Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ16X35-10S
The AirTAC PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ16X35-10S 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 35mm stroke with a 10mm fine-adjustable window — settable from 25 to 35mm, so you set the end position without changing hardware.

About the Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ16X35-10S
The AirTAC PBJ16X35-10S is a double-acting, double-rod pen-size mini cylinder with a 10mm adjustable window. A rear M5x0.8 adjuster screw and lock nut shorten the retract end, giving an effective stroke range of 25-35mm. The extend end remains fixed.
Built with a SUS304 stainless rod and barrel, this slim 16mm bore cylinder saves space in tight jigs. The -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet for reed or electronic switches. It uses 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 PBJ16X35-10S Is Used
Changeover Fixtures
Dial in the exact 25-35mm retract position during product changeovers without machining new stop spacers.
Trial Stops
Set temporary end-of-stroke limits for prototype testing, then lock the M5x0.8 adjuster nut to secure the position.
Variable-Depth Insertion
Adjust the retract depth on the fly for pressing parts of varying heights without swapping the cylinder.
Is the Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ16X35-10S the Right Cylinder?
Remember that only the retract position is field-settable, while the extend end is fixed. After dialing in your 25-35mm range, re-tighten the lock nut to prevent vibration drift.
Confirm your ordering essentials: 16mm bore, 35mm nominal stroke, 10mm window, S magnet, and your preferred mounting. The Ø5mm piston rod is built for coaxial thrust, so add an external guide if your application involves off-axis loads.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Need to fine-tune the end position on site
- ✓ Retract end sits within 25–35 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 PBJ16X35-10S FAQ
The effective stroke range is 25-35mm. At 0.5 MPa, push force is 100.5N and pull is 90.7N. At the 0.7 MPa maximum, push is 140.7N and pull is 126.9N. Adjusting the stroke does not alter these forces.
The rear screw shortens only the retract end, while the extend end is fixed. You must re-tighten the lock nut after setting to prevent vibration drift. The S suffix means a built-in magnet is present, compatible with AirTAC reed or electronic switches.
