The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ125X300-30SB 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 ACQJ125X300-30SB is a double-acting, single-rod JIS compact cylinder engineered for big-bore applications requiring precise extend positioning. An external M27x2.0 threaded stop and lock nut restricts the outward stroke, yielding a usable extend span of 270 to 300 mm. The return stroke remains completely unaffected. Because the internal piston area stays constant, output force equals a standard ACQ of this exact size.
This variant includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) compatible with reed or solid-state electronic switches, plus a male M30x1.5 rod-end thread (-B) for direct load coupling. Deceleration relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end. Operating pressure spans 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, and the PT3/8 port handles high flow rates for heavy-duty cycles.

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.

When sizing this 125 mm bore unit, dropping down to a 100 mm bore yields 3927.0 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a 140 mm bore provides 7696.9 N push. Choose this adjustable model only if your setup requires frequent end-position tweaking; a fixed-stroke ACQ suffices for static stops. Confirm your ordering essentials: 125 mm bore, 300 mm full stroke, 30 mm window, S magnet, and B male rod thread.
Quick checklist
The usable extend range is 270 to 300 mm (full 300 mm stroke minus the 30 mm window). Force is identical to a standard ACQ: 6135.9 N push and 5733.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 8590.3 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 1251 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The M27x2.0 threaded stop with lock nut limits only the outward stroke; the retract stroke is unaffected. Force remains unchanged because the piston area is the same. Fixed NBR bumpers decelerate the load at stroke ends. For fail-safe load holding on air loss, add an external rod lock, as a plain ACQ-type cylinder will drift.
