The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ12~25 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ25X45-10SB is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø25mm bore and 45mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The ACQJ25X45-10SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring an external threaded stop and lock nut to fine-tune the extend end position. With a 10mm adjustment window, the usable extend range runs from 35mm up to the full 45mm, while the retract stroke remains completely unaffected. You can dial in the exact stroke on the machine without swapping components.
Because the piston area stays constant, output force matches a standard ACQ of the same bore, delivering 245.4N push at 0.5MPa. This bore 25 variant includes a male M10x1.25 rod end (-B) for direct load coupling and a built-in piston magnet (-S) compatible with reed or solid-state switches. It uses 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 | 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 extend range from 35 to 45mm to accommodate varying raw material thicknesses on a milling fixture without machining new spacer blocks.
Quickly reposition the external stop to adapt product pusher end positions during format size changes on a packaging line.
Establish the precise 35-45mm extend end point during prototype assembly machines before locking down the final mechanical hard stop.
If your setup requires less push, the bore 20 version provides 157.1N at 0.5MPa; stepping up to bore 32 yields 402.1N. Choose this 25mm bore if 245.4N push and 188.9N pull at 0.5MPa fit your motion requirements. If the end position never varies, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder is sufficient. When ordering, confirm the 45mm full stroke, 10mm window, S magnet, and B male rod thread.
Quick checklist
It provides 245.4N push and 188.9N pull at 0.5MPa, 343.6N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum push of 50kgf at 1.0MPa. The usable extend range is 35-45mm, created by a 10mm adjustment window on the 45mm full stroke.
An M10x1.25 threaded screw with a lock nut limits the extend length without changing piston area, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. The cylinder uses fixed elastomer bumpers instead of adjustable air cushions, and it will not hold a load on air loss without an external rod lock.
