The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ125X175-30SB is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø125mm bore and 175mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The ACQJ125X175-30SB is a big-bore JIS compact, double-acting single-rod cylinder featuring an external M27x2.0 threaded stop and lock nut. This mechanism limits the extend end position, providing a usable forward travel range of 145 to 175 mm. The return stroke remains completely unaffected. Because the piston area stays constant, output force equals that of a standard ACQ of this size.
Equipped with a male M30x1.5 piston rod end (-B) and a built-in magnet (-S), it couples directly to the load and supports both reed and solid-state sensors. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa, and the unit relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion.

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 | 6136 N | 5734 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 8590 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 1251 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 145-175 mm clamping reach on large press setups without machining custom spacers during product changeover.
Fine-tune the extend end position on the fly for varying chassis dimensions, relying on the 6135.9 N push force to seat heavy components.
Adjust the external stop to set precise lifting heights for different pallet sizes while the fixed elastomer bumper manages end-of-travel impact.
For 0.5 MPa push requirements, the smaller bore 100 yields 3927.0 N, whereas this 125 mm bore delivers 6135.9 N; stepping up to bore 140 provides 7696.9 N. Choose this specific model when your fixture needs 145-175 mm of forward travel and direct male rod mounting. If the exact 175 mm forward position never varies, a fixed-stroke ACQ suffices. Confirm ordering essentials: 125 mm bore, 175 mm full stroke, 30 mm window, -S magnet, and -B male rod thread.
Quick checklist
The usable extend range is 145-175 mm (a 30 mm window off the 175 mm full stroke). Force is identical to a standard ACQ: push is 6135.9 N and pull is 5733.8 N at 0.5 MPa, push is 8590.3 N at 0.7 MPa, and maximum push is 1251 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external M27x2.0 threaded stop with a lock nut mechanically limits forward travel, shortening the stroke without changing piston area, so force is unchanged. The cylinder uses a fixed elastomer bumper, not an adjustable cushion; for fail-safe load holding on air loss, add an external rod lock.
