Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ10X100-10
The AirTAC Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ10X100-10 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 100mm stroke with a 10mm fine-adjustable window — settable from 90 to 100mm, so you set the end position without changing hardware.

About the Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ10X100-10
The AirTAC PBJ10X100-10 is a double-acting, single-rod pen-size mini cylinder with a 10mm adjustable window. A rear adjuster screw (M4x0.7) and lock nut shorten the retract end, giving an effective stroke range of 90-100mm. The extend end remains fixed. Output force matches a standard PB body of the same bore, delivering 39.3N push at 0.5MPa.
The slim SUS304 stainless body and Ø4mm rod suit tight jigs. It uses an M5x0.8 port and a fixed TPU bumper at each end. Plan for a safe working load of roughly 24N (about 60% of the 0.5MPa theoretical force) to account for seal friction. This 100mm stroke hits the maximum standard length for this 10mm bore, so over this length or with off-axis loads, add an external linear guide to protect the slender rod from side load.
Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ10X100-10 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ10X100-10 |
|---|---|
| Series | PBJ JIS pen-size adjustable-stroke cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø10 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø4 mm |
| Nominal stroke | 100 mm |
| Adjustable window | 10 mm (90–100 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.

Where the Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ10X100-10 Is Used
Changeover Fixtures
Dial in the exact retract stop during product changeovers without swapping hardware. The 10mm window lets you tune depth on the fly for varied part heights.
Trial Positioning Stops
Use the 90-100mm range to find the perfect end position during prototype testing. Lock the M4x0.7 nut once the optimal travel is set.
Variable Depth Insertion
Adjustable retract end accommodates different insertion depths on a single station. The fixed TPU bumper protects the stroke ends from impact.
Is the Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ10X100-10 the Right Cylinder?
Size this 10mm bore carefully against its neighbors. If force is insufficient, step up to the 12mm bore (56.5N push at 0.5MPa); if too strong, step down is unavailable as 10mm is the smallest. This model provides 39.3N push and 33N pull at 0.5MPa. The rear screw limits the retract position only; the extend end is fixed. Always re-tighten the lock nut after setting your 90-100mm range to prevent vibration drift. Confirm ordering essentials: bore, stroke, window, magnet (none here), and mount before checkout.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Need to fine-tune the end position on site
- ✓ Retract end sits within 90–100 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 PBJ10X100-10 FAQ
It provides 39.3N push and 33N pull at 0.5MPa, and 55N push / 46.2N pull at 0.7MPa max. The effective stroke range is 90-100mm because the 10mm rear adjuster screw shortens the retract end only. Force equals a standard PB cylinder of the same bore.
No, a plain double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost or a valve is centered. The fixed TPU bumper only decelerates the last few mm of travel. For fail-safe vertical holding, add an external stop or rod lock. The slender Ø4mm rod also needs a linear guide for side loads.
