The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ12~25 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ25X25-20B is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø25mm bore and 25mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The AirTAC ACQJ25X25-20B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with an external extend stop. A threaded screw and lock nut limit the outward stroke, giving a usable extend range of 5-25 mm from the 25 mm base length. The return stroke remains completely unaffected.
Output force matches a standard ACQ because the piston area is unchanged. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 245.4 N push and 188.9 N pull. The body includes magnetic switch grooves, though this specific unit ships without a magnet. It features a male M10x1.25 rod end and fixed elastomer bumpers at each end.

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 | 245 N | 189 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 344 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 50 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 lathe without machining new spacers, shortening the extend stroke up to 20 mm on the fly.
Adjust the push depth for varying box flap heights on a packaging line, relying on the fixed elastomer bumper to absorb end impacts.
Switch guide rails on a conveyor system by turning the external M10x1.25 adjuster to set the new 5 to 25 mm extend endpoint.
If 188.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa is insufficient, stepping up to the 32 mm bore raises push to 402.1 N. Conversely, the 20 mm bore offers 157.1 N push if a lighter footprint is acceptable. Choose a fixed-stroke ACQ if your end position never requires tweaking. Confirm the 25 mm bore, 25 mm base stroke, 20 mm adjuster window, male rod thread, and no magnet for this build.
Quick checklist
This cylinder provides 245.4 N push and 188.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 343.6 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The usable extend range is 5-25 mm, meaning the 25 mm full stroke can be shortened by up to 20 mm.
No, the adjuster only limits the extend length, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ of the same bore. The retract stroke is unaffected. The unit uses fixed elastomer bumpers for end deceleration and lacks a sensor magnet, though grooves are present.
