Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ10X175-50S
The AirTAC Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ10X175-50S 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 50mm fine-adjustable window — settable from 125 to 175mm, so you set the end position without changing hardware.

About the Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ10X175-50S
The AirTAC PBJ10X175-50S is a double-acting, single-rod pen-size mini cylinder with a 50mm adjustable-stroke window. A rear M4x0.7 adjuster screw shortens the retract end, giving an effective stroke range of 125-175mm. The extend end remains fixed. Output force matches a standard PB of the same bore, delivering 39.3N push at 0.5MPa.
This 10mm bore unit features a 4mm SUS304 rod, an M5x0.8 air port, and an M8x1.0 rod-end thread. A built-in magnet works with reed or electronic switches. Because 175mm exceeds the 100mm max standard stroke, this is a made-to-order item. Plan for roughly 24N of actual work at 0.5MPa, and note the slim 4mm rod needs external guidance over this long length.

| Bore size | Ø10 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø4 mm |
| Nominal stroke | 175 mm |
| Adjustable window | 50 mm (125–175 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.

Where the Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ10X175-50S Is Used
Changeover Fixtures
Dial in the exact retract stop during product changeovers to set new pressing depths without swapping cylinders.
Trial Stops
Fine-tune the back position for prototype testing, finding the optimal travel distance before finalizing a machine layout.
Variable Insertion
Adjust insertion depth on the fly for parts of varying heights, using the 125-175mm range to hit precise targets.
Is the Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ10X175-50S the Right Cylinder?
For a 10mm bore, the 175mm length is non-standard and made-to-order. If your stroke requirement is shorter, stepping down to a 16mm bore offers 100.5N push at 0.5MPa for heavier loads. Stepping up is not applicable here as 10mm is the smallest available bore. Remember that only the retract position is field-settable; re-tighten the lock nut to prevent vibration drift. Confirm your ordering essentials: 10mm bore, 175mm stroke, 50mm window, S magnet, and mounting accessories.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Need to fine-tune the end position on site
- ✓ Retract end sits within 125–175 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 PBJ10X175-50S FAQ
The effective stroke range is 125-175mm. At 0.5MPa it provides 39.3N push and 33N pull. At the 0.7MPa maximum, it yields 55N push and 46.2N pull.
A rear M4x0.7 screw shortens only the retract end; the extend end is fixed. You set the length on the machine, then re-tighten the lock nut to prevent vibration drift. The built-in magnet supports reed or electronic switches.
