The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ12~25 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ20X75-20S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø20mm bore and 75mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The AirTAC ACQJ20X75-20S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with a 75mm full stroke and a 20mm adjustable extend window, allowing you to dial in the forward end position anywhere from 55mm to 75mm directly on the machine. An external M8x1.25 threaded stop and lock nut handles this tuning, while the retract stroke remains fixed and unaffected. A built-in magnet (-S) pairs with reed or solid-state switches.
Because the adjuster only limits piston travel, the output force stays identical to a standard ACQ bore 20. You get 157.1N push and 117.8N pull at 0.5MPa, peaking at a 32kgf max push at 1.0MPa. The body uses a fixed elastomer TPU bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion.

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 fixture, allowing operators to shift the extend endpoint between 55mm and 75mm when raw material thickness varies.
Adapt packaging line side-rails instantly by turning the external M8x1.25 adjuster screw, avoiding the need to swap out entire cylinders for new carton formats.
Safely test different extension distances on a new automated assembly rig by limiting the forward travel, preventing crashes during initial mechanical setup.
If you need slightly less push at 0.5MPa, the adjacent bore 12 delivers 56.5N, while stepping up to bore 25 provides 245.4N. A fixed-stroke ACQ is sufficient if your extend endpoint never requires tweaking. To order, confirm the 20mm bore, 75mm full stroke, 20mm window, the -S magnet, and the default female M5x0.8 rod-end thread.
Quick checklist
This 20mm bore cylinder provides 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. The full stroke is 75mm with a 20mm adjustment window, giving a usable extend range of 55-75mm. It features an M5x0.8 port and an M8x1.25 adjuster thread.
No, the force remains identical to a standard ACQ of the same bore because the adjuster only limits how far the rod extends, not the piston area. The retract stroke is unaffected. Deceleration is handled by fixed elastomer bumpers rather than an adjustable air cushion, and the -S magnet works with both reed and electronic switches.
