The AirTAC Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ16X75-50S 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 75mm stroke with a 50mm fine-adjustable window — settable from 25 to 75mm, so you set the end position without changing hardware.
The AirTAC PBJ16X75-50S is a double-acting, double-rod pen-size mini cylinder with a 50mm adjustable window. A rear screw and lock nut shorten the retract end, giving an effective stroke range of 25-75mm. You can tune the length on the machine without buying new hardware. The extend end remains fixed.
The slim SUS304 stainless body uses an M5x0.8 port and an M10x1.0 rod-end thread. A fixed TPU bumper cushions both ends. Because the rod is only Ø5mm, add an external guide for off-axis loads over long strokes.

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.
| 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.

Fixed body — no separate back-cover code. Mounting accessories: LB, FA. Related PB-family variants: PB (fixed stroke), PBD (double rod), PBR (front-mount).
Quickly tune the 25-75mm retract length on the machine when swapping product families, avoiding hardware changes.
Dial in the exact back position during prototyping, then lock the nut for consistent repeatable results.
Set precise press-in depths for different components using the rear adjuster without needing multiple cylinders.
Stepping down to a 12mm bore yields 56.5N, while moving up is necessary for heavier demands.
Remember that only the retract position is settable; the extend end is fixed. Always re-tighten the lock nut after setting the rear M5x0.8 adjuster screw to prevent vibration drift. Confirm your ordering essentials: 16mm bore, 75mm nominal stroke, 50mm window, S magnet, and mounting.
Quick checklist
The effective stroke range is 25-75mm. At 0.5MPa, push force is 100.5N and pull is 90.7N. At the 0.7MPa maximum, push is 140.7N and pull is 126.9N. Adjusting the stroke does not alter these forces.
The rear screw shortens the retract end while the extend end stays fixed. Re-tighten the lock nut after setting to prevent vibration drift. The S suffix means a built-in piston magnet works with AirTAC reed or electronic switches.
