Airtac PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD10X10S
The AirTAC PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD10X10S 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, 10mm stroke.

About the Airtac PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD10X10S
The AirTAC PBD10X10S is a double-acting, double-rod pen-size mini cylinder. A piston rod exits both covers on a single piston, meaning both chambers act on the same rod-side annular area. This geometry delivers exactly 33 N of force at 0.5 MPa in both directions, so push equals pull for symmetric duty.
The twin rods resist twist better than a single rod, and the spare end can carry a sensor flag or second tool. The slim SUS304 stainless body saves space in tight jigs. It features an M5x0.8 air port, an M8x1.0 rod-end thread, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end that decelerates the last few millimeters of travel. Because this unit includes the S option, it has a built-in piston magnet for position sensing.

| Rod diameter | Ø4 mm (both ends) |
| Stroke | 10 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 PBD10X10S Is Used
Symmetric Clamp
Applies 33 N of equal clamping force in both directions, ensuring a workpiece is held securely without the force drop seen in single-rod units.
Sensor-Flagged Index
Uses the spare rod end to mount a physical sensor flag, leaving the primary end free to drive the tooling without interference.
Dual-Side Transfer
Pushes a part from one side and pulls a second part from the opposite side simultaneously, cutting cycle time in compact assembly jigs.
Is the Airtac PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD10X10S the Right Cylinder?
This 10 mm bore generates 33 N at 0.5 MPa and 46.2 N at its 0.7 MPa maximum. If your duty is pull-dominant, stepping down to a 6 mm bore yields only 10.6 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a 12 mm bore provides 46.7 N.
Both ends require rod clearance across the full 10 mm stroke. The Ø4 mm rod is built for coaxial thrust, so add an external guide for any off-axis loads. Confirm your ordering essentials: 10 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, S magnet for reed or electronic switches, and your preferred mount.
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 PBD10X10S FAQ
The push and pull forces are equal because a rod occupies both chambers. It outputs 33 N at 0.5 MPa and 46.2 N at the 0.7 MPa maximum operating pressure.
Yes. The spare rod end can carry a sensor flag or external stop. This S-model includes a built-in piston magnet compatible with AirTAC reed or electronic switches.
