Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ16X60-40
The AirTAC Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ16X60-40 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 40mm fine-adjustable window — settable from 20 to 60mm, so you set the end position without changing hardware.

About the Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ16X60-40
The AirTAC PBJ16X60-40 is a double-acting, adjustable-stroke pen cylinder featuring a 16mm bore and a 60mm nominal stroke. A rear adjuster screw with an M5x0.8 thread shortens the retract end, giving an effective stroke range of 20-60mm. You can tune the length on the machine without swapping hardware. The extend end remains fixed.
Output force equals the standard PB body of this bore, meaning the adjuster carries zero force penalty. The slim SUS304 stainless body 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 PBJ16X60-40 Is Used
Changeover Fixtures
Dial in the retract end from 20 to 60mm during product changeovers without machining new stop collars.
Trial Insertion Stops
Fine-tune insertion depth on test jigs to find the exact 20-60mm travel before locking the nut.
Is the Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ16X60-40 the Right Cylinder?
This makes the PBJ16 ideal when the smaller bore lacks thrust. Remember that only the retract position is adjustable; the extend end is fixed. After setting your 20-60mm range, re-tighten the lock nut because vibration can drift an unlocked screw. Confirm your ordering essentials: 16mm bore, 60mm nominal stroke, 40mm window, and any required LB or FA mount.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Need to fine-tune the end position on site
- ✓ Retract end sits within 20–60 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 PBJ16X60-40 FAQ
The effective stroke range is 20-60mm.
The rear M5x0.8 adjuster screw shortens only the retract end, while the extend end stays fixed. You must re-tighten the lock nut after setting your desired length to prevent vibration drift.
