Airtac PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD10X15S
The AirTAC PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD10X15S 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 PBD10X15S
The AirTAC PBD10X15S is a double-acting, double-rod pen-size mini cylinder. A 4mm piston rod exits both covers on a single piston, meaning both chambers act on the same annular area. This geometry yields exactly 33 N of force in both push and pull directions at 0.5 MPa.
The twin rods resist twist better than a single rod, providing stable guidance for coaxial thrust. The second rod end can carry a sensor flag or external stop without extra hardware. The slim SUS304 stainless body saves space in tight jigs, while a fixed TPU bumper at each end decelerates the last few millimeters of travel. This unit includes a built-in magnet for position sensing.

|---|---|
| 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 PBD10X15S Is Used
Dual-Side Transfer
Push a part from either direction with identical 33 N force. The twin rods keep the tooling flat during mid-stight transfers without twisting.
Sensor-Flagged Index
Mount a flag on the spare rod end to trigger an electronic switch. The primary side remains dedicated to the work tool for compact indexing.
Symmetric Clamp
Clamp from both ends simultaneously. Equal push and pull pressure ensures balanced holding force on delicate components in assembly jigs.
Is the Airtac PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD10X15S the Right Cylinder?
This 10mm bore generates 33 N both ways at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, the 6mm bore provides 10.6 N; if you need more, the 12mm bore offers 46.7 N.
Both ends require rod clearance across the full 15mm stroke. The 4mm rod is slender, so add an external linear bearing for off-axis loads. Confirm your ordering essentials: 10mm bore, 15mm stroke, S magnet, and your mount choice. The air port is M5x0.8 and the rod-end thread is M8x1.0.
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 PBD10X15S FAQ
It delivers an equal push and pull force of 33 N at 0.5 MPa and 46.2 N at 0.7 MPa. Because a rod occupies both chambers, the effective area is identical in both directions.
The twin rods share one piston to resist twist better than a single rod, though an external guide is still needed for side loads. The S option provides a built-in magnet for reed or electronic switches, and the spare rod end can mount a sensor flag.
