Airtac PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD6X35S
The AirTAC PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD6X35S 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 Ø6mm bore, 35mm stroke.

About the Airtac PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD6X35S
The AirTAC PBD6X35S is a double-acting, double-rod pen-size mini cylinder with a 6 mm bore and 35 mm stroke. A piston rod protrudes from both covers on a single piston, meaning both chambers act on the same rod-side annular area. This geometry yields perfectly equal push and pull forces, delivering 10.6 N in both directions at 0.5 MPa.
The twin Ø3 mm stainless steel rods resist twist better than a single rod and provide a spare end for mounting a sensor flag or external stop. The slim SUS304 body saves space in tight jigs. A fixed TPU bumper at each end decelerates the last few millimeters of travel. Because this unit includes the -S option, a built-in piston magnet enables position sensing with reed or electronic switches.
Airtac PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD6X35S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD6X35S |
|---|---|
| Series | PBD JIS pen-size double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø6 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø3 mm (both ends) |
| Stroke | 35 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 50 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 (Ø6mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 10.6 N | 10.6 N |
| 0.7 MPa (max) | 14.8 N | 14.8 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 PBD6X35S Is Used
Dual-Side Transfer
Pushes a part forward on the extend stroke and retracts a second part simultaneously, utilizing the equal push and pull force for balanced dual-side conveyor loading.
Sensor-Flagged Index
Uses the spare rod end to carry a flag for a reed or electronic switch, confirming position without adding external hardware to the primary tooling side.
Symmetric Clamp
Clamps a delicate workpiece from both sides at once. The twin rods resist rotational twist, keeping the jaws aligned during repetitive light-duty tasks.
Is the Airtac PBD Pen-shaped Double Rod Cylinder PBD6X35S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 6 mm bore model, consider the neighboring 10 mm bore which provides 33.0 N at 0.5 MPa if you need more force. Downward, there is no smaller PB bore, so this is the most compact option available. Both directions yield 10.6 N at 0.5 MPa, making it ideal for symmetric duty. Both ends require rod clearance across the full 35 mm stroke. Confirm your ordering essentials: 6 mm bore, 35 mm stroke, S magnet, and your preferred mount.
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 PBD6X35S FAQ
The push and pull forces are equal because both chambers act on the same rod-side area. It generates 10.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 14.8 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.7 MPa.
Yes. The spare rod end can carry a sensor flag or external stop. This specific model includes the S option for a built-in magnet, allowing you to mount reed or electronic switches directly to the body.
