The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ12~25 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ20X75-75SB 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 ACQJ20X75-75SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with an external threaded stop and lock nut that limits the extend end position. By turning the M8x1.25 adjuster screw, you can shorten the extend travel anywhere within a usable range of 0 to 75 mm. The retract stroke remains completely unaffected, allowing precise on-machine end-position tuning without swapping parts.
Because the piston area is unchanged, the output force stays identical to a standard ACQ of this bore. At 0.5 MPa, it provides a push force of 157.1 N and a pull force of 117.8 N. This unit includes a male M8x1.25 piston rod end for direct load coupling and a built-in magnet (-S) for position sensing.

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 endpoint on a CNC fixture to accommodate varying raw material thicknesses without machining custom spacers.
Rapidly reposition the extend stroke on a packaging line when switching between different cardboard box formats and sealing depths.
Establish optimal trial end positions on a new testing rig by tweaking the external stop screw until the desired mechanical contact is found.
When sizing this 20mm bore actuator, stepping down to a 16mm bore drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 100.5 N, while stepping up to a 25mm bore raises it to 245.4 N. If your application never requires altering the extend endpoint, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder is sufficient. To order this adjustable version correctly, confirm the 20mm bore, 75mm full stroke, 75mm adjustment window, the -S magnet for sensors, and the -B male rod thread.
Quick checklist
The usable extend range is 0 to 75 mm. The force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore: push is 157.1 N and pull is 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa, push is 219.9 N at 0.7 MPa, and max push is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external M8x1.25 threaded screw with a lock nut limits the extend stroke only; it changes stroke length, not force. Deceleration is handled by a fixed elastomer bumper at each end. The built-in magnet works with both reed and electronic solid-state switches.
