The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ140X175-50S 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 ACQJ140X175-50S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder from the big-bore range featuring an external extend stop. An external threaded rod with a lock nut limits how far the piston extends, yielding a usable forward travel range of 125 to 175 mm. The return stroke remains completely unaffected by this adjustment.
Because the adjuster only alters travel length and not the internal piston area, the output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this size. You get 7696.9 N push and 7294.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, scaling to a maximum push of 1570 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The body uses fixed elastomer bumpers rather than adjustable pneumatic cushions, and the integrated -S piston magnet supports both reed and solid-state electronic sensors.

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.

Adapt the clamping reach on heavy press machinery instantly when switching dies, using the external stop to set exact 125 to 175 mm extension limits without machining new spacers.
Dial in the exact bend or form depth on thick metal blanks, relying on the 1570 kgf max push to hold position against the fixed elastomer bumper at cycle end.
Set precise end stops for large automated pallet lifts, allowing operators to tweak the 50 mm adjustment window on the floor to accommodate varying load heights.
When sizing this big-bore unit, the adjacent Ø125 bore provides 6135.9 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger Ø160 yields 10053.1 N push. Choose this 140 mm bore if your required force falls strictly within that bracket. If your setup never requires altering the end position, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder is simpler and suffices. To order this adjustable version correctly, confirm the 140 mm bore, the 175 mm full stroke, the 50 mm adjuster window, the -S magnet, and the default female M22x2.5 rod-end thread.
Quick checklist
The usable extend range is 125 to 175 mm (a 50 mm window off the 175 mm full stroke). Force is identical to a standard ACQ: 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.
An external M27x2.0 threaded screw with a lock nut mechanically limits the forward extension length without changing the piston area, so force stays constant. The cylinder uses fixed elastomer bumpers, not adjustable air cushions. The included -S piston magnet works with both reed and electronic solid-state switches.
