About the Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ12X10-10
The AirTAC PBJ12X10-10 is a double-acting, double-rod pen-size mini cylinder featuring a 10mm adjustable stroke window. A rear screw with a lock nut shortens the retract end, providing an effective stroke range of 0-10mm.
This compact actuator features a SUS304 stainless build, a fixed TPU bumper at each end, and an M5x0.8 air port. The Ø5mm piston rod provides coaxial thrust.

PBJ is a double-rod cylinder: the rear rod carries the stroke adjuster, which sets the stroke end within the adjustable window. Confirm the set position against the product label before installation.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø12mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 46.7 N | 46.7 N |
| 0.7 MPa (max) | 65.4 N | 65.4 N |
The rear rod passes through the rear cover, so both piston faces lose rod area: push is shown at the annular-area value (conservative), lower than a single-rod PB push of the same bore. Size with a friction margin.

Is the Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ12X10-10 the Right Cylinder?
If you need less force, the 10mm bore offers 39.3N; if you need more, the 16mm bore provides 100.5N. Note that only the retract position is adjustable on this model, while the extend end remains fixed. Re-tighten the lock nut after setting your travel to prevent vibration drift.
Confirm your ordering essentials: 12mm bore, 10mm nominal stroke, 10mm window, no magnet, and standard mounting. The M5x0.8 port and M10x1.0 rod-end thread are fixed by the bore size.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Need to fine-tune the end position on site
- ✓ Retract end sits within 0–10 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 Double rod: the rear rod carries the stroke adjuster.
- 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 PBJ12X10-10 FAQ
The effective stroke range is 0-10mm.
The rear screw shortens only the retract end of the stroke, leaving the extend end fixed. You must re-tighten the lock nut after setting your desired position to prevent vibration drift.
