The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB12X110SU is a double-acting pen-size (mini) air cylinder with a Ø12mm bore and 110mm 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 PB12X110SU is a double-acting JIS pen-size mini cylinder engineered for compact, high-frequency motion. It features a 12mm bore and a 110mm stroke, generating 56.5 N of push force and 46.7 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The slim SUS304 stainless barrel and piston rod provide corrosion resistance for damp production zones, while the M5x0.8 port keeps pneumatic plumbing compact.
This variant includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) for position sensing with AirTAC reed or electronic switches, plus a U-type back cover offering a 90-degree side air inlet for flat routing. Because the 110mm stroke is relatively long for the Ø5 mm rod, maintaining coaxial alignment is critical to prevent side-loading wear. The ends rely on fixed TPU bumpers rather than adjustable cushions, meaning heavy tooling mass at high speeds may require external shock absorption.

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 | 56.5 N | 46.7 N |
| 0.7 MPa (max) | 79.1 N | 65.4 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.

Advances a tooling head across 110mm to singulate printed circuit boards, utilizing the 56.5 N push force to maintain steady feed without stressing the delicate substrate.
Tucks minor flaps on small packaging lines; the U-type side inlet keeps the pneumatic hoses flush against the machine frame to avoid snagging on passing boxes.
Pushes lightweight electronic components out of a nested tray, relying on the -S magnet and an electronic switch to confirm the 110mm ejection stroke is fully complete.
If you need less force, stepping down to the Ø10 bore provides 39.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa; stepping up to the Ø16 bore yields 100.5 N. Note that a standard PB body does not hold its position if air pressure drops or the valve is centered—the piston will drift, so an external rod lock is required for fail-safe holding.
To order, confirm the 12mm bore, 110mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, built-in magnet (S), and U-type 90-degree side inlet. You can mount it using standard AirTAC LB, FA, or CJ brackets.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 56.5 N and the pull force is 46.7 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, the push force is 79.1 N and the pull force is 65.4 N. The operating pressure range is 0.15-0.7 MPa, with a speed range of 50-800 mm/s.
It uses fixed TPU bumpers at both ends, which only decelerate the piston over the last few millimeters. It is not an adjustable air cushion or a locking brake. If you are moving real tooling mass at high speed, you should meter-out the exhaust or add an external shock absorber to prevent bottoming out.
