The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ12~25 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ20X70-75SB 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 ACQJ20X70-75SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring an external threaded stop with a lock nut that limits the extend end position. You can fine-tune the usable extend travel anywhere from 0 mm up to the full 70 mm stroke directly on the machine, while the retract stroke remains completely unaffected. Because the piston area stays constant, output force equals a standard ACQ of the same bore.
This 20 mm bore unit pushes 157.1 N and pulls 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa. It incorporates a fixed elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration and includes a male M8x1.25 rod-end thread (-B) for direct load coupling. The integrated piston magnet (-S) supports both reed and electronic solid-state switches via the body grooves.

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.

Dial in the exact clamping reach on a CNC mill fixture without machining new spacers, accommodating multiple raw part heights using the 0-70 mm travel window.
Adjust the extend endpoint rapidly on a packaging line when switching to a different carton size, relying on the external M8x1.25 adjuster screw to set the new position.
Find the precise insertion depth for pressing bearings during prototype runs, testing various positions safely before locking the nut down for production.
For lower force requirements, the 16 mm bore yields 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to a 25 mm bore provides 245.4 N push. If your extend endpoint never varies, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder is simpler and sufficient. When ordering this adjustable model, confirm the 20 mm bore, 70 mm full stroke, 75 mm window, the -S magnet, and the -B male rod thread.
Quick checklist
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 full stroke is 70 mm with a 75 mm adjustable window, giving a usable extend range of 0-70 mm. The retract stroke is unaffected.
The external M8x1.25 threaded stop with lock nut mechanically limits how far the rod extends, shortening the stroke length only. The force remains identical to a standard ACQ because the piston area is unchanged. Deceleration relies on a fixed elastomer bumper, not an adjustable air cushion.
