Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ16X95-10S
The AirTAC Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ16X95-10S 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 95mm stroke with a 10mm fine-adjustable window — settable from 85 to 95mm, so you set the end position without changing hardware.

About the Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ16X95-10S
The AirTAC PBJ16X95-10S is a double-acting, single-rod pen-size mini cylinder featuring a 10mm adjustable stroke window. A rear adjuster screw shortens the retract end, providing an effective stroke range of 85-95mm. The extend end remains fixed. Output force equals a standard PB cylinder of the same bore, delivering 100.5N push and 90.7N pull at 0.5MPa. The bore is 16mm, the port is M5x0.8, and the rod-end thread is M10x1.0.
The integrated piston magnet (-S) works with AirTAC reed or electronic switches. A fixed TPU bumper decelerates travel at both ends. For practical sizing, plan for a safe working load of about 60N (roughly 60% of the 0.5MPa push force) or a vertical lift capacity of approximately 5.1kg with a 2:1 margin. The Ø5mm rod handles coaxial thrust; use an external guide for off-axis loads over this 95mm stroke.

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 PBJ16X95-10S Is Used
Changeover Fixtures
Dial in the exact retract stop distance on the fly when switching between product variants on a single fixture base.
Trial Stops
Fine-tune the 85-95mm back position during prototype testing to find the optimal engagement depth without machining new parts.
Variable-Depth Insertion
Set precise insertion depths for press-fit operations, relying on the 100.5N push force to seat components reliably.
Is the Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ16X95-10S the Right Cylinder?
For lower force needs, the 12mm bore provides 56.5N push at 0.5MPa. If your application requires more power, this 16mm bore provides 100.5N push. Remember that only the retract position is field-adjustable; the extend end is fixed. After setting your 85-95mm range, re-tighten the lock nut on the M5x0.8 adjuster screw to prevent vibration drift. Confirm your ordering essentials: bore, stroke, window, S magnet, and mounting.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Need to fine-tune the end position on site
- ✓ Retract end sits within 85–95 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 PBJ16X95-10S FAQ
At 0.5MPa it provides 100.5N push and 90.7N pull. At the 0.7MPa maximum, it yields 140.7N push and 126.9N pull. The effective stroke range is 85-95mm, adjusted via a 10mm rear window.
A rear screw shortens the retract end while the extend end stays fixed; always re-tighten the lock nut after setting to prevent vibration drift. A plain cylinder does not hold position on air loss, as the piston drifts and the fixed TPU bumper only decelerates near stroke end. Use an external rod lock for fail-safe holding.
