Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ16X150-75S
The AirTAC Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ16X150-75S 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 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 PBJ16X150-75S
The AirTAC PBJ16X150-75S is a double-acting, double-rod pen-size mini cylinder featuring a 75mm adjustable stroke window. A rear adjuster screw with a lock nut shortens the retract end, giving an effective stroke range of 75 to 150mm. The extend end remains fixed. The M5x0.8 air port and M10x1.0 rod-end thread match the 16mm bore specification. A fixed TPU bumper cushions each end.
The SUS304 stainless rod and barrel provide a slim profile for tight jigs and end-of-arm tooling. The built-in magnet (-S) works with reed or electronic switches. The Ø5mm rod handles coaxial thrust, but over long strokes add an external guide to prevent side-load deflection.

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 PBJ16X150-75S Is Used
Changeover Fixtures
Dial in the retract stop on the shop floor to switch product families without machining new hard stops.
Trial Stops
Fine-tune the back position during R&D testing to find the exact insertion depth before locking the nut.
Variable Depth Pressing
Set the retract end to press components to varying depths on the same jig without swapping hardware.
Is the Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ16X150-75S the Right Cylinder?
Remember that only the retract position is field-adjustable, so verify your extend-end layout clearance. After setting the 75-150mm range, re-tighten the lock nut firmly, as vibration can drift an unlocked screw. Confirm your ordering essentials: 16mm bore, 150mm nominal stroke, 75mm window, S magnet, and any LB or FA mounting code.
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 PBJ16X150-75S FAQ
The effective stroke range is 75 to 150mm.
The M5x0.8 rear screw shortens the retract end only; the extend end is fixed. You must re-tighten the lock nut after setting to prevent vibration drift. The built-in S magnet works with reed or electronic switches.
