The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ140X125-100SB is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø140mm bore and 125mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The AirTAC ACQJ140X125-100SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring an external threaded stop with a lock nut that limits the EXTEND end position. You can fine-tune the usable extend range from 25 mm up to the full 125 mm directly on your machinery, shortening the stroke by up to 100 mm without swapping components. The RETRACT stroke remains completely unaffected, and the adjuster (R M27x2.0 thread) alters stroke length only.
Because the piston area stays the same, output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore, yielding 7696.9 N push and 7294.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa. This big-bore Ø140 variant includes a male-thread piston rod end (M30x1.5) for direct load coupling, a -S magnet for position sensing, and fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end. Operating pressure spans 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, with a PT3/8 port.

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 | 7697 N | 7295 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 10776 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 1570 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 extend stop during product family changeovers on large stamping presses, avoiding the need to machine custom spacers for each new die height.
Adjust the clamping reach on multi-model automotive welding fixtures, tuning the 25-125 mm extend range to accommodate varying part thicknesses rapidly.
Set precise end positions for heavy-duty palletizing arms handling different pallet heights, using the external stop to fine-tune the downward plunge without reprogramming valves.
Selecting this 140 mm bore provides 7696.9 N push at 0.5 MPa, sitting between the Ø125 (6135.9 N) and Ø160 (10053.1 N) compact frames. If your end position never varies, a fixed-stroke ACQ suffices; otherwise, this adjustable unit allows on-the-fly extend tuning. Confirm your ordering essentials: 140 mm bore, 125 mm full stroke, 100 mm window, -S magnet, and -B male rod thread.
Quick checklist
It delivers 7696.9 N push and 7294.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 10775.7 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 1570 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The usable extend range is 25-125 mm (125 mm full stroke minus a 100 mm window). The bore is 140 mm, the piston rod is Ø32 mm, the port is PT3/8, the male rod thread is M30x1.5, and the external adjuster thread is M27x2.0.
No, the external stop only limits how far the rod extends; the piston area is unchanged, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. The cylinder uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions. For fail-safe load holding on air loss, you must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve, as the fixed bumper only decelerates near the stroke end.
