Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ10X150-50
The AirTAC Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ10X150-50 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 50mm fine-adjustable window — settable from 100 to 150mm, so you set the end position without changing hardware.

About the Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ10X150-50
The AirTAC PBJ10X150-50 is a double-acting, single-rod pen-size mini cylinder with a 50mm adjustable stroke window. A rear adjuster screw (M4x0.7) shortens the retract end, yielding an effective stroke range of 100-150mm. The extend end remains fixed. Output force equals a standard PB of the same 10mm bore, delivering 39.3N push at 0.5MPa with no penalty for the adjustability.
This 150mm stroke exceeds the 100mm max standard for the 10mm bore, making it a made-to-order item. The slim SUS304 stainless body saves space in tight jigs. The M5x0.8 port and Ø4mm rod are built for coaxial thrust. A fixed TPU bumper decelerates the last few mm of travel. Plan for a safe working load of about 24N (roughly 60% of the 0.5MPa figure) to account for seal friction and smooth travel.

| Nominal stroke | 150 mm |
| Adjustable window | 50 mm (100–150 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 |

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 PBJ10X150-50 Is Used
Changeover Fixtures
Dial in the retract stop from 100 to 150mm during product changeovers without machining new hard stops or reordering cylinders.
Trial Insertion Stops
Fine-tune the depth of a light pressing operation on the machine floor by turning the rear screw to find the exact seating position.
Variable-Length Ejectors
Adjust the retract distance on an ejection arm to accommodate different part heights in compact multi-model assembly jigs.
Is the Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ10X150-50 the Right Cylinder?
This 10mm bore provides 39.3N push and 33N pull at 0.5MPa. If you need more force, the 12mm bore offers 56.5N push; if less is acceptable, confirm smaller options. Remember that only the retract position is tunable via the rear screw—the extend end is fixed. After setting your 100-150mm range, re-tighten the lock nut to prevent vibration drift. Confirm ordering essentials: 10mm bore, 150mm nominal stroke, 50mm window, and mounting (LB/FA). The Ø4mm rod is slender; over this long 150mm stroke, add an external linear bearing to prevent side-load damage.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Need to fine-tune the end position on site
- ✓ Retract end sits within 100–150 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 PBJ10X150-50 FAQ
The effective stroke range is 100-150mm. At 0.5MPa it provides 39.3N push and 33N pull. At the 0.7MPa maximum it provides 55N push and 46.2N pull. 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 its load on air loss—the piston drifts, so use an external stop for a fail-safe hold.
