Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ16X130-40S
The AirTAC PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ16X130-40S 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 130mm stroke with a 40mm fine-adjustable window — settable from 90 to 130mm, so you set the end position without changing hardware.

About the Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ16X130-40S
The AirTAC PBJ16X130-40S is a double-acting, double-rod pen-size mini cylinder featuring a 40mm adjustable window. A rear adjuster screw with a lock nut shortens the retract end, giving an effective stroke range of 90-130mm. The extend end remains fixed.
This model includes a built-in piston magnet for use with reed or electronic switches. The slim SUS304 stainless body has an M5x0.8 air port and a fixed TPU bumper at each end.

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 (Ø16mm)
| 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.

Where the Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ16X130-40S Is Used
Changeover Fixtures
Dial in the exact retract stop during product family changeovers without machining new hard stops.
Trial Insertion Stops
Fine-tune insertion depth on test assemblies, locking the nut once the perfect position is found.
Variable Depth Press
Set specific press depths on the fly for different parts using the 90-130mm effective range.
Is the Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ16X130-40S the Right Cylinder?
Remember that only the retract position is adjustable; the extend end is fixed. Always re-tighten the lock nut after setting the 90-130mm range to prevent vibration drift.
The Ø5mm rod is designed for coaxial thrust; over this 130mm stroke, add an external linear bearing if any off-axis load is present. At high speeds with heavy tooling, the fixed TPU bumper may bottom out, so meter-out the exhaust or add an external shock absorber. Confirm ordering essentials: 16mm bore, 130mm stroke, 40mm window, S magnet, and any LB or FA mount.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Need to fine-tune the end position on site
- ✓ Retract end sits within 90–130 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.
