Airtac PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD10X25
The AirTAC PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD10X25 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, 25mm stroke.

About the Airtac PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD10X25
The AirTAC PBD10X25 is a double-acting, double-rod pen-size mini cylinder. A 4mm rod exits both covers on a single piston, meaning both chambers act on the same annular area. This provides exactly 33 N of push and pull force at 0.5 MPa. The twin rods resist twist better than a single rod, giving you a spare end to mount a sensor flag or second tool.
The slim SUS304 stainless body saves space in tight jigs. It uses an M5x0.8 port and M8x1.0 rod-end thread. The fixed TPU bumper decelerates the last few mm of travel; it is not an adjustable cushion or a locking brake.

| Model | Airtac PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD10X25 |
|---|---|
| Series | PBD JIS pen-size double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø10 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø4 mm (both ends) |
| Stroke | 25 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 PBD10X25 Is Used
Dual-Side Transfer
Push a part from either direction with identical 33 N force. The twin rods keep the motion stable during light end-of-arm tooling transfers.
Symmetric Clamp
Clamp a workpiece from both sides simultaneously. The equal push and pull areas ensure consistent holding pressure in both directions.
Sensor Flag Index
Use the spare rod end to mount a physical flag. Even without a built-in magnet, the second rod provides a clean mounting point for external tracking.
Is the Airtac PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD10X25 the Right Cylinder?
This 10mm bore generates 33 N both ways at 0.5 MPa. Stepping down to the 6mm bore drops the force to 10.6 N, while stepping up to the 12mm bore raises it to 46.7 N. Choose this 25mm stroke model when you need symmetric push/pull force and have rod clearance at both ends. Confirm your bore, stroke, and mounting needs (LB or FA) when ordering.
With no magnet specified, this base model cannot host reed or electronic switches. The 4mm rod is built for coaxial thrust; over this 25mm stroke, avoid side loading by adding an external linear guide. If you need to hold a load vertically without live air pressure, add an external stop since the bumper will not lock the piston.
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 PBD10X25 FAQ
The 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.
The dual rods resist twist better than a single rod, improving guidance. However, the 4mm rods are for coaxial thrust, not precision rotation control; for zero twist or lateral loads, use an external linear bearing.
