Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ10X10-10S
The AirTAC Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ10X10-10S 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 PBJ10X10-10S
The AirTAC PBJ10X10-10S is a double-acting, single-rod pen-size mini cylinder with a 10mm bore and a 10mm adjustable-stroke window. A rear adjuster screw shortens the retract end, providing an effective stroke range of 0 to 10mm. Output force equals a standard PB body, delivering about 39.3 N push at 0.5 MPa. The extend end remains fixed, so only the back position changes. The integrated magnet works with reed or electronic switches.
Built with a SUS304 stainless rod and barrel, this slim unit saves space in tight jigs. It features a fixed TPU bumper at each end to decelerate motion near the stroke limits. The M5x0.8 air port and M8x1.0 rod-end thread match the standard 10mm bore configuration. Remember to re-tighten the lock nut after setting the rear screw, as vibration can drift an unlocked adjuster.

| 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.

Is the Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ10X10-10S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 10mm bore model, consider the next bore up (12mm) for 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa if more power is needed, as the 10mm bore is the smallest available. Plan for a safe working load of about 24 N, which is roughly 60% of the 39.3 N theoretical force at 0.5 MPa. For vertical lifts, expect to raise about 2 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The thin Ø4 mm piston rod is built for coaxial thrust, so add an external guide if side loads are present. Confirm your bore, stroke, window, S magnet, and mounting choice before 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 PBJ10X10-10S FAQ
The effective stroke range is 0 to 10mm. Force is unchanged from a standard PB cylinder: 39.3 N push and 33 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 55 N push and 46.2 N pull at the 0.7 MPa maximum.
The rear M4x0.7 screw shortens only the retract end, while the extend end remains fixed. You must re-tighten the lock nut after setting your desired position to prevent vibration drift.
