Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ10X100-100
The AirTAC Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ10X100-100 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 100mm fine-adjustable window, so you set the end position without changing hardware.

About the Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ10X100-100
The AirTAC PBJ10X100-100 is a double-acting, single-rod pen-size mini cylinder featuring a 100mm adjustable stroke window. A rear adjuster screw with an M4x0.7 thread and lock nut shortens the retract end, giving an effective stroke range of 0 to 100mm. The extend end remains fixed. Output force equals a standard PB of this bore, delivering 39.3 N push and 33 N pull at 0.5 MPa.
The slim SUS304 stainless body includes a fixed TPU bumper at each end and a 4mm rod. The M5x0.8 port handles air at 0.15-0.7 MPa. Because the rod is only 4mm thick, use an external guide or linear bearing over this long 100mm stroke to prevent side-load damage. Plan for a safe working load of about 24 N (roughly 60% of the 0.5 MPa push figure) or vertical lifts of about 2 kg with a 2:1 margin.

| Bore size | Ø10 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø4 mm |
| Nominal stroke | 100 mm |
| Adjustable window | 100 mm (0–100 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) |

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 PBJ10X100-100 Is Used
Changeover Fixtures
Dial in the exact retract stop during product family changeovers without swapping physical cylinder hardware.
Trial Depth Stops
Iteratively test and tune the retract position for prototype sensing or pressing depths directly on the machine.
Variable Insertion
Adjust the back position on the fly for assemblies requiring different insertion depths from a single jig.
Is the Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ10X100-100 the Right Cylinder?
This 10mm bore provides 39.3 N push at 0.5 MPa. Sizing down is not available, but sizing up to the 12mm bore yields 56.5 N push for heavier tasks. Remember that only the retract position is field-settable; the extend end is fixed. Always re-tighten the lock nut after setting to prevent vibration drift. Confirm your ordering essentials: 10mm bore, 100mm stroke, 100mm window, no magnet, and no mount.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Need to fine-tune the end position on site
- ✓ Retract end sits within 0–100 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 PBJ10X100-100 FAQ
The effective stroke range is 0 to 100mm. At 0.5 MPa, push force is 39.3 N and pull force is 33 N. At the maximum 0.7 MPa operating pressure, push is 55 N and pull is 46.2 N.
The rear M4x0.7 screw shortens only the retract end of the stroke, while the extend end remains fixed. You must re-tighten the lock nut after setting your desired length to prevent vibration drift.
