Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ10X10-10
The AirTAC Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ10X10-10 is a double-acting pen-size mini cylinder with a rear adjuster screw that shortens the retract end of the stroke. On a Ø10mm bore it gives a nominal 10mm stroke with a 10mm fine-adjustable window, so you set the end position without changing hardware.

About the Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ10X10-10
The AirTAC PBJ10X10-10 is a double-acting, single-rod pen-size mini cylinder with a 10mm adjustable stroke window. A rear M4x0.7 adjuster screw and lock nut shorten the retract end, giving an effective stroke range of 0 to 10mm. The extend end remains fixed. Output force equals a standard PB of the same bore, delivering 39.3N push at 0.5MPa. The M5x0.8 air port and SUS304 stainless build suit tight spaces.
Because the stroke trims from 10mm down to zero, you can fine-tune end positions right on the machine. The fixed TPU bumper decelerates the last few millimeters of travel. Plan for a safe working load of about 24N, which is roughly 60% of the 0.5MPa theoretical force. This prevents overloading the Ø4mm rod, which is built for coaxial thrust and requires an external guide for any side load.

|---|---|
| Series | PBJ JIS pen-size adjustable-stroke cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø10 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø4 mm |
| Nominal stroke | 10 mm |
| Adjustable window | 10 mm (0–10 mm) |
| Adjuster thread | M4×0.7 |
| Port size | M5×0.8 |
|---|---|
| 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 |
The adjuster shortens only the retract end; the extend end is fixed. Force is unchanged from the standard PB double-acting cylinder. Confirm the set position against the product label before installation.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø10mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 39.3 N | 33.0 N |
| 0.7 MPa (max) | 55.0 N | 46.2 N |
Adjusting the stroke does not change output force — these are the same values as the standard PB double-acting cylinder of the same bore. Size with a friction margin.

Light Tooling
Fit slim stainless bodies into end-of-arm assemblies where space and weight are tight.
Is the Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ10X10-10 the Right Cylinder?
This 10mm bore provides 39.3N push at 0.5MPa, sitting at the smallest available size. Stepping up to the 12mm bore raises push force to 56.5N, while dropping below 10mm is not an option in this series. Remember that only the retract position is settable; the extend end is fixed. Always re-tighten the lock nut after dialing in the M4x0.7 screw to prevent vibration drift. Confirm your bore, 10mm nominal stroke, 10mm window, and mounting choice when ordering.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Need to fine-tune the end position on site
- ✓ Retract end sits within 0–10 mm
- ✓ Force at your working pressure
- ✓ Magnet (S) for sensors?
- ✓ Access to the rear adjuster screw
- ✓ 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 Set the adjuster, then re-lock the check nut.
- check The adjuster shortens the retract end only.
- check Keep the load coaxial; avoid side load on the thin rod.
- check Do not dismantle the front or back cover.
Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ10X10-10 FAQ
The effective stroke range is 0 to 10mm. Force is identical to a standard PB: 39.3N push and 33N pull at 0.5MPa, or 55N push and 46.2N pull at the 0.7MPa maximum.
A rear M4x0.7 screw shortens only the retract end; the extend end is fixed. After setting your position, re-tighten the lock nut to prevent vibration drift.
