Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB16X110SCB
The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB16X110SCB is a double-acting pen-size (mini) air cylinder with a Ø16mm 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.

About the Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB16X110SCB
The AirTAC PB16X110SCB is a double-acting JIS pen-size mini cylinder engineered for compact, high-frequency motion. It features a 16mm bore and 110mm stroke, generating 100.5 N of push force and 90.7 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The slim SUS304 stainless steel barrel and piston rod provide durability in damp or mildly corrosive environments while keeping end-of-arm tooling light.
This variant includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) for position sensing and a CB double clevis back cover for pivoting loads. Air connects via an M5x0.8 port, and the Ø5 mm rod terminates in an M10x1.0 thread. Deceleration relies on fixed TPU bumpers at both ends, which absorb impact over the final few millimeters of travel rather than providing adjustable cushioning.

| 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 (Ø16mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 100.5 N | 90.7 N |
| 0.7 MPa (max) | 140.7 N | 126.9 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 PB16X110SCB Is Used
Package Diverter Flap
Pivots a lightweight routing gate on a packaging conveyor to sort small cartons, utilizing the CB double clevis to accommodate the swing arc.
PCB Test Fixture
Drives a probe block down onto printed circuit boards, using the built-in magnet to confirm test head position before applying the 100.5 N clamp force.
Label Applicator Arm
Extends a labeling head precisely onto wet wipe pouches, benefiting from the SUS304 build to withstand washdown moisture in the packaging area.
Is the Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB16X110SCB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 16mm bore, stepping down to the Ø12 model yields 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, while there is no larger standard bore in this pen-size family. Plan for a safe working load of about 60 N (roughly 60% of the 100.5 N rated push at 0.5 MPa) to account for seal friction and smooth travel. In vertical lift scenarios, this equates to lifting about 5.1 kg with a sane 2:1 safety margin. Confirm your ordering essentials: 16mm bore, 110mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, S magnet, CB double clevis, and any LB, FA, or CJ mounting brackets.
Note that a plain PB body does not hold its position if air pressure drops or the valve is centered; the piston will drift, and the fixed bumper only decelerates near stroke end. For fail-safe load holding, an external stop or rod lock is required. Additionally, the Ø5 mm rod is designed for coaxial thrust—over this 110mm stroke, avoid side loading or add an external linear bearing to prevent binding.
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 PB16X110SCB FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 100.5 N and the pull force is 90.7 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, the push force is 140.7 N and the pull force is 126.9 N. The operating pressure range is 0.15-0.7 MPa, with a speed range of 50-800 mm/s.
No, a plain PB cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered. The fixed TPU bumper only decelerates the piston near the end of the stroke and does not act as a lock. You must use an external rod lock or mechanical stop to hold a load safely.
