Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ10X100-30
The AirTAC Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ10X100-30 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 30mm fine-adjustable window — settable from 70 to 100mm, so you set the end position without changing hardware.

About the Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ10X100-30
The AirTAC PBJ10X100-30 is a double-acting, single-rod pen-size mini cylinder with a 30mm adjustable window. A rear M4x0.7 adjuster screw shortens the retract end, giving an effective stroke range of 70-100mm. You tune the travel directly on the machine without ordering new hardware. The extend end remains fixed.
Output force matches a standard PB bore 10, delivering 39.3N push at 0.5MPa with no penalty for adding the adjuster. The slim SUS304 stainless body saves space in tight jigs. It uses an M5x0.8 port, a fixed TPU bumper at each end, and a Ø4mm rod. Plan for a safe working load of about 24N at 0.5MPa to account for seal friction and smooth travel.

| Bore size | Ø10 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø4 mm |
| Nominal stroke | 100 mm |
| Adjustable window | 30 mm (70–100 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 PBJ10X100-30 Is Used
Changeover Fixtures
Dial in the exact retract distance when switching product families on a shared fixture, saving the cost of swapping cylinders for each new part height.
Trial Insertion Stops
Fine-tune the back position during prototype runs to find the perfect insertion depth before locking down the final mechanical stop.
Variable Depth Press
Set precise downward travel limits for light pressing tasks, adjusting the 70-100mm window on the fly without changing the fixed extend end.
Is the Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ10X100-30 the Right Cylinder?
This 10mm bore provides 39.3N push at 0.5MPa. If you need less force, a smaller option lacks the required thrust; if your fixture needs more power, step up to the 12mm bore for 56.5N push. Remember that only the retract position is adjustable, so verify your extend layout. After setting the 70-100mm range, re-tighten the lock nut because vibration can drift an unlocked screw. Confirm your ordering essentials: 10mm bore, 100mm nominal stroke, 30mm window, no magnet, and your preferred mount.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Need to fine-tune the end position on site
- ✓ Retract end sits within 70–100 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 PBJ10X100-30 FAQ
The effective stroke range is 70-100mm (100mm nominal minus up to 30mm via the rear adjuster). Force is identical to a standard PB 10mm bore: 39.3N push and 33N pull at 0.5MPa; 55N push and 46.2N pull at the 0.7MPa maximum. The air port is M5x0.8 and the rod-end thread is M8x1.0.
A rear M4x0.7 screw shortens only the retract end, while the extend end is fixed. You set the travel from 70 to 100mm and then tighten the lock nut to prevent vibration drift. The thin Ø4mm rod is built for coaxial thrust, so add an external guide for off-axis loads over long strokes.
