The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ12~25 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ20X70-10SB is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø20mm bore and 70mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The AirTAC ACQJ20X70-10SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 20mm bore and 70mm full stroke. An external M8x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut lets you fine-tune the extend end position on the machine, providing a usable extension range of 60-70mm. The retract stroke remains completely unaffected by this adjustment.
Because the piston area is unchanged, output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this size, yielding 157.1N push and 117.8N pull at 0.5MPa. The unit includes a male M8x1.25 rod-end thread (-B) for direct load coupling and a built-in piston magnet (-S) for position sensing. Fixed elastomer bumpers handle end-of-stroke deceleration.

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.
| 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.

At 0.5MPa, this 20mm bore generates 157.1N push force. If your application requires less force, the 16mm bore provides 100.5N push, while stepping up to the 25mm bore yields 245.4N push. Choose this adjustable version when setup requires varying the extend endpoint without swapping components; otherwise, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder is sufficient. Confirm ordering details: 20mm bore, 70mm full stroke, 10mm window, -S magnet, and -B male rod thread.
Quick checklist
This 20mm bore cylinder has a 70mm full stroke with a 10mm adjustable window, giving a usable extend range of 60-70mm. Force is identical to a standard ACQ: 157.1N push and 117.8N pull at 0.5MPa, 219.9N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum push of 32kgf at 1.0MPa.
An external M8x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut limits the extend stroke without changing the piston area, so force remains unchanged. The retract stroke is unaffected. Deceleration is handled by fixed elastomer bumpers at both ends, not an adjustable air cushion.
