Airtac PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD10X15
The AirTAC PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD10X15 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, 15mm stroke.

About the Airtac PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD10X15
The AirTAC PBD10X15 is a double-acting, double-rod pen-size mini cylinder. A 4mm stainless rod exits both covers on one shared piston. Because each chamber acts on the same annular area, it delivers exactly 33 N of push and pull force at 0.5 MPa.
The twin rods resist twist better than a single rod and provide a spare end for a sensor flag or second tool. The slim SUS304 body saves space in tight jigs. A fixed TPU bumper at each end decelerates the last few mm of travel.
Airtac PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD10X15 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD10X15 |
|---|---|
| Series | PBD JIS pen-size double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø10 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø4 mm (both ends) |
| Stroke | 15 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 PBD10X15 Is Used
Dual-Side Transfer
Pushes a part one way and pulls it back with identical 33 N force, keeping symmetric timing on a short 15mm shuttle.
Sensor-Flagged Index
Uses the primary rod to move a stop while the spare opposite end carries a flag for a reed switch without extra hardware.
Symmetric Clamp
Twin rods resist twist during clamping, holding a light workpiece straight against off-center contact forces.
Is the Airtac PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD10X15 the Right Cylinder?
This 10mm bore generates 33 N both ways at 0.5 MPa (46.2 N at the 0.7 MPa maximum). If you need less force, the 6mm bore provides 10.6 N; if you need more, the 12mm bore gives 46.7 N. Because rods protrude from both ends, ensure you leave clearance across the full 15mm stroke on both sides. Order by bore, stroke, magnet, and mount. This unit has no magnet and uses an M5x0.8 port with M8x1.0 rod-end threads.
The thin 4mm rod is built for coaxial thrust, not side loading. Over long strokes or off-axis loads, add an external guide or linear bearing. The fixed bumper is not adjustable or a lock; fit an external stop if you need fail-safe holding on air loss.
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 PBD10X15 FAQ
It provides equal push and pull forces of 33 N at 0.5 MPa and 46.2 N at the 0.7 MPa maximum operating pressure.
Twin rods on one piston resist rotation better than a single rod. The second protruding end also provides a spare attachment point for an external stop or sensor flag without requiring extra mounting hardware.
