About the Airtac ACQJ12~25 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ20X60-20
The AirTAC ACQJ20X60-20 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring an external extend-stop mechanism. A threaded M8x1.25 adjuster and lock nut restricts forward travel, yielding a usable extension range of 40 to 60 mm from the 60 mm full stroke. Retraction movement remains completely unaffected. Because the piston area stays constant, output force equals that of a standard ACQ counterpart.
This 20 mm bore unit generates 157.1 N of push force and 117.8 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, peaking at 32 kgf under 1.0 MPa. The body incorporates fixed elastomer bumpers for end-of-stroke deceleration and includes machined grooves for mounting reed or solid-state sensors. Please note this specific configuration ships without a magnetic piston.

| Rod thread | M5×0.8 (F) / M8×1.25 (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 (Ø20mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 157 N | 118 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 220 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 32 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 ACQJ20X60-20 Is Used
CNC Vise Clamping
Dial in exact clamping reach on a CNC mill during prototype runs or when swapping raw material blanks without programming new axis coordinates.
Carton Flap Folding
Modify the folding arm extension on a packaging line to accommodate various box heights quickly, preventing crushing of taller or shorter containers.
Conveyor Transfer Diverter
Set precise diverting distances for product changeovers on a conveyor belt, allowing the stopper rod to adapt to different package widths on the fly.
Is the Airtac ACQJ12~25 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ20X60-20 the Right Cylinder?
If your application requires less thrust, the 16 mm bore variant provides 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to a 25 mm bore yields 245.4 N. Choose this adjustable model when setups demand frequent modifications to the forward end position; otherwise, a fixed-stroke ACQ20 is simpler. Confirm your ordering parameters including the 20 mm bore, 60 mm base stroke, 20 mm window, female rod-end thread, and whether a magnet (-S) is needed for switching.
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 ACQJ20X60-20 FAQ
It delivers 157.1 N push and 117.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 219.9 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The external stop allows the extend stroke to be fine-tuned within a 40 to 60 mm usable range.
An external M8x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut limits the forward extension length without altering the piston area, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. Deceleration is handled by fixed elastomer bumpers at both ends, not an adjustable air cushion.
