Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ10X15-10
The AirTAC Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ10X15-10 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 15mm stroke with a 10mm fine-adjustable window — settable from 5 to 15mm, so you set the end position without changing hardware.

About the Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ10X15-10
The AirTAC PBJ10X15-10 is a double-acting, pen-size mini cylinder with a 10mm adjustable stroke window. A rear M4x0.7 adjuster screw shortens the retract end, giving an effective range of 5-15mm. You can tune the length on the machine without ordering new hardware. The extend end remains fixed.
Force is identical to a standard PB 10mm bore, delivering 39.3N push at 0.5MPa. The Ø4mm rod and barrel are stainless steel, and a fixed TPU bumper cushions both ends. Plan for a safe working load of roughly 24N, which is about 60% of the rated 0.5MPa force, to account for seal friction.

| Rod diameter | Ø4 mm |
| Nominal stroke | 15 mm |
| Adjustable window | 10 mm (5–15 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 PBJ10X15-10 Is Used
Trial Stops
Set temporary retract positions during machine commissioning to find the exact contact point before finalizing hard stops.
Changeover Fixtures
Quickly adjust the retract depth to accommodate multiple part heights on a shared assembly jig without swapping cylinders.
Variable Insertion
Dial in precise insertion depths for delicate pins or plugs directly at the machine, avoiding tooling changes.
Is the Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ10X15-10 the Right Cylinder?
For lighter duty, the 10mm bore offers 39.3N push at 0.5MPa. If you need more force, stepping up to a 12mm bore yields 56.5N push. Remember that only the retract position is adjustable; the extend end is fixed. After setting your 5-15mm range, re-tighten the lock nut to prevent vibration drift. Confirm your bore, 15mm nominal stroke, 10mm window, and M5x0.8 port when ordering.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Need to fine-tune the end position on site
- ✓ Retract end sits within 5–15 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 PBJ10X15-10 FAQ
The effective stroke range is 5-15mm. It provides 39.3N push and 33N pull at 0.5MPa, and 55N push and 46.2N pull at the 0.7MPa maximum. Force equals a standard PB 10mm cylinder.
A rear M4x0.7 screw shortens the retract end by up to 10mm, while the extend end stays fixed. You must re-tighten the lock nut after setting to prevent vibration drift. The thin Ø4mm rod is for coaxial thrust, so avoid side loads.
