The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ12~25 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ20X90-100SB is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø20mm bore and 90mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The AirTAC ACQJ20X90-100SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with an external threaded stop and lock nut that limits the extend end position. You can fine-tune the usable extend range from 0 up to 90 mm directly on the machine without swapping parts, while the retract stroke remains unaffected. It features a 10 mm piston rod and an M5x0.8 port.
Because the adjuster only alters stroke length and not the piston area, output force stays identical to a standard ACQ of this bore. You get 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, 117.8 N pull, and 219.9 N push at 0.7 MPa. The body includes fixed elastomer bumpers for end-of-stroke damping and magnetic grooves 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.

Quickly alter the extend endpoint on a packaging line when switching between different carton depths.
Safely test various extend end points on a new assembly fixture to find the optimal operating distance.
If you need less thrust, dropping to a 16 mm bore yields 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to a 25 mm bore provides 245.4 N. A fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder is sufficient if your end position never requires adjustment. To order this adjustable unit correctly, confirm the 20 mm bore, 90 mm full stroke, 100 mm window, the -S magnet for electronic or reed switches, and the -B male M8x1.25 rod thread.
Quick checklist
It delivers 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 0-90 mm because the 100 mm adjustment window can shorten the 90 mm full stroke.
An M8x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut mechanically limits how far the rod extends, leaving retract stroke and piston force completely unchanged. Deceleration relies on fixed elastomer bumpers rather than adjustable air cushions, so you should slow high-speed approaches or add external shock absorbers.
