Airtac PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD10X150
The AirTAC PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD10X150 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, 150mm stroke.

About the Airtac PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD10X150
The AirTAC PBD10X150 is a double-acting, double-rod pen-size mini cylinder featuring a 10mm bore and a 150mm stroke. Because a 4mm rod exits both covers, the chambers act on identical annular areas, delivering an equal 33N of push and pull force at 0.5MPa. The twin rods share one piston to resist twist better than a single rod, and the spare end can carry a sensor flag or second tool.
This 150mm stroke exceeds the 100mm standard maximum for this bore, making it a non-standard, made-to-order part. The slim SUS304 stainless body saves space in tight jigs. The M5x0.8 air port and fixed TPU bumper at each end keep the footprint small.
Airtac PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD10X150 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD10X150 |
|---|---|
| Series | PBD JIS pen-size double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø10 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø4 mm (both ends) |
| Stroke | 150 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 PBD10X150 Is Used
Dual-Side Transfer
Pushes a part one way on the forward stroke and pulls a second part on the return, using the equal 33N force both ways for balanced dual-side shuttle automation.
Symmetric Clamp
Clamps a workpiece from opposing sides simultaneously. The twin 4mm rods resist rotational twist during the 150mm travel, keeping the jaw alignment true.
Sensor-Flagged Index
Uses the primary 4mm rod end to drive the load while the spare rear rod end mounts an external flag, triggering a reed switch without adding brackets.
Is the Airtac PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD10X150 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this model means choosing a non-standard 150mm stroke over the 100mm maximum standard, requiring a made-to-order wait. It provides 33N of equal bidirectional force at 0.5MPa. If you need less travel, dropping to the 6mm bore yields 10.6N, while stepping up to the 12mm bore provides 46.7N. Both rod ends require clearance across the full 150mm stroke.
The thin 4mm rod is built for coaxial thrust, so over this long stroke you should add an external linear bearing to prevent side-load binding. Confirm your ordering essentials: 10mm bore, 150mm stroke, no magnet, and your preferred mounting. The fixed TPU bumper only decelerates the last few millimeters, so meter-out the exhaust if moving real tooling mass at speed.
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 PBD10X150 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 0.7MPa maximum operating pressure.
No, a plain double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost. The fixed TPU bumper only decelerates near the stroke end and is not a lock. You must add an external stop or rod lock for fail-safe holding.
