The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X80CB is a double-acting pen-size (mini) air cylinder with a Ø10mm bore and 80mm 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 PB10X80CB is a JIS double-acting single-rod mini cylinder engineered for compact automation. It delivers 39.3 N of push and 33 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, utilizing an M5x0.8 air port and an M8x1.0 rod-end thread to couple securely to your tooling. The slim SUS304 stainless barrel and piston rod provide excellent durability in damp or mildly corrosive work areas while keeping mass low for high-frequency end-of-arm robotic tasks.
This 80 mm stroke variant features a CB double clevis back cover, allowing the body to pivot smoothly on hinged loads. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed TPU bumper at each end rather than an adjustable air cushion. Because the rod is a slender Ø4 mm, maintaining coaxial thrust is critical; over this 80 mm extension, adding an external linear guide prevents binding under any off-axis load.

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.

Ideal for pushing lightweight molded plastic parts out of an injection mold cavity on a 80 mm stroke, where the 2 kg safe lift capacity easily handles small components.
The CB double clevis allows the cylinder to swing a sorting flap on a packaging conveyor, accurately routing small cartons without taking up valuable frame width.
The SUS304 stainless construction withstands wipe-down chemicals in clinical analyzers, driving a 80 mm stroke to present test tubes to a scanning head.
When sizing this unit, plan for a safe working load of roughly 24 N (about 60 percent of the 39.3 N theoretical push at 0.5 MPa) to account for seal friction and smooth travel. In vertical lift terms, this equates to lifting about 2 kg safely with a 2:1 margin. If your application requires less force, stepping down to the Ø6 bore provides 14.2 N of push, while moving up to the Ø12 bore yields 56.5 N at the same 0.5 MPa pressure.
Confirm your ordering essentials: 10 mm bore, 80 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, CB double clevis back cover, and no sensor magnet. Note that a standard PB body does not hold its position if air pressure drops or the valve is centered—the piston will drift. For fail-safe load holding, an external rod lock or mechanical stop must be installed.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 39.3 N and the pull force is 33 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, the push force is 55 N and the pull force is 46.2 N. The operating pressure range is 0.15-0.7 MPa, with a speed of 50-800 mm/s.
No, end-of-stroke deceleration relies on a fixed, non-adjustable TPU bumper at each end, not an air cushion. If moving high mass at speed, you should meter-out the exhaust or add an external shock absorber. Additionally, the cylinder will not hold a load if air is lost; it requires an external rod lock for fail-safe positioning.
