The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ12~25 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ20X75-75 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 ACQJ20X75-75 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 range from 0 up to 75 mm directly on your machinery without swapping components. The retract stroke remains completely unaffected by this adjustment.
Because the piston area stays constant, output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore, delivering 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa. This variant uses a fixed elastomer TPU bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion. The body incorporates magnetic-switch grooves, though this specific unit ships without a sensing magnet installed.

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 milling fixture. The external stop lets operators shift the extend endpoint to accommodate raw parts with varying raw material thicknesses.
Adjust the folding flap position on a packaging line during product changeover. You can shorten the extend stroke from 75 mm down to zero without disassembling the machine.
Set trial end positions for a small metal bending press. The lock nut secures the adjusted length, while the fixed elastomer bumper absorbs the impact at the end of travel.
When sizing this 20 mm bore actuator, stepping down to a 16 mm bore drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 100.5 N, while moving up to a 25 mm bore increases it to 245.4 N. If your equipment requires a fixed extend endpoint every cycle, a standard ACQ cylinder will suffice and avoids the external adjuster hardware. To order this adjustable version correctly, confirm the 20 mm bore, 75 mm full stroke, 75 mm adjustment window, female M5x0.8 rod-end thread, and whether you require the S magnet option for position sensing.
Quick checklist
This 20 mm bore cylinder provides a push force of 157.1 N and a pull force of 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa, with a push of 219.9 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The usable extend range is 0-75 mm, created by the 75 mm full stroke minus the 75 mm adjustment window.
The adjuster is an M8x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut on the rod-end side that mechanically limits how far the rod extends, without changing the piston area or reducing the output force. Deceleration is handled by a fixed elastomer bumper, not an adjustable air cushion, so for high kinetic energy loads you should add an external shock absorber.
