Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X90SR
The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X90SR is a double-acting pen-size (mini) air cylinder with a Ø10mm bore and 90mm 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 PB10X90SR
The AirTAC PB10X90SR is a JIS pen-size double-acting single-rod mini cylinder engineered for compact, high-frequency motion. It generates 39.3 N of push and 33 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a slim SUS304 stainless steel barrel and a 4 mm rod to fit tight jigs where space and payload matter. The R axial inlet keeps plumbing perfectly in line with the body.
This 90 mm stroke unit integrates a built-in piston magnet for AirTAC reed or electronic switches, plus fixed TPU bumpers at both ends to decelerate impact near stroke limits. Operating at speeds from 50-800 mm/s, it relies on an M5x0.8 port and an M8x1.0 rod-end thread. For reliable operation, plan for a safe working load of roughly 24 N, which accounts for seal friction at standard 0.5 MPa pressure.

| Rod diameter | Ø4 mm |
| Stroke | 90 mm |
| 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 |
| Cushion | Elastic bumper (both ends) |

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 PB10X90SR Is Used
PCB Pick & Place
Drives a small vacuum gripper to lift and position delicate circuit boards within dense SMT assembly machinery.
Blister Pack Sorting
Pushes lightweight pharmaceutical blister packs into secondary cartoning chutes at high cycling rates.
Lab Dispenser Actuation
Moves a micro-pipette head to precisely meter reagents into diagnostic vials without overloading the mechanism.
Is the Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB10X90SR the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, stepping down to a 6 mm bore yields 14.2 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a 12 mm bore provides 56.5 N, giving you clear scaling options if your force requirements shift. This PB10X90SR configuration includes the S magnet for position sensing and the R axial back cover for straight-line air supply. Confirm your needs for bore, stroke, port, magnet, and mount before ordering.
Because the 4 mm rod is designed purely for coaxial thrust, avoid side loads and add an external linear bearing if guiding off-axis masses. Note that a standard pen cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve centers; the bumper only softens the end-of-stroke impact and will not lock the load, so an external rod lock is required for fail-safe 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 PB10X90SR FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this double-acting cylinder provides 39.3 N of push and 33 N of pull. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, it yields 55 N push and 46.2 N pull. It operates between 0.15-0.7 MPa at speeds of 50-800 mm/s.
The -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet compatible with AirTAC reed or electronic switches. Cushioning is handled by fixed TPU bumpers at both ends, which are not adjustable. For high-speed loads, meter-out the exhaust or add an external shock absorber.
