The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ12~25 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ20X75-20SB 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 ACQJ20X75-20SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with an external threaded stop that lets you fine-tune the extend end position directly on your equipment. With a 75mm full stroke and a 20mm adjustment window, the usable extend range spans 55 to 75mm. The retract stroke remains completely unaffected by this mechanism. An M8x1.25 male rod thread couples directly to your load.
Because the adjustment only limits travel length and not piston area, output force stays identical to a standard ACQ of this bore. You get 157.1N push and 117.8N pull at 0.5MPa. The body incorporates fixed elastomer bumpers for end-of-stroke deceleration and features magnetic-switch grooves. Equipped with the -S magnet, it operates seamlessly with both reed and solid-state electronic sensors.

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 without machining new spacers, accommodating different raw material thicknesses on the fly.
Rapidly reposition the extend endpoint for varying carton sizes on a packaging line by turning the external stop screw and tightening the lock nut.
Test and set precise press-in depths for component insertion on an assembly machine, finding the optimal end point before locking it down.
Choosing this 20mm bore provides 157.1N push at 0.5MPa. If your application requires less force, stepping down to a 16mm bore yields 100.5N push, while moving up to a 25mm bore provides 245.4N push. A fixed-stroke ACQ is sufficient if your end position never varies. When ordering, confirm the 75mm full stroke, 20mm window, the -S magnet, and the -B male rod thread. Note that a plain compact cylinder drifts if air pressure is lost; utilize an external rod lock for fail-safe load holding.
Quick checklist
It delivers 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 usable extend range is 55 to 75mm, created by a 20mm adjustment window on the 75mm full stroke.
An M8x1.25 external threaded screw with a lock nut limits the extend travel, allowing on-machine tuning without changing parts. It alters stroke length only, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. The cylinder uses fixed elastomer bumpers for deceleration, not adjustable air cushions.
