The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ140X175-100S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø140mm bore and 175mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The AirTAC ACQJ140X175-100S is a double-acting, single-rod JIS compact cylinder engineered for big-bore applications up to 300mm stroke. It features an external M27x2.0 threaded stop with a lock nut that restricts the extend end position. You can fine-tune the usable extend stroke anywhere from 75mm up to the full 175mm directly on the machine, while the retract stroke remains completely unaffected.
Because the piston area is unchanged, output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this size, yielding 7696.9N push and 7294.8N pull at 0.5 MPa. The unit incorporates fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end rather than adjustable air cushions. Equipped with a piston magnet (-S), it supports both reed and electronic solid-state switches in the built-in grooves. Note that a plain cylinder will not hold its load upon air loss; utilize an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe holding.

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 75 to 175mm extend reach on heavy metal stamping presses during initial tooling setup without machining custom spacers.
Modify the extend stop on large CNC pallet changers to accommodate different fixture heights rapidly across product families.
Test and establish precise end positions for large mold closing operations, relying on the 1570 kgf max push force for secure holding.
For lower force requirements, consider the 125mm bore offering 6135.9N push at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the 160mm bore for 10053.1N push. If your end-position never varies, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder is sufficient. To order this adjustable unit correctly, confirm the 140mm bore, 175mm full stroke, 100mm adjustment window, the -S magnet option, and the default female M22x2.5 rod-end thread with PT3/8 ports.
Quick checklist
This model provides 7696.9N push and 7294.8N pull at 0.5 MPa, 10775.7N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 1570 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The full stroke is 175mm with a 100mm adjustment window, allowing a usable extend range of 75 to 175mm.
An external M27x2.0 threaded stop and lock nut mechanically limits the extend distance, changing only the stroke length, not the force. Deceleration is handled by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends, not adjustable air cushions. The built-in magnet (-S) works with reed or solid-state switches.
