Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X80R
The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X80R 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.

About the Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X80R
The AirTAC PB10X80R is a JIS pen-size double-acting mini cylinder engineered for compact, high-frequency motion. It features a 10mm bore and an 80mm stroke, delivering 39.3N of push force and 33N of pull force at 0.5MPa. The slim SUS304 stainless barrel and piston rod provide excellent durability in damp or mildly corrosive environments, while keeping weight low for end-of-arm tooling. This R-suffix variant uses an axial air inlet for straightforward in-line plumbing.
Equipped with a fixed TPU bumper at each end, the cylinder decelerates the piston over its final few millimeters of travel. Because the 4mm rod is designed purely for coaxial thrust, adding an external guide is recommended for this 80mm stroke to prevent side-load damage. The unit operates at 50-800 mm/s with a maximum pressure of 0.7MPa, utilizing an M5x0.8 port.

| Acting type | Double acting |
| Port size | M5×0.8 |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.15 – 0.7 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.2 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 50 – 800 mm/s |

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 PB10X80R Is Used
PCB Depaneling Jig
Actuates a small cutting blade or clamping finger in a tight electronics assembly fixture where the slim 10mm body saves valuable workspace.
Package Sorting Diverter
Pushes lightweight cartons on a packaging line using the 80mm stroke, relying on the fixed TPU bumper to soften the end-of-stroke impact.
Lab Sample Handling
Moves test tubes or vials within a diagnostic analyzer, benefiting from the SUS304 stainless construction to resist humid laboratory conditions.
Is the Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X80R the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 10mm bore actuator, consider stepping down to the 6mm bore for lighter duties, which provides 14.2N of push at 0.5MPa, or moving up to the 12mm bore for heavier tasks, offering 56.5N of push at 0.5MPa. For the PB10X80R specifically, plan for a safe working load of about 24N (roughly 60% of the 0.5MPa theoretical force) to account for seal friction and smooth travel. This equates to lifting about 2kg vertically with a sane 2:1 margin.
Confirm your ordering essentials: 10mm bore, 80mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, no sensor magnet, and the R axial inlet. Note that a plain double-acting cylinder does not hold its position if air pressure drops or the valve is centered; the piston will drift, so an external rod lock or mechanical stop is required for fail-safe load holding.
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 PB10X80R FAQ
At 0.5MPa, the push force is 39.3N and the pull force is 33N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.7MPa, the push force is 55N and the pull force is 46.2N. The cylinder operates at speeds from 50-800 mm/s, with a proof pressure of 1.2MPa.
No, the piston will drift if air is lost or the valve is centered, as the fixed TPU bumper only decelerates the piston near stroke end and does not act as a lock. For vertical loads or fail-safe holding, you must add an external rod lock or mechanical stop.
