Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB16X75R
The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB16X75R 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 PB16X75R
The AirTAC PB16X75R is a JIS pen-size double-acting single-rod mini cylinder featuring a 16mm bore and 75mm stroke. It delivers a robust 100.5 N push and 90.7 N pull at 0.5 MPa, making it the highest force class in this slim profile family. The R suffix designates an axial air inlet for clean in-line plumbing, while the M5x0.8 port keeps connections compact.
Built with a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod and barrel, this unit withstands damp or mildly corrosive environments. The Ø5 mm rod end features an M10x1.0 thread for secure load coupling. It uses fixed TPU bumpers at both ends to decelerate motion over the final few millimeters. Because there is no -S suffix, this specific configuration does not include a sensor magnet.

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 PB16X75R Is Used
PCB Depaneling Router
Actuates a routing blade fixture to singulate printed circuit boards, utilizing the 100.5 N push force to maintain positive cutting pressure without stressing the substrate.
Carton Flap Folder
Tucks minor flaps on small product cartons moving along a conveyor, where the compact pen-size body fits neatly between guide rails and the TPU bumper softens the fold impact.
Textile Yarn Guide
Traverses a yarn guide across a winding spool at high frequency, relying on the SUS304 stainless barrel to resist humid dye-house conditions and the 50-800 mm/s speed range.
Is the Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB16X75R the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, stepping down to the Ø12 bore yields 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, while this Ø16 provides 100.5 N at the same pressure, giving you a clear upgrade path for heavier tooling. Plan for a safe working load of roughly 60 N, which accounts for seal friction at 0.5 MPa. For vertical lifts, this equates to raising about 5.1 kg safely with a 2:1 margin. Keep in mind the thin Ø5 mm rod is designed for coaxial thrust; over this 75 mm stroke, adding an external guide prevents side-load wear. Note that a plain PB body drifts when air is lost, so an external rod lock is required for fail-safe holding. Confirm your ordering essentials: 16mm bore, 75mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, no magnet, R axial 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 PB16X75R FAQ
This double-acting cylinder generates 100.5 N push and 90.7 N pull at 0.5 MPa. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, it yields 140.7 N push and 126.9 N pull. It operates between 0.15-0.7 MPa, runs at speeds of 50-800 mm/s, and has a proof pressure of 1.2 MPa.
The R suffix indicates a back cover with an axial air inlet for straight in-line plumbing. Instead of an adjustable air cushion, it uses fixed TPU bumpers at both ends to decelerate the piston over the last few millimeters. If moving heavy tooling mass at high speed, meter-out the exhaust or add an external shock absorber to prevent bottoming out.
