The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ12~25 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ20X70-50S 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 ACQJ20X70-50S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with a 20mm bore and 70mm full stroke, equipped with a piston magnet (-S). An external M8x1.25 threaded stop and lock nut lets you fine-tune the extend end position on the machine, providing a usable forward range of 20 to 70mm. The retract stroke remains completely unaffected by this adjustment.
Because the piston area stays the same, output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this size. The design features a fixed elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration and includes magnetic-switch grooves compatible with reed or solid-state sensors. It uses a 10mm rod with an M5x0.8 female thread and an M5x0.8 port.

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.

Quickly dial in the extend stroke from 20 to 70mm when switching between part families on a packaging line, avoiding the need to swap physical spacers.
Safely test and set exact clamping depth on a machining fixture by limiting the forward travel before committing to a fixed hard stop.
Accommodate varying workpiece heights in automated assembly by tweaking the external lock nut to alter the final extend position on the fly.
If you need slightly less push, the 16mm bore yields 100.5N at 0.5MPa, whereas stepping up to the 25mm bore provides 245.4N. A fixed-stroke ACQ is sufficient if your end position never varies, but this adjustable model saves time during product changeovers. When ordering, confirm the 20mm bore, 70mm base stroke, 50mm adjuster window, the -S magnet, and your required rod thread.
Quick checklist
The usable extend range is 20-70mm (a 70mm full stroke shortened by up to a 50mm window). Force is identical to a standard ACQ: push is 157.1N and pull is 117.8N at 0.5MPa, push is 219.9N at 0.7MPa, and maximum push is 32kgf at 1.0MPa.
An external M8x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut limits the forward travel without changing the piston area, so force remains unchanged. The cylinder uses fixed elastomer bumpers for deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions, and the -S magnet works with both reed and electronic solid-state switches.
