About the Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ12X150-100
The AirTAC PBJ12X150-100 is a double-acting, double-rod pen-size mini cylinder with a 100mm adjustable window. A rear M5x0.8 adjuster screw shortens the retract end, giving an effective stroke range of 50-150mm. You set the exact length on the machine without ordering new hardware. The extend end remains fixed.
The slim SUS304 stainless body uses an M5x0.8 port and a fixed TPU bumper.

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.

Where the Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ12X150-100 Is Used
Variable-Depth Insertion
Dial in precise 50-150mm press strokes for inserting connectors without swapping cylinders.
Changeover Fixtures
Quickly retune the retract position on multi-product lines to handle different part heights.
Trial Stop Setup
Fine-tune the back position during R&D testing to find the exact stopping distance.
Is the Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ12X150-100 the Right Cylinder?
Remember only the retract position changes; the extend end is fixed. After dialing in your 50-150mm range, re-tighten the lock nut to stop vibration drift. Confirm your ordering essentials: bore 12, stroke 150, window 100, magnet, and mount.
The Ø5mm rod suits coaxial thrust over long strokes; add an external guide for off-axis loads. At high speeds with tooling mass, the fixed TPU bumper bottoms out, so meter-out the exhaust or add an external shock absorber.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Need to fine-tune the end position on site
- ✓ Retract end sits within 50–150 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 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 PBJ12X150-100 FAQ
The effective stroke range is 50-150mm.
The rear M5x0.8 screw shortens the retract end only; the extend end is fixed. You must re-tighten the lock nut after setting your length to prevent vibration drift.
