Airtac PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD10X175
The AirTAC PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD10X175 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, 175mm stroke.

About the Airtac PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD10X175
The AirTAC PBD10X175 is a double-acting, double-rod pen-size mini cylinder featuring a 10 mm bore and a 175 mm stroke. Because a rod exits both covers acting on the same annular area, it delivers exactly 33 N of push and pull force at 0.5 MPa. This symmetric thrust is ideal for pull-dominant or bidirectional duty where a single-rod unit would be weaker on the return. The twin rods share one piston to resist twist better than a single rod, though for zero rotation or lateral loads you should still use a guided cylinder.
The second protruding rod end can carry a sensor flag, external stop, or second tool without extra hardware. Built with SUS304 stainless steel and a slim mini body, it saves space in tight jigs. It uses an M5x0.8 air port and an M8x1.0 rod-end thread. Note that 175 mm exceeds the 100 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so this specific model is non-standard and made-to-order. A fixed TPU bumper at each end decelerates the last few mm of travel but does not act as a lock.
Airtac PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD10X175 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD10X175 |
|---|---|
| Series | PBD JIS pen-size double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø10 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø4 mm (both ends) |
| Stroke | 175 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 PBD10X175 Is Used
Dual-Side Transfer
Pushes and pulls a light part across a short gap with equal 33 N force, using the second rod end to mount a synchronized second tool without extra hardware.
Symmetric Clamp
Clamps a delicate workpiece from both directions. The twin rods resist twist during the 175 mm travel, keeping the jaw aligned in tight jigs.
Sensor-Flagged Index
Uses the spare rod end to trip an external mechanical flag at mid-stroke, confirming position physically since this specific unit lacks a built-in magnet.
Is the Airtac PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD10X175 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 10 mm bore unit, consider the neighbours: the 6 mm bore yields 10.6 N, while the 16 mm bore provides 90.7 N at 0.5 MPa. The PBD10X175 provides 33 N both ways, giving equal force for symmetric duty.
Because both ends protrude, ensure you leave rod clearance across the full 175 mm stroke in your layout. The thin Ø4 mm rod is built for coaxial thrust; over this long stroke or with off-axis loads, add an external guide or linear bearing to prevent side load. Confirm your ordering essentials: 10 mm bore, 175 mm non-standard stroke, no magnet, and required mount. This plain unit does not hold position on air loss, so fit an external stop for fail-safe holding.
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 PBD10X175 FAQ
The PBD10X175 delivers an equal push and pull force of 33 N at 0.5 MPa and 46.2 N at 0.7 MPa. The maximum operating pressure is 0.7 MPa. Because both chambers act on the rod-side area, push equals pull in both directions.
No, a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air loss occurs or the valve is centered. The fixed TPU bumper only decelerates near the stroke end and is not a lock or brake. You must use an external stop or rod lock for fail-safe load holding.
