The AirTAC Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ16X125-30 is a double-acting, double-rod pen-size mini cylinder whose rear rod carries a stroke adjuster. On a Ø16mm bore it gives a nominal 125mm stroke with a 30mm fine-adjustable window — settable from 95 to 125mm, so you set the end position without changing hardware.
The AirTAC PBJ16X125-30 is a double-acting, double-rod pen-size mini cylinder with a 30mm adjustable window. A rear screw shortens the retract end, giving an effective stroke range of 95-125mm. You set the exact length on the machine without changing hardware. The extend end remains fixed.
The slim SUS304 stainless body and fixed TPU bumper save space in tight jigs. The M5x0.8 air port and M10x1.0 rod-end thread match the 16mm bore standard.

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.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 90.7 N | 90.7 N |
| 0.7 MPa (max) | 126.9 N | 126.9 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.

| 16 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×125 | Nominal stroke length in mm. |

Fixed body — no separate back-cover code. Mounting accessories: LB, FA. Related PB-family variants: PB (fixed stroke), PBD (double rod), PBR (front-mount).
Dial in the exact retract distance when swapping product families on a shared jig, avoiding hardware changes.
Fine-tune the end position in 95-125mm during prototype testing until the kinematic motion is perfect.
Adjust the back position on the fly for differing part heights without reordering a new cylinder.
Dropping to a 12mm bore yields 56.5N, while no larger PBJ bore exists.
Remember only the retract end is adjustable. Set the rear screw, then re-tighten the lock nut so vibration cannot drift the length. Confirm your bore, 125mm stroke, 30mm window, and mounting choice before ordering.
Quick checklist
The effective stroke range is 95-125mm.
A rear M5x0.8 adjuster screw shortens the retract end up to 30mm; the extend end is fixed. You must re-tighten the lock nut after setting to prevent vibration drift.
