The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ125X75-40SB is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø125mm bore and 75mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The ACQJ125X75-40SB is a double-acting, single-rod JIS compact cylinder built for big-bore pneumatic tasks up to 300 mm standard stroke. It includes a male piston rod thread (M30x1.5) for direct load coupling and a PT3/8 port. Because it carries an -S magnet, its integrated sensor grooves readily accept reed or solid-state switches for position detection.
This variant features a 40 mm adjustable window, meaning you can fine-tune the extend end position on the machine across a 35 to 75 mm usable range via the external M27x2.0 threaded stop and lock nut. The retract stroke remains completely unaffected. Modifying the end stop alters only the travel length; the piston area stays the same, so force output remains identical to a standard ACQ of this bore, yielding 6135.9 N push and 5733.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa.

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 35 to 75 mm extend position during metal-stamping fixture swaps without machining new spacer plates or changing the cylinder.
Modify large-product end-of-line stops on the fly to accommodate varying pallet lengths, utilizing the full 1251 kgf maximum thrust for heavy pushing.
Test and tweak the extend endpoint for different carton sizes on a packaging line, relying on the fixed NBR bumper to absorb end-of-stroke energy.
When sizing this unit, dropping to the 100 mm bore lowers the 0.5 MPa push force to 3927.0 N, while stepping up to the 160 mm bore raises it to 10053.1 N. If your application never requires altering the extend endpoint, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder provides the same thrust in a simpler layout. To order this adjustable version correctly, confirm the 125 mm bore, 75 mm full stroke, 40 mm window, -S magnet, and -B male rod end.
Quick checklist
It delivers 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 75 mm full stroke has a 40 mm adjustable window, providing a usable extend range of 35 to 75 mm, while the retract stroke remains fixed.
An external M27x2.0 threaded stop with a lock nut limits the extend travel, allowing on-machine endpoint tuning without changing parts. The adjustment changes stroke length only, so force stays identical to a standard ACQ. Deceleration is handled by a fixed elastomer bumper at each end, not an adjustable air cushion.
