The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X80SCB 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 PB10X80SCB is a double-acting JIS pen-size mini cylinder engineered for compact, high-frequency motion. It features a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod and slim round barrel, providing excellent durability in damp or mildly corrosive environments. Delivering 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it utilizes an M5x0.8 air port and an M8x1.0 rod-end thread for straightforward load coupling.
This 80 mm stroke variant includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) for position sensing via AirTAC reed or electronic switches, alongside a CB double clevis back cover for pivoting loads. The Ø6-Ø16 bore range employs a fixed TPU bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke, and the slim body drastically reduces payload on light end-of-arm tooling.

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.

Drives lightweight suction grippers on electronic assembly lines, utilizing the 80 mm stroke to lift components without overloading the robot arm.
Pivots via the CB clevis to tuck small cardboard flaps during automated packing, relying on the fixed TPU bumper to soften the end of travel.
Actuates a small dosing valve on diagnostic equipment, where the SUS304 build resists humidity and the pen-size profile fits between dense wiring.
When sizing this actuator, note that the 10 mm bore generates 39.3 N push at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less force, stepping down to the 6 mm bore yields 14.2 N, while moving up to the 12 mm bore provides 56.5 N. For practical sizing, plan for a safe working load of roughly 24 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa figure) to account for seal friction. This equates to lifting approximately 2 kg vertically with a sane 2:1 safety margin. Confirm your ordering essentials: 10 mm bore, 80 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, S magnet, CB clevis, and any LB/FA/CJ mount. A plain cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add an external rod lock if you need fail-safe holding.
Quick checklist
This double-acting single-rod cylinder delivers 39.3 N push and 33 N pull at 0.5 MPa, with maximums of 55 N push and 46.2 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The operating pressure range is 0.15-0.7 MPa, the proof pressure is 1.2 MPa, and the speed range is 50-800 mm/s.
No, a standard PB cylinder will drift if air is lost or the valve is centered. The fixed TPU bumper only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and does not act as a brake. You must install an external stop or rod lock for fail-safe load holding.
