Airtac PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD16X75S
The AirTAC PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD16X75S 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.

About the Airtac PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD16X75S
The AirTAC PBD16X75S is a double-acting, double-rod pen-size mini cylinder featuring a 16 mm bore and 75 mm stroke. Because a rod exits both covers sharing one piston, push and pull forces are equal at 90.7 N at 0.5 MPa. The twin rods resist twist better than a single rod, while the second end carries a sensor flag or second tool without extra hardware.
Built with SUS304 stainless steel, this slim body includes a fixed TPU bumper at each end. The S option adds a built-in piston magnet for reed or electronic switches. The thin Ø5 mm rod handles coaxial thrust, so add an external guide for off-axis loads.

| 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 PBD16X75S Is Used
Dual-Side Transfer
Push a part from one belt and pull another simultaneously. Equal 90.7 N force both ways keeps symmetric timing without sizing for a weaker pull stroke.
Sensor-Flagged Index
Mount a flag on the spare rod end to trigger a reed or electronic switch. The twin Ø5 mm rods resist twist during the 75 mm travel for reliable positioning.
Symmetric Vertical Lift
Lift a light jig vertically using both rod ends.
Is the Airtac PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD16X75S the Right Cylinder?
This 16 mm bore generates 90.7 N both ways at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, the 12 mm bore provides 46.7 N; stepping up is not required as this is the largest standard size. Both directions output 126.9 N at the 0.7 MPa maximum. The equal force benefits pull-dominant or symmetric duty cycles.
Remember that both ends require rod clearance across the full 75 mm stroke. Confirm your ordering essentials: 16 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, S magnet, and your preferred mount. The air port is M5x0.8 and the rod-end thread is M10x1.0.
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 PBD16X75S FAQ
The push and pull forces are equal because both chambers act on the rod-side area. It outputs 90.7 N at 0.5 MPa and 126.9 N at the 0.7 MPa maximum operating pressure.
Twin rods on one piston resist rotation better than a single rod. The spare rod end can carry a sensor flag, external stop, or second tool without extra hardware. Note that a plain cylinder does not hold position on air loss; use an external stop for fail-safe holding.
