Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ10X100-10S
The AirTAC Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ10X100-10S 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 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 PBJ10X100-10S
The AirTAC PBJ10X100-10S is a double-acting, single-rod pen-size mini cylinder with a 10mm bore and a 100mm nominal stroke. A rear adjuster screw with a lock nut shortens the retract end, giving an effective stroke range of 90-100mm. You set the exact length on the machine without changing hardware. The extend end remains fixed. Force is unchanged from a standard PB body, delivering about 39.3N push at 0.5MPa. The M5x0.8 port and Ø4mm rod keep the body slim.
The SUS304 stainless barrel and rod suit tight jigs and light end-of-arm tooling. A fixed TPU bumper decelerates the last few millimeters of travel. The built-in magnet works with reed or electronic switches. The thin Ø4mm rod is built for coaxial thrust, so over long 100mm strokes add an external guide to prevent side-load wear. The adjuster uses an M4x0.7 thread.

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 PBJ10X100-10S Is Used
Changeover Fixtures
Dial in the 90-100mm retract distance on the rear screw when switching product families, avoiding hardware swaps.
Trial Stops
Fine-tune the end position in 10mm increments during prototype testing to find the exact contact depth.
Variable-Depth Insertion
Adjust the retract end to set precise insertion depths for different parts on the same compact jig.
Is the Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ10X100-10S the Right Cylinder?
A 10mm bore gives 39.3N push at 0.5MPa. Stepping down is not an option, while stepping up to a 12mm bore yields 56.5N push. Plan for a safe working load of about 24N, which is roughly 60% of the theoretical force, to account for seal friction. For vertical lifting, expect to lift about 2kg with a sane 2:1 margin. Remember the rear screw only adjusts the retract end; the extend position is fixed. Always re-tighten the lock nut after setting to prevent vibration drift. Confirm your ordering essentials: 10mm bore, 100mm stroke, 10mm window, S magnet, and mounting choice.
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 PBJ10X100-10S FAQ
The effective stroke range is 90-100mm. Force equals a standard PB 10mm bore: 39.3N push and 33N pull at 0.5MPa; 55N push and 46.2N pull at 0.7MPa. The maximum operating pressure is 0.7MPa.
The rear M4x0.7 adjuster screw shortens only the retract end, while the extend end is fixed. You must re-tighten the lock nut after setting to prevent vibration drift. The S suffix means a built-in piston magnet for reed or electronic switches.
