About the Airtac ACQJ12~25 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ16X45-10B
The AirTAC ACQJ16X45-10B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a male-thread piston rod and an external extend stop. An M6x1.0 threaded adjuster with a lock nut lets you fine-tune the extend end position on the machine, providing a usable extend range of 35 to 45 mm without swapping parts. The retract stroke remains fixed at the full 45 mm.
Because the piston area stays constant, output force matches a standard ACQ exactly, yielding 100.5 N push and 75.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa. The 16 mm bore uses an M5x0.8 port and fixed elastomer bumpers for end-of-stroke deceleration. This variant ships without a sensor magnet, though the body retains magnetic-switch grooves for future upgrades.

| Model | Airtac ACQJ12~25 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ16X45-10B |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQJ JIS compact adjustable-stroke cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø16 mm |
| Full stroke | 45 mm |
| Adjuster thread | M6×1.0 |
| Port size | M5×0.8 |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.15 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 30 – 500 mm/s |
| Rod thread | M4×0.7 (F) / M6×1.0 (B) |
Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACQJ datasheet. The adjustable stop shortens the EXTEND stroke only; the piston area — and therefore the force — is the same as a standard ACQ of this bore. Adjustable window options: 10/20/30/40/50/75/100 mm.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø16mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 101 N | 75 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 141 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 21 kgf | |
Force equals a standard ACQ of the same bore — the adjuster changes stroke length, not piston area. Actual usable force is lower due to friction; size with a safety margin.

Where the Airtac ACQJ12~25 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ16X45-10B Is Used
Routing Head Depth Setting
Dial in the exact plunging depth of a routing or drilling head across different material thicknesses using the external stop, avoiding parts changes.
Carton Flap Folding
Adjust the extend endpoint on the fly for varying carton sizes on a packaging line, ensuring consistent flap tucking without reprogramming.
Light Press Fit Positioning
Set precise trial end positions for inserting small bearings, allowing operators to tweak the 35-45 mm extend distance directly at the fixture.
Is the Airtac ACQJ12~25 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ16X45-10B the Right Cylinder?
Select this 16 mm bore actuator when your setup requires precise extend-end tuning within a 10 mm window. If your application only needs a static 45 mm reach, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder is sufficient. For higher energy impacts at speed, consider adding an external shock absorber since the built-in bumper is non-adjustable. Confirm your ordering essentials: 16 mm bore, 45 mm full stroke, 10 mm adjuster window, male M6x1.0 rod thread, and no magnet. Note that a standard compact cylinder will drift and lose its load on air loss, so specify an external rod lock if fail-safe holding is required.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Need on-machine end-position tuning?
- ✓ Full stroke and adjust window (mm)
- ✓ Force at your working pressure
- ✓ Magnet (S) for sensors?
- ✓ Female (blank) or male (B) rod thread
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Lock the adjuster nut after setting the stop.
- check The stop limits the EXTEND stroke only.
- check Avoid side load on the short piston rod.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac ACQJ12~25 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ16X45-10B FAQ
This cylinder delivers 100.5 N push and 75.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, with a push of 140.8 N at 0.7 MPa and a maximum push of 21 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The usable extend range is 35-45 mm, created by a 10 mm adjustment window on the 45 mm full stroke.
The M6x1.0 external threaded stop with lock nut limits only the extend length, leaving the retract stroke unaffected. Force remains identical to a standard ACQ because the piston area is unchanged. The cylinder uses fixed elastomer bumpers for deceleration and will not hold its load on air loss, requiring an external rod lock for fail-safe positioning.
