Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB16X110SU
The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB16X110SU 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 PB16X110SU
The AirTAC PB16X110SU is a double-acting JIS pen-size mini cylinder engineered for compact, high-frequency motion. It features a 16 mm bore and a 110 mm stroke, generating 100.5 N of push and 90.7 N of pull at 0.5 MPa. The slim SUS304 stainless barrel and piston rod provide reliable corrosion resistance in damp or mildly wet environments, keeping end-of-arm tooling light.
This configuration includes a built-in piston magnet (S) for position detection and a U-type back cover offering a 90-degree perpendicular air inlet for flat plumbing. Air connects via an M5x0.8 port, while the Ø5 mm rod utilizes an M10x1.0 end thread. Travel speed reaches 50-800 mm/s, with fixed TPU bumpers decelerating the piston at both stroke 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 (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 PB16X110SU Is Used
PCB Depaneling Router
Advances a cutting tool along a 110 mm path to singulate printed circuit boards, utilizing the 100.5 N push force and slim profile to fit within dense electronic assembly machinery.
Carton Flap Folder
Actuates a mechanical arm to tuck minor flaps on small packaging lines, where the 90-degree side inlet keeps pneumatic plumbing flat against the conveyor frame.
Lab Dispenser Positioning
Moves a fluid dispensing nozzle over wet chemical processes, benefiting from the SUS304 stainless construction that resists humidity and mild corrosive fumes.
Is the Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB16X110SU the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, plan for a safe working load of about 60 N, which accounts for roughly 60% of the 100.5 N theoretical push at 0.5 MPa to overcome seal friction. For vertical lifts, this equates to raising approximately 5.1 kg safely with a 2:1 margin. If you need less force, stepping down to the 12 mm bore yields 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa; if your application demands more power, this 16 mm bore is the largest available in the series at 100.5 N.
Because the thin Ø5 mm piston rod is designed strictly for coaxial thrust, adding an external guide or linear bearing is recommended over the 110 mm stroke to prevent side-loading damage. Remember that a standard cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, so an external rod lock is necessary for fail-safe holding. Confirm your ordering essentials: 16 mm bore, 110 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, S magnet, and U 90-degree inlet.
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 PB16X110SU 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 is 140.7 N and the pull is 126.9 N. The operating pressure range is 0.15-0.7 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.2 MPa and a speed range of 50-800 mm/s.
No, the piston will drift if air is lost or the valve is centered. The fixed TPU bumpers only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends and do not act as a lock. For vertical loads or fail-safe holding, you must add an external stop or rod lock. The integrated magnet works with AirTAC reed or electronic switches for position feedback.
