Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ10X150-10S
The AirTAC Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ10X150-10S 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 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 PBJ10X150-10S
The AirTAC PBJ10X150-10S is a double-acting, single-rod pen-size mini cylinder with a 10 mm adjustable window. A rear M4x0.7 adjuster screw and lock nut shortens the retract end, giving an effective stroke range of 140 mm to 150 mm. The extend end remains fixed. Output force equals a standard PB of this bore, delivering 39.3 N push at 0.5 MPa.
This 150 mm stroke exceeds the 100 mm max standard for this 10 mm bore, making it a made-to-order item. The slim body features a SUS304 stainless rod and barrel, plus a fixed TPU bumper at each end. An M5x0.8 port and built-in magnet for reed or electronic switches are included. Because the rod is only Ø4 mm, use an external guide for off-axis loads over this long stroke.

| 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 PBJ10X150-10S Is Used
Changeover Fixtures
Dial in the exact retract stop on the fly when swapping product tooling, avoiding the need to reorder cylinders for different lengths.
Trial Stops
Set a precise end position during prototype testing, locking the nut once the optimal travel is found for the jig.
Variable-Depth Insert
Fine-tune the back position for varying part heights without physically changing the actuator hardware on the machine.
Is the Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ10X150-10S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing, note the 12 mm bore gives 56.5 N push, while the 16 mm bore yields 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa. For this 10 mm bore, plan for a safe working load of about 24 N, which lifts roughly 2 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Remember the fixed TPU bumper only decelerates the last few mm; at high speeds with real tooling mass, meter-out the exhaust or add an external shock absorber.
Only the retract position is field-settable; the extend end is fixed. Always re-tighten the lock nut after setting to prevent vibration drift. Confirm your ordering essentials: 10 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, 10 mm window, S magnet, and mounting.
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 PBJ10X150-10S FAQ
The effective stroke range is 140 to 150 mm. The force equals a standard PB 10 mm bore: 39.3 N push and 33 N pull at 0.5 MPa; 55 N push and 46.2 N pull at the 0.7 MPa maximum.
The rear M4x0.7 screw shortens only the retract end; the extend end is fixed. Re-tighten the lock nut after setting to prevent vibration drift. A plain cylinder does not hold position on air loss—the piston drifts, so an external rod lock is needed for fail-safe holding.
