The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ125X300-30S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø125mm bore and 300mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The AirTAC ACQJ125X300-30S is a double-acting, single-rod JIS compact cylinder featuring a big 125mm bore and a 300mm full stroke. An external M27x2.0 threaded stop with a lock nut restricts the extend end position, providing a usable forward travel range of 270-300mm. The return stroke remains completely unaffected by this mechanism.
Because the piston area stays constant, output force equals a standard ACQ of this size, delivering 6135.9N push and 5733.8N pull at 0.5MPa. The unit incorporates fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends and a built-in piston magnet (-S) compatible with reed or electronic solid-state switches. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0MPa.

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.

Dialing in the exact clamping depth on a large metal-forming press without machining custom spacers for every new die set.
Adapting end positions rapidly on automated conveyor lines when switching between different pallet or product footprint sizes.
Testing multiple extend endpoints during prototype assembly station trials to find the optimal holding position for bulky components.
For 0.5MPa push needs around 7696.9N, step up to the 160mm bore; if 6135.9N is excessive, the 140mm bore yields 7696.9N. Choose this specific big-bore compact variant when your fixture requires trial end positions or product-changeover stops. Verify your ordering essentials: 125mm bore, 300mm full stroke, 30mm adjust window, S magnet, and the default female M22x2.5 rod end.
Quick checklist
At 0.5MPa it provides 6135.9N push and 5733.8N pull; at 0.7MPa push is 8590.3N; maximum push is 1251kgf at 1.0MPa. The full stroke is 300mm, and the external stop allows an adjustable extend range of 270-300mm.
No, the adjuster only limits forward travel length, leaving the piston area and force identical to a standard ACQ. Deceleration relies on fixed elastomer bumpers at both ends, not adjustable air cushions, so external shock absorbers are recommended for high-energy loads.
