Airtac PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD10X175S
The AirTAC PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD10X175S 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 PBD10X175S
The AirTAC PBD10X175S is a double-acting, double-rod pen-size mini cylinder with a 10 mm bore and 175 mm stroke. Because a rod exits both covers on one piston, both chambers act on the same annular area. This delivers identical push and pull force, giving you about 33 N in both directions at 0.5 MPa. The twin rods resist twist better than a single rod, and the second end carries a sensor flag or second tool without extra hardware.
This unit includes a built-in piston magnet for reed or electronic switches. The slim SUS304 stainless body saves space on tight jigs. The 175 mm stroke exceeds the 100 mm standard maximum for this 10 mm bore, so this configuration is non-standard and made-to-order. It uses an M5x0.8 air port, an M8x1.0 rod-end thread, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end.
Airtac PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD10X175S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD10X175S |
|---|---|
| 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 PBD10X175S Is Used
Dual-Side Transfer
Push a part one way and pull a different part back with the same 33 N force, using both rod ends for symmetrical pick-and-place without adding a second cylinder.
Sensor-Flagged Index
Mount a flag on the spare rod end to trigger an external sensor, keeping the primary working side clean for tooling while confirming position over the 175 mm travel.
Symmetric Clamp
Clamp a workpiece from both sides simultaneously. The twin rods resist rotational twist during the clamping motion, keeping the tooling aligned.
Is the Airtac PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD10X175S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 10 mm bore unit, consider the neighbouring bores. Dropping 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. This PBD10X175S sits in the middle, delivering 33 N of equal push and pull force.
Because the stroke is 175 mm and the rod is a slender Ø4 mm, add an external linear bearing to prevent side-load deflection over that long travel. Remember that both ends require rod clearance across the full stroke. Confirm your ordering essentials: 10 mm bore, 175 mm non-standard stroke, S magnet, and your preferred mounting option.
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 PBD10X175S FAQ
Push and pull forces are equal because both chambers act on the rod-side area. It generates 33 N at 0.5 MPa and 46.2 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.7 MPa.
Yes, the spare rod end is ideal for mounting a sensor flag, and the S suffix means a built-in magnet works with reed or electronic switches. A plain cylinder does not hold position on air loss; the piston drifts, so use an external stop for fail-safe holding.
