Airtac PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD10X100
The AirTAC PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD10X100 is a double-acting pen-size mini cylinder with a piston rod protruding from both covers. The twin rods share one piston, giving equal push and pull force, resisting rotation and providing a spare mounting or sensing end on a Ø10mm bore, 100mm stroke.

About the Airtac PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD10X100
The AirTAC PBD10X100 is a double-acting, double-rod pen-size mini cylinder with a 10mm bore and 100mm stroke. A 4mm piston rod protrudes from both covers on a single piston, acting on the same rod-side annular area. This geometry delivers equal push and pull forces, giving you about 33N of thrust in both directions at 0.5MPa.
The twin 4mm rods resist twist better than a single rod and provide a spare end to mount a sensor flag or second tool. Built with SUS304 stainless steel and a fixed TPU bumper at each end, this slim body saves space in tight jigs. The M5x0.8 air port keeps the envelope compact while the M8x1.0 rod-end threads handle mounting.
Airtac PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD10X100 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD10X100 |
|---|---|
| Series | PBD JIS pen-size double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø10 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø4 mm (both ends) |
| Stroke | 100 mm |
| Acting type | Double acting, double rod |
| Port size | M5×0.8 |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.15 – 0.7 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.2 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 50 – 800 mm/s |
| Cushion | Elastic bumper (both ends) |
| Max standard stroke | Up to 100 mm |
Both chambers act on the rod-side annular area, so push and pull forces are equal. Piston rod and barrel are stainless steel. Confirm against the product label before installation.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø10mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 33.0 N | 33.0 N |
| 0.7 MPa (max) | 46.2 N | 46.2 N |
Because a rod occupies both chambers, the effective area is identical on each side — push and pull forces match. Values are from the AirTAC thrust table (rod-side / pull column). Size with a friction margin.

Where the Airtac PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD10X100 Is Used
Dual-Side Transfer
Push a part 100mm one way and pull an empty pallet back simultaneously. Equal 33N force both ways keeps symmetric cycle timing without sizing for a weaker return stroke.
Sensor-Flagged Index
Drive a light tool with the primary 4mm rod while the spare opposite rod carries a physical flag. This triggers an external sensor without adding extra hardware to the moving payload.
Symmetric Clamp
Clamp a delicate workpiece from both sides using the twin rods. The shared piston resists twist during the 100mm travel, keeping the jaws aligned under off-center loads.
Is the Airtac PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD10X100 the Right Cylinder?
This 10mm bore provides 33N of force both ways at 0.5MPa. If your duty is pull-dominant or symmetric, the equal force prevents the weakness seen in single-rod units.
If you need less force, the 6mm bore offers 10.6N at 0.5MPa. For heavier jobs, the 12mm bore provides 46.7N. Because this is the maximum standard stroke of 100mm, the 4mm rod is highly slender; add an external linear bearing to prevent side-load deflection. Confirm your bore, stroke, and mount requirements, as this unit lacks a sensor magnet.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Need equal force in both directions
- ✓ Second rod end for a sensor / stop / flag
- ✓ Better anti-rotation than a single rod
- ✓ Magnet (S) for sensors?
- ✓ Clearance for the rod on both ends
- ✓ 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 Leave clearance for the rod at both ends.
- check Keep the load coaxial; avoid side load on the thin rods.
- check Do not dismantle the front or back cover.
- check Fit dust caps to ports during long-term storage.
Airtac PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD10X100 FAQ
The push and pull forces are equal because both chambers act on the rod-side area. It generates 33N at 0.5MPa and 46.2N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.7MPa.
No, a plain double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost. The fixed TPU bumper only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it is not a lock. You must add an external stop or rod lock for fail-safe holding.
