Airtac PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD16X75
The AirTAC PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD16X75 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 Ø16mm bore, 75mm stroke.
- BoreØ16 mm
- Stroke75 mm
- Port sizeM5×0.8
- Acting typeDouble acting, double rod
- Rod threadM10×1.0
- ForceEqual both ways
- No minimum order. A single piece can be ordered.
- Ready in 3–5 business days. That is the time we take to process the order and hand it to the carrier. Transit time after that depends on the destination.
About the Airtac PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD16X75
The AirTAC PBD16X75 is a double-acting, double-rod pen-size mini cylinder. A single piston drives twin rods, so both chambers act on the same annular area to deliver 90.7 N of equal push and pull force at 0.5 MPa. The SUS304 stainless barrel and slim body save space in tight jigs.
Both rod ends feature M10x1.0 threads on a 5 mm diameter rod. Air connects via an M5x0.8 port. Because a rod exits each cover, you gain a spare end for a sensor flag or second tool while improving twist resistance over a single rod.
Airtac PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD16X75 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD16X75 |
|---|---|
| Series | PBD JIS pen-size double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø16 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø5 mm (both ends) |
| Stroke | 75 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 200 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 (Ø16mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 90.7 N | 90.7 N |
| 0.7 MPa (max) | 126.9 N | 126.9 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 PBD16X75 Is Used
Dual-Side Transfer
Move a part from one belt to another using both rod ends to push and pull symmetrically without adding a second actuator.
Symmetric Clamp
Center and hold a workpiece from both sides simultaneously, using the equal push and pull force to maintain balance.
Sensor-Flagged Index
Mount a detection flag on the spare rod end to confirm position without consuming space on the primary tooling side.
Is the Airtac PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD16X75 the Right Cylinder?
This 16 mm bore generates 90.7 N both ways at 0.5 MPa. Stepping down to a 12 mm bore drops the force to 46.7 N, while stepping up is unavailable within this pen series.
Ensure your layout provides clearance for both rods across the full 75 mm stroke. Confirm your ordering essentials: 16 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, no 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 PBD16X75 FAQ
It delivers an equal push and pull force of 90.7 N at 0.5 MPa and 126.9 N at 0.7 MPa. The maximum operating pressure is 0.7 MPa.
No, the piston will drift without live pressure. The fixed TPU bumper only decelerates the rod near the stroke end; use an external stop or rod lock for fail-safe holding.
