Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ10X175-30S
The AirTAC Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ10X175-30S 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 175mm stroke with a 30mm fine-adjustable window — settable from 145 to 175mm, so you set the end position without changing hardware.

About the Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ10X175-30S
The AirTAC PBJ10X175-30S is a double-acting, single-rod pen-size mini cylinder with a 30mm adjustable stroke window. A rear screw and lock nut shorten the retract end, giving an effective stroke range of 145-175mm. The extend end remains fixed. Output force matches a standard PB cylinder of the same bore, delivering 39.3N push at 0.5MPa.
This unit features a built-in piston magnet for reed or electronic switches. The slim SUS304 stainless body has a fixed TPU bumper at each end. Because the 175mm stroke exceeds the 100mm standard maximum for this 10mm bore, this configuration is non-standard and made-to-order. The M5x0.8 port and Ø4mm rod are designed for coaxial thrust.

| Model | Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ10X175-30S |
|---|---|
| Series | PBJ JIS pen-size adjustable-stroke cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø10 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø4 mm |
| Nominal stroke | 175 mm |
| Adjustable window | 30 mm (145–175 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.

Is the Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ10X175-30S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing, consider the 10mm bore limits. Stepping up to a 12mm bore increases push force to 56.5N at 0.5MPa, while dropping to a smaller bore reduces capacity. For this model, plan for a safe working load of about 24N, which is roughly 60% of the 0.5MPa theoretical push force. With a 2:1 margin, it lifts about 2kg vertically. The thin Ø4mm rod is highly susceptible to side loading over long strokes; always add an external linear bearing for off-axis loads.
Remember that only the retract position is field-settable. Loosen the lock nut on the M4x0.7 adjuster, set your length, and re-tighten firmly to prevent vibration drift. Confirm your ordering essentials: 10mm bore, 175mm stroke, 30mm window, S magnet, and any LB or FA mount.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Need to fine-tune the end position on site
- ✓ Retract end sits within 145–175 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 PBJ10X175-30S FAQ
The effective stroke range is 145-175mm. The double-acting force equals a standard PB 10mm bore: 39.3N push and 33N pull at 0.5MPa, and 55N push and 46.2N pull at 0.7MPa maximum pressure.
The rear M4x0.7 screw shortens the retract end only; the extend end is fixed. Re-tighten the lock nut after setting to prevent vibration drift. The built-in S magnet works with reed or electronic switches. Note that a plain cylinder does not hold position on air loss; use an external stop for fail-safe holding.
