The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ125X50-50S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø125mm bore and 50mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The ACQJ125X50-50S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 125mm bore and an external extend stop. An M27x2.0 threaded adjuster with a lock nut allows you to fine-tune the extend end position on the machine, providing a usable extend range of 0-50mm from the 50mm full stroke. The retract stroke remains completely unaffected by this mechanism.
Because the adjustment only limits travel and not piston area, output force stays identical to a standard ACQ of this size, generating 6135.9N push at 0.5MPa. This big-bore variant handles up to 300mm strokes and includes a -S piston magnet for positioning feedback. It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions.

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 exact insertion depths on heavy assembly presses without machining new spacers, using the external stop to test different end positions.
Adapt big-bore clamping actuators to varying jig heights during product line changeovers by simply rotating the extend adjuster screw.
Set precise upper lift limits for heavy material handling platforms, relying on the 5733.8N pull force to raise loads safely.
Selecting this 125mm bore provides massive thrust (1251kgf max at 1.0MPa). If you do not require on-machine extend tuning, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder will deliver the same power in a simpler package. When sizing neighbours, stepping down to a 100mm bore yields 3927.0N push, while no larger standard bore exists in this range. Confirm your ordering essentials: 125mm bore, 50mm full stroke, 50mm window, the -S magnet for electronic or reed switches, and the default female M22x2.5 rod-end thread.
Quick checklist
This cylinder delivers 6135.9N push and 5733.8N pull at 0.5MPa, 8590.3N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum push of 1251kgf at 1.0MPa. The 50mm full stroke has a 50mm adjustment window, allowing the usable extend range to be set anywhere from 0 to 50mm.
No, the external M27x2.0 stop limits extend travel only, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. It relies on fixed NBR elastomer bumpers for deceleration, not an adjustable air cushion or load-holding brake. For fail-safe load holding on air loss, use an external rod lock.
