The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ12~25 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ20X90-10SB 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 ACQJ20X90-10SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with an external threaded stop that lets you fine-tune the extend end position directly on your machinery. Out of a 90 mm full stroke, the lock-nut adjuster provides a 10 mm window, yielding a usable extend range of 80 to 90 mm. The retract stroke remains completely unaffected by this mechanism.
Because the piston area stays constant, output force matches a standard ACQ exactly, delivering 157.1 N push and 117.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa. This bore 20 mm unit includes a male M8x1.25 rod end for direct load coupling, an integrated piston magnet for position sensing, and fixed elastomer bumpers at both ends. Operating pressure spans 0.15 to 1.0 MPa with a speed range of 30-500 mm/s.

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 allows operators to compensate for varying part thicknesses without swapping out the cylinder body.
Adjust the stroke length for product changeovers on a packaging line. The 10 mm window lets you fine-tune the diverter push distance to match different carton widths rapidly.
Set precise probe descent depths during trial runs on PCB testing equipment. The lock-nut mechanism holds the 80-90 mm extend position securely against vibration.
Choosing this bore 20 mm unit means needing 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa alongside on-machine extend tuning. If your application requires less force, the bore 16 version provides 100.5 N push, whereas stepping up to a bore 25 cylinder yields 245.4 N. A fixed-stroke ACQ is sufficient if the end position never needs alteration. Confirm ordering essentials: 20 mm bore, 90 mm full stroke, 10 mm window, the -S magnet, 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 10 mm window allows a usable extend range of 80 to 90 mm out of the 90 mm full stroke.
No, the adjuster changes stroke length only, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. The cylinder uses fixed elastomer bumpers at each end for deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion, and the -S magnet works with reed or electronic solid-state switches.
