The AirTAC Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ10X125-10S 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 125mm stroke with a 10mm fine-adjustable window — settable from 115 to 125mm, so you set the end position without changing hardware.
The AirTAC PBJ10X125-10S is a double-acting, adjustable-stroke pen-size mini cylinder with a built-in magnet. A rear adjuster screw shortens the retract end, giving an effective stroke range of 115-125mm. The extend end remains fixed. Output force matches a standard PB body, delivering about 39.3N push at 0.5MPa.
This unit features a slim SUS304 stainless build and a fixed TPU bumper at each end. The 125mm length is non-standard for this 10mm bore, making it a made-to-order item. The Ø4mm piston rod is built for coaxial thrust; over long strokes add an external guide to prevent side-load wear. A plain cylinder does not hold position on air loss, so fit an external stop for fail-safe holding.

| Nominal stroke | 125 mm |
| Adjustable window | 10 mm (115–125 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.
| 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.

Fixed body — no separate back-cover code. Mounting accessories: LB, FA. Related PB-family variants: PB (fixed stroke), PBD (double rod), PBR (front-mount).
Dial in the exact retract stop during product changeovers without machining new pins or ordering different hardware.
Set temporary end positions for prototype testing, letting engineers find the exact stroke distance on the bench.
Adjust insertion depth on light tooling; the 2kg vertical lift capacity suits delicate vertical assembly tasks.
Confirm the essentials before ordering: 10mm bore, 125mm nominal stroke, 10mm window, -S magnet, and mounting. Note that 125mm exceeds the 100mm max standard stroke for this bore. If a shorter fixed length works, choose a standard PB; if equal force both ways is needed, look at PBD; for a front bolt mount, use PBR.
When sizing, a 12mm bore gives 56.5N push while an 8mm bore (if available) offers less. Only the retract position is adjustable here, so set your distance and re-tighten the M4x0.7 lock nut to prevent vibration drift. Plan for a safe working load of about 24N (roughly 60% of the 39.3N rated figure at 0.5MPa) to account for seal friction.
Quick checklist
The effective stroke range is 115-125mm. At 0.5MPa the push force is 39.3N and pull is 33N. At the maximum 0.7MPa pressure, push is 55N and pull is 46.2N. The air port is M5x0.8 and the rod-end thread is M8x1.0.
The rear adjuster screw shortens the retract end only; the extend end is fixed. You must re-tighten the lock nut after setting to prevent vibration drift. The built-in magnet works with AirTAC reed or electronic switches. The fixed TPU bumper decelerates the last few mm; at higher speeds with real mass, meter-out the exhaust or add an external shock absorber.
