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.
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.

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.

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
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.
