Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB16X75SCB
The AirTAC Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB16X75SCB 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 PB16X75SCB
The AirTAC PB16X75SCB is a JIS pen-size double-acting single-rod mini cylinder engineered for compact, high-frequency automation. It delivers a robust 100.5 N push and 90.7 N pull at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a 16 mm bore and 75 mm stroke. The SUS304 stainless barrel and piston rod provide excellent durability in damp or mildly corrosive environments, keeping the unit slim enough for tight jig spaces.
This specific configuration includes a built-in piston magnet (S) for position sensing and a CB double clevis back cover for pivoting loads. Fluid is filtered air, operating pressure ranges 0.15-0.7 MPa, and the M5x0.8 ports drive speeds from 50-800 mm/s. End-of-stroke energy is managed by fixed TPU bumpers, which decelerate the last few millimeters of travel rather than locking the rod.

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 PB16X75SCB Is Used
PCB Depanelling
Actuates a pivoting routing tool to singulate printed circuit boards, utilizing the CB clevis to accommodate the angular swing while providing 100.5 N of thrust.
Carton Flap Folding
Folds corrugated box flaps prior to tape sealing, where the compact stainless body resists dust and the fixed TPU bumpers absorb the repetitive end-of-stroke impact.
Diverter Gate
Drives a lightweight sorting gate on a packaging line, lifting parts weighing up to 5.1 kg vertically with a safe 2:1 margin at 0.5 MPa.
Is the Airtac PB Pen-type Cylinder PB16X75SCB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 16 mm bore unit, stepping down to a 12 mm bore yields 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, while this PB16X75SCB provides 100.5 N push at the same pressure. As the largest standard diameter in the series, there is no larger bore option, making it the top choice for maximum thrust within the pen-size format. For practical sizing, plan for a safe working load of about 60 N (roughly 60% of the 0.5 MPa theoretical force) to account for seal friction and smooth travel.
To confirm your ordering essentials: specify the 16 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, S magnet for reed or electronic switches, and the CB double clevis mount. Note that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered; an external rod lock is required for fail-safe load holding. The thin 5 mm rod handles coaxial thrust well, but over long strokes or off-axis loads, add an external linear guide to prevent side-load damage.
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 PB16X75SCB 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 speeds of 50-800 mm/s.
The CB back cover is a double clevis designed for pivoting loads. At the end of each stroke, a fixed TPU bumper decelerates the piston over the last few millimeters. It is not adjustable or a locking brake, so for high-speed or heavy tooling mass, meter-out the exhaust or add an external shock absorber.
