Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB16X75CB
The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB16X75CB is a double-acting pen-size (mini) air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 75mm 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 PB16X75CB
The AirTAC PB16X75CB is a double-acting JIS pen-size mini cylinder engineered for compact automation. It generates 100.5 N of push force and 90.7 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a 16 mm bore and a 75 mm stroke. The slim SUS304 stainless barrel and screwed-in covers provide excellent durability in damp or mildly corrosive environments while keeping end-of-arm tooling lightweight.
This specific configuration includes a CB double clevis back cover, allowing the cylinder to pivot smoothly on a pin mount. Air connects via an M5x0.8 port, and the Ø5 mm piston rod features an M10x1.0 end thread for secure load coupling. Deceleration is handled by a fixed TPU bumper at each end, which absorbs impact over the final few millimeters of travel.

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 PB16X75CB Is Used
Package Diverter Flap
Pivots a sorting gate on a packaging conveyor to redirect small cartons, utilizing the CB clevis to accommodate the swing arc during high-speed routing.
PCB Test Fixture
Drives a delicate probe block onto printed circuit boards, where the slim stainless body fits neatly between dense test arrays without adding excessive mass.
Label Applicator Arm
Advances a labeling head onto product cases, relying on the fixed TPU bumpers to soften the impact at the end of the 75 mm extension cycle.
Is the Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB16X75CB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, compare its 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa against adjacent bores: the Ø12 steps down to 56.5 N, while there is no larger standard bore in this pen-size family. For real-world work, plan for a safe working load of roughly 60 N (about 60% of the theoretical force) to account for seal friction. Vertically, this translates to lifting about 5.1 kg with a sane 2:1 safety margin. Because the Ø5 mm rod is built for coaxial thrust, add an external linear guide if your jig imposes off-axis loads over the 75 mm stroke.
To finalize your order, confirm the 16 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, and the CB double clevis bracket. 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 bumper only decelerates near the end of the stroke. For a fail-safe hold, an external rod lock or mechanical stop is required.
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 PB16X75CB 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 of 50-800 mm/s.
The CB designation indicates a double clevis back cover, allowing the cylinder body to pivot during operation. Instead of an adjustable air cushion, it uses a fixed TPU bumper at each end to decelerate the piston over the last few millimeters. If moving heavy tooling at high speed, you should meter-out the exhaust or add an external shock absorber.
