The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ12~25 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ20X75-30 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 ACQJ20X75-30 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with a 20 mm bore and a 75 mm full stroke. An external threaded stop with a lock nut limits the extend end position, providing a usable extend range of 45-75 mm. The retract stroke remains unaffected by this adjustment. Because the piston area is unchanged, the output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this size, yielding 157.1 N push force at 0.5 MPa.
This unit features a 10 mm piston rod and an M5x0.8 female rod-end thread. It uses a fixed elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion. The body includes magnetic-switch grooves, though this specific configuration ships without a magnet. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa, and the standard M5x0.8 port uses PT threading.

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 extend position for varying raw part sizes on a CNC lathe loader without machining custom spacer rings.
Adjust the stroke length on a packaging line diverter to handle different carton widths during rapid product changeover.
Fine-tune the extend end position during prototype assembly press testing to find the optimal insertion depth before locking the nut.
If you need less force, the adjacent 16 mm bore provides 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger 25 mm bore offers 245.4 N push if your application requires more power. A fixed-stroke ACQ20X75 is sufficient if your end position never varies and requires no on-the-fly tuning. To configure this ACQJ model correctly, confirm the 20 mm bore, 75 mm full stroke, 30 mm adjustment window, female rod thread, and whether you need the S magnet option for sensing.
Quick checklist
The force is identical to a standard ACQ20 bore: 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 usable extend range is 45-75 mm, achieved by shortening the 75 mm full stroke by up to the 30 mm adjustment window.
An external M8x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut mechanically limits how far the rod extends, changing only the stroke length and not the piston area, so force remains unchanged. The cylinder uses fixed elastomer bumpers at each end for deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion. This model lacks a magnet, though the body retains sensor grooves for adding switches if needed later.
