The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB12X110U 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 PB12X110U is a double-acting JIS pen-size mini cylinder engineered for compact, high-frequency small-part 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 areas, while the M5x0.8 air ports keep plumbing tidy.
This specific configuration includes a U-type back cover, offering a 90-degree perpendicular air inlet for flat-side plumbing in confined spaces. Because it lacks a sensor magnet, position detection is not supported without modification. The Ø6-Ø16 bore range utilizes a fixed TPU bumper at each end to decelerate the piston near stroke limits, though this is not a field-adjustable air cushion.

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.

Pushes a light tooling pin to secure circuit boards during the routing and depaneling process, where the 90-degree U inlet keeps air lines flush against the machine frame.
Cycles a small heated platen to close blister packs, utilizing the 56.5 N extend force to press layers together while fitting within narrow sealing heads.
Actuates a dosing valve for liquid reagents in wet laboratory environments, benefiting from the SUS304 stainless construction to resist mild chemical corrosion.
If your application requires less force, the adjacent Ø10 bore provides 39.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa; stepping up to the Ø16 bore yields 100.5 N.
Confirm your ordering essentials: 12mm bore, 110mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, U-type 90-degree side inlet, and no magnet. The Ø5 mm piston rod with an M10x1.0 rod-end thread is designed for coaxial thrust; over this 110mm stroke, add an external linear bearing if the load imposes any side load. Note that a plain PB cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, so an external rod lock is required for fail-safe holding.
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 of 50-800 mm/s.
The U back cover provides a 90-degree perpendicular side air inlet for flat plumbing in tight spaces. Deceleration is handled by a fixed TPU bumper at each end, which only absorbs impact over the last few millimeters of travel; it is not an adjustable air cushion, so meter-out the exhaust or add an external shock absorber for heavy high-speed loads.
