Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X80U
The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X80U 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 PB10X80U
The AirTAC PB10X80U is a double-acting JIS pen-size mini cylinder engineered for compact, high-frequency small-part motion. It features a slim SUS304 stainless steel barrel and piston rod, offering reliable durability in damp or mildly corrosive environments. Delivering 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it integrates an 80 mm stroke and an M5x0.8 port for efficient pneumatic actuation.
This model incorporates a U-type back cover, providing a 90-degree perpendicular air inlet for flat plumbing in space-constrained assemblies. The Ø4 mm rod utilizes an M8x1.0 rod-end thread for secure load coupling. To manage end-of-stroke energy, it relies on a fixed TPU bumper at each end rather than an adjustable air cushion, operating efficiently at speeds between 50 and 800 mm/s.

| 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 |

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 PB10X80U Is Used
PCB Depaneling Jig
Actuates a routing blade guide in tight electronics assembly cells, utilizing the 90-degree side inlet to keep pneumatic plumbing flush against the machine frame.
Blister Pack Sealing
Cycles a small heat press head for medical blister packs, where the fixed TPU bumpers absorb the repetitive impact of high-speed 80 mm strokes.
Lab Dispenser Positioning
Moves a micro-valve over reagent trays in wet laboratory environments, benefiting from the SUS304 stainless construction to resist mild chemical corrosion.
Is the Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X80U the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, consider that the PB10X80U provides 39.3 N push at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, stepping down to the Ø6 bore yields 14.2 N, while stepping up to the Ø12 bore provides 56.5 N. For practical sizing, plan for a safe working load of about 24 N (roughly 60% of the 0.5 MPa theoretical force) to account for seal friction, or anticipate lifting about 2 kg vertically with a sane 2:1 margin. Keep in mind a plain PB cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered; an external rod lock is required for fail-safe holding. To order, confirm the 10 mm bore, 80 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, U side inlet, and no magnet.
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 PB10X80U FAQ
The PB10X80U generates 39.3 N push and 33 N pull at 0.5 MPa. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, it produces 55 N push and 46.2 N pull. It operates between 0.15-0.7 MPa, handles speeds of 50-800 mm/s, and has a proof pressure of 1.2 MPa.
No, a plain PB cylinder will drift if air is lost or the valve is centered. The fixed TPU bumpers only decelerate the piston near the stroke end and do not act as a lock. For vertical load holding, you must add an external stop or rod lock.
