Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ12X150-75
The AirTAC Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ12X150-75 is a double-acting, double-rod pen-size mini cylinder whose rear rod carries a stroke adjuster. On a Ø12mm bore it gives a nominal 150mm stroke with a 75mm fine-adjustable window — settable from 75 to 150mm, so you set the end position without changing hardware.

About the Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ12X150-75
The AirTAC PBJ12X150-75 is a double-acting, double-rod pen-size mini cylinder with an adjustable stroke. A rear adjuster screw and lock nut shorten the retract end, giving an effective stroke range of 75-150 mm. The extend end remains fixed.
This 12 mm bore unit features a Ø5 mm rod, an M5x0.8 air port, and an M10x1.0 rod-end thread. The SUS304 stainless barrel and slim body suit tight jigs. A fixed TPU bumper decelerates the last few mm of travel. For higher speeds with real tooling mass, meter-out the exhaust or add an external shock absorber.

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 PBJ12X150-75 the Right Cylinder?
This model covers a 75-150 mm adjustable window.
Only the retract end is adjustable, so verify your extend length is fixed. Re-tighten the lock nut after setting the screw to prevent vibration drift. Confirm ordering essentials: 12 mm bore, 150 mm nominal stroke, 75 mm window, no magnet, and mounting. The thin Ø5 mm rod is for coaxial thrust; over long strokes add an external guide to prevent side load.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Need to fine-tune the end position on site
- ✓ Retract end sits within 75–150 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 PBJ12X150-75 FAQ
The effective stroke range is 75-150 mm. The 0.7 MPa rating is the maximum operating pressure.
The screw shortens the retract end only, while the extend end is fixed. You set the desired length and then re-tighten the lock nut to prevent vibration drift. This adjustment changes the stroke length without altering the force output.
