- Ready in 3–5 business days. That is the time we take to process the order and hand it to the carrier. Transit time after that depends on the destination.
About the AirTAC PB16
The AirTAC PB16 is a double-acting pen cylinder with a 16 mm bore and a 5 mm piston rod. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 101 N and pulls 91 N; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 141 N push and 127 N pull. Force depends on bore and pressure only, so every stroke on this page gives the same output.
All PB16 versions share M5×0.8 air ports, an M10×1.0 rod thread and rubber bumpers at both ends. The cylinder runs on filtered air between 0.15 and 0.7 MPa (proof 1.2 MPa), from -20 to +70 °C, at 50 to 800 mm/s. This page lists 228 stock order codes with strokes from 5 to 300 mm; the catalog maximum stroke is 300 mm.

Theoretical output force (Ø16 mm)
| Pressure | Push | Pull |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 101 N | 91 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 141 N | 127 N |
Push = pressure × bore area; pull subtracts the Ø5 mm rod area. Usable force is lower because of friction and back-pressure.

Where the PB16 Is Used
Small pushers and stoppers
About 101 N at 0.5 MPa suits light pushers, stoppers, gates and ejectors.
Packaging and assembly
Compact strokes for feeders, diverters and assembly stations.
Sensed positioning
Magnet versions report stroke ends to the PLC through cylinder sensors.
Choosing the Right PB16 Configuration
Start with the stroke. Pick the exact travel your machine needs; a longer stroke adds length, weight and air consumption without adding force. If your length is not listed, request a quote and we will confirm whether it can be built.
Then choose the back cover and mounting. The back cover sets how the rear of the cylinder is fixed or where its air enters (CB double-clevis cover, R axial-port cover, U radial-port cover). Mounting brackets on this page: FA front flange, LB foot bracket. R and U covers set the rear air inlet (axial or radial); the CB double-clevis cover lets the cylinder pivot. Ø6 is built with the R axial-port cover only.
Finally pick the version: S adds a magnet for position sensors.
AirTAC PB16 FAQ
No. Every PB16 gives about 101 N push and 91 N pull at 0.5 MPa, whatever the stroke.
M5×0.8 ports.
Back covers: CB double-clevis cover, R axial-port cover, U radial-port cover. Brackets: FA front flange, LB foot bracket. Pick a pivoting cover or bracket when the load moves in an arc, a rigid one for straight-line loads.
Usually yes. Request a quote with the stroke, mounting and version and we will confirm whether it can be built, plus price and lead time.
0.15 to 0.7 MPa operating pressure (proof 1.2 MPa) and -20 to +70 °C on filtered air.
No. You can order a single PB16. Orders are processed and handed to the carrier within 3-5 business days.
