Airtac PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD10X200S
The AirTAC PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD10X200S 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, 200mm stroke.

About the Airtac PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD10X200S
The AirTAC PBD10X200S is a double-acting, double-rod mini cylinder featuring a 10 mm bore and a 200 mm stroke. Because a rod exits both covers sharing one piston, the chambers act on identical rod-side annular areas, delivering an equal 33 N of push and pull force at 0.5 MPa. The built-in magnet (-S) supports reed or electronic switches for end-of-stroke sensing.
This 200 mm stroke exceeds the 100 mm standard maximum for this 10 mm bore, making it a non-standard, made-to-order part. The slim SUS304 stainless body saves space in tight jigs, while the fixed TPU bumper at each end decelerates the piston near stroke ends. Plan for about 20 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, accounting for seal friction and smooth travel.

| Model | Airtac PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD10X200S |
|---|---|
| Series | PBD JIS pen-size double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø10 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø4 mm (both ends) |
| Stroke | 200 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 PBD10X200S Is Used
Dual-Side Transfer
Pushes a part from one conveyor to another using one rod end while the opposite end retracts simultaneously, keeping cycle forces perfectly balanced.
Sensor-Flagged Index
Mounts a detection flag on the spare rod end to trigger a reed or electronic switch externally, freeing the primary rod for tooling.
Symmetric Clamp
Secures a delicate workpiece from both sides at once; the twin rods resist rotational twist better than a single rod during clamping.
Is the Airtac PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD10X200S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this bore, the neighboring 6 mm version yields 10.6 N at 0.5 MPa, while the larger 12 mm bore provides 46.7 N at 0.5 MPa. This 10 mm model delivers 33 N both ways, making it ideal for symmetric duty where a single-rod cylinder would be weaker on the pull. Confirm your ordering essentials: 10 mm bore, 200 mm non-standard stroke, S magnet, and any LB or FA mounts.
Remember that both ends require rod clearance across the full 200 mm travel. The air port is M5x0.8, and the rod-end thread is M8x1.0. Because the 200 mm stroke is long, the slender Ø4 mm rod requires an external linear bearing to prevent side-load damage.
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 PBD10X200S FAQ
It provides 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.
No, the piston drifts without live pressure. The fixed TPU bumper only decelerates near the stroke end and acts as neither a lock nor a brake. Use an external stop or rod lock for fail-safe holding.
