The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ12~25 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ20X90-50SB 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 ACQJ20X90-50SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with an external extend-stop mechanism. A threaded screw and lock nut limit forward travel, letting you dial in the end position from 40 to 90 mm directly on the machine. The return stroke remains completely unaffected.
Because the piston area stays the same, output force equals a standard ACQ of this size. You get 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, with a 10 mm rod and M8x1.25 male thread. It includes a piston magnet for solid-state or reed sensors and fixed elastomer bumpers for end-of-stroke deceleration.

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 depth for varying raw material thicknesses on a machining center without swapping cylinders.
Adjust the folding flap extension on the fly when switching between different box sizes on a packaging line.
Fine-tune the material back-stop position during trial bends to achieve precise metal angles before full production.
Choosing this 20 mm bore gives 157.1 N push and 117.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, the 16 mm bore drops to 100.5 N push; stepping up to 25 mm yields 245.4 N. A fixed-stroke ACQ works if your end position never varies, but this adjustable unit saves time during product changeovers. Confirm your ordering needs: 90 mm full stroke, 50 mm adjust window, S magnet, and B male rod end.
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 full stroke is 90 mm, and with the 50 mm window, the usable extend range is 40 to 90 mm.
An M8x1.25 external screw with a lock nut limits forward travel, shortening the stroke without changing piston area, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. Fixed elastomer bumpers decelerate the rod near the ends, but the cylinder will not hold a load on air loss; use an external rod lock for fail-safe holding.
