Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ10X150-10
The AirTAC Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ10X150-10 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 150mm stroke with a 10mm fine-adjustable window — settable from 140 to 150mm, so you set the end position without changing hardware.

About the Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ10X150-10
The AirTAC PBJ10X150-10 is a double-acting, single-rod pen-size mini cylinder with a 10 mm adjustable window. A rear screw and lock nut shorten the retract end, giving an effective stroke range of 140-150 mm. The extend end remains fixed. Output force matches a standard PB of this bore, delivering 39.3 N push at 0.5 MPa.
This 150 mm unit is a non-standard, made-to-order length exceeding the 100 mm max standard stroke for this 10 mm bore. It features a SUS304 stainless build, an M5x0.8 port, and a fixed TPU bumper. Because the rod is just Ø4 mm, add an external guide for long strokes to prevent side-load damage. Plan for a safe working load of about 24 N at 0.5 MPa.

|---|---|
| Series | PBJ JIS pen-size adjustable-stroke cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø10 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø4 mm |
| Nominal stroke | 150 mm |
| Adjustable window | 10 mm (140–150 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 PBJ10X150-10 Is Used
Variable-Depth Insertion
Dial in exact insertion depths on the machine without swapping cylinders, using the 140-150 mm retract range to test multiple part tolerances quickly.
Changeover Fixtures
Speed up product changeovers by turning the rear M4x0.7 adjuster screw to shift the back position, accommodating new part heights instantly on the same jig.
Trial Stop Positioning
Set precise trial stops for delicate assembly operations. The slim stainless body fits tight tooling spaces while providing repeatable end-of-stroke positioning.
Is the Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ10X150-10 the Right Cylinder?
This 10 mm bore provides 39.3 N push at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, a smaller option lacks the required thrust; moving up to a 12 mm bore yields 56.5 N push. Remember that only the retract position is field-settable. Re-tighten the lock nut after tuning to prevent vibration drift. Confirm your ordering essentials: bore, stroke, window, and mount.
Note this 150 mm stroke is non-standard and made-to-order. The thin Ø4 mm rod requires coaxial thrust, so use a linear bearing over this extended length. The fixed TPU bumper only decelerates the last few mm, so meter-out the exhaust or add an external shock absorber for heavy tooling.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Need to fine-tune the end position on site
- ✓ Retract end sits within 140–150 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 PBJ10X150-10 FAQ
The effective stroke range is 140-150 mm. At 0.5 MPa, push force is 39.3 N and pull is 33 N. At the maximum 0.7 MPa operating pressure, push is 55 N and pull is 46.2 N. Adjusting the stroke does not alter these forces.
The rear screw shortens only the retract end; the extend end is fixed. You must re-tighten the lock nut after setting to prevent vibration drift. A plain cylinder does not hold position on air loss, as the piston drifts and the fixed TPU bumper only decelerates near stroke end. Use an external rod lock for fail-safe holding.
