Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ16X60-10S
The AirTAC Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ16X60-10S 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 60mm stroke with a 10mm fine-adjustable window — settable from 50 to 60mm, so you set the end position without changing hardware.

About the Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ16X60-10S
The AirTAC PBJ16X60-10S is a double-acting, double-rod pen-size mini cylinder with a 10mm adjustable window. A rear M5x0.8 adjuster screw shortens the retract end, giving an effective stroke range of 50-60mm. The extend end remains fixed.
The Ø16mm bore uses an M5x0.8 air port and an M10x1.0 rod-end thread. A fixed TPU bumper decelerates the last few millimeters of travel. The built-in magnet (-S) supports reed or electronic switches.

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 PBJ16X60-10S Is Used
Changeover Fixtures
Dial in the exact retract distance when swapping product families on shared machining jigs without machining new stops.
Trial Positioning
Find the optimal insertion depth during R&D testing by adjusting the back-out screw within the 50-60mm range before locking the nut.
Is the Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ16X60-10S the Right Cylinder?
Remember that only the retract position is field-settable; the extend end is fixed. Always re-tighten the lock nut after setting the rear screw to prevent vibration drift. Confirm your ordering essentials: 16mm bore, 60mm stroke, 10mm window, S magnet, and any LB or FA mounting hardware.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Need to fine-tune the end position on site
- ✓ Retract end sits within 50–60 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 PBJ16X60-10S FAQ
The effective stroke range is 50-60mm (60mm nominal minus a 10mm window). 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.
A rear M5x0.8 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 cylinder does not hold position on air loss—the piston drifts, and the fixed TPU bumper only decelerates near the stroke end. Use an external stop for fail-safe holding.
