indicates a 90-degree perpendicular side air inlet, allowing flat plumbing in tight spaces. Fluid is filtered air, operating pressure is 0.15-0.7 MPa, and speed ranges 50-800 mm/s.
Built with a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod and barrel, this unit resists damp or mildly corrosive environments. The 4 mm rod features an M8x1.0 rod-end thread for secure load coupling. It relies on a fixed TPU bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion. Plan for a safe working load of roughly 24 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa theoretical force) to account for seal friction and 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.
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 PB10X75U Is Used
PCB Depaneling Router
Pushes a small tooling pin to secure circuit boards during routing operations, where the 39.3 N thrust and flat 90-degree inlet fit neatly into dense electronics fixtures.
Blister Pack Sealing
Actuates a low-force pressing arm to close blister packaging, using the fixed TPU bumper to soften the final few millimeters of travel without complex adjustments.
Micro-Dispenser Positioning
Indexes a fluid dispensing nozzle over a 75 mm range in a compact lab automation cell, benefiting from the SUS304 build in occasionally humid environments.
Is the Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X75U the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 10 mm bore actuator, consider stepping down to the 6 mm bore if your payload is very light, which provides 14.2 N push at 0.5 MPa. If you need more thrust, stepping up to the 12 mm bore yields 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa. This PB10X75U configuration includes standard 75 mm stroke, M5x0.8 ports, and no sensor magnet. To finalize your order, confirm the 10 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, U side inlet, and your required mounting bracket.
Because the 4 mm rod is designed strictly for coaxial thrust, avoid side loads and add an external linear bearing if guiding off-axis masses over the 75 mm travel. Note that this cylinder does not hold its position if air pressure drops or the valve is centered; the piston will drift. For fail-safe load holding, integrate an external stop or rod lock.
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 PB10X75U FAQ
This double-acting cylinder has a 10 mm bore with an M5x0.8 air port. The theoretical force is 39.3 N push and 33 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 55 N push and 46.2 N pull at the maximum 0.7 MPa operating pressure.
No, the piston will drift if air is lost or the valve is centered, as the fixed TPU bumper only decelerates the rod near the stroke end and does not act as a lock. For vertical loads, you should plan for a safe working capacity of about 2 kg with a 2:1 margin at 0.5 MPa, and use an external rod lock to hold position.
