The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ125X75-50S 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 AirTAC ACQJ125X75-50S is a double-acting, single-rod JIS compact cylinder from the big-bore range, featuring an external threaded stop with a lock nut that limits the extend end position. You can fine-tune the forward stroke on the machine itself within a usable range of 25 to 75 mm, while the retract stroke remains completely unaffected.
Because the piston area stays the same, output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this size, delivering 6135.9 N push at 0.5 MPa. The unit incorporates fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end for end-of-travel deceleration and includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) for use with reed or solid-state electronic switches.

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 big-bore 125 mm unit, consider the neighboring bores for force scaling: the 100 mm bore yields 3927.0 N push, whereas the 140 mm bore provides 7696.9 N push at 0.5 MPa. If your application never requires end-position adjustments, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder provides the same holding force in a simpler setup. To order, confirm the 125 mm bore, 75 mm full stroke, 50 mm adjuster window, the -S magnet option, and the default female M22x2.5 rod-end thread.
Quick checklist
This cylinder 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 full stroke is 75 mm with a 50 mm adjuster window, allowing a usable extend range of 25 to 75 mm.
The external M27x2.0 threaded stop with a lock nut limits only the extend length, meaning force remains identical to a standard ACQ since piston area is unchanged. The cylinder uses fixed elastomer bumpers for deceleration; it will not hold a load on air loss, so an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required for fail-safe holding.
