Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ16X75-10
The AirTAC Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ16X75-10 is a double-acting pen-size mini cylinder with a rear adjuster screw that shortens the retract end of the stroke. On a Ø16mm bore it gives a nominal 75mm stroke with a 10mm fine-adjustable window — settable from 65 to 75mm, so you set the end position without changing hardware.

About the Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ16X75-10
The AirTAC PBJ16X75-10 is a double-acting, single-rod pen-size mini cylinder featuring a 10mm adjustable-stroke window. A rear adjuster screw shortens the retract end, giving an effective stroke range of 65-75mm. Force remains identical to a standard PB body, delivering 100.5N push and 90.7N pull at 0.5MPa. The M5x0.8 air port and M10x1.0 rod-end thread match the bore standard. The rod is Ø5mm stainless steel. A fixed TPU bumper cushions both ends.
Because the extend end is fixed, layout planning must account for rear-only length changes. After setting your exact dimension, re-tighten the lock nut to prevent vibration drift. For practical sizing, plan for a safe working load of about 60N, which represents roughly 60% of the 0.5MPa theoretical push force to account for seal friction and smooth travel.

|---|---|
| Series | PBJ JIS pen-size adjustable-stroke cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø16 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø5 mm |
| Nominal stroke | 75 mm |
| Adjustable window | 10 mm (65–75 mm) |
| Adjuster thread | M5×0.8 |
| Port size | M5×0.8 |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.15 – 0.7 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.2 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 50 – 800 mm/s |
| Cushion | Elastic bumper (both ends) |
| Max standard stroke | Up to 200 mm |
The adjuster shortens only the retract end; the extend end is fixed. Force is unchanged from the standard PB double-acting cylinder. Confirm the set position against the product label before installation.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø16mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 100.5 N | 90.7 N |
| 0.7 MPa (max) | 140.7 N | 126.9 N |
Adjusting the stroke does not change output force — these are the same values as the standard PB double-acting cylinder of the same bore. Size with a friction margin.

Where the Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ16X75-10 Is Used
Changeover Fixtures
Rapidly adapt product changeover stops on packaging lines by dialing the rear screw to shift the retract position from 65 to 75mm without swapping hardware.
Trial Insertion Depth
Dial in precise press-fit depths during prototype runs by adjusting the retract end, ensuring the 100.5N push force is applied at the exact distance required.
Variable Assembly Stops
Set multiple end-of-stroke positions on automated assembly jigs, locking the M5x0.8 adjuster nut to hold the 65-75mm range securely against vibration.
Is the Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ16X75-10 the Right Cylinder?
This 16mm bore provides 100.5N push at 0.5MPa. Stepping down to a 12mm bore drops the push force to 56.5N, while moving up to a larger profile yields substantially more thrust. Select this 75mm nominal stroke model if your fixture requires a precise 65-75mm field-set retract. Remember that only the back position is adjustable; the extend end remains fixed. Confirm your ordering essentials: 16mm bore, 75mm stroke, 10mm window, no magnet, and your preferred mounting option.
The thin Ø5mm rod is built for coaxial thrust. Over long strokes or with off-axis loads, add an external guide or linear bearing to prevent side-load damage. The fixed TPU bumper only decelerates the last few millimeters, so at higher speeds with real tooling mass, meter-out the exhaust or fit an external shock absorber.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Need to fine-tune the end position on site
- ✓ Retract end sits within 65–75 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 The adjuster shortens the retract end only.
- 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 PBJ16X75-10 FAQ
The effective stroke range is 65-75mm. At 0.5MPa it provides 100.5N push and 90.7N pull. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.7MPa, it yields 140.7N push and 126.9N pull.
A rear adjuster screw with an M5x0.8 thread shortens the retract end by up to 10mm. The extend end is fixed. You must re-tighten the lock nut after setting the desired position to prevent vibration drift. This cylinder does not hold position on air loss without an external stop.
