The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ140X30-30SB is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø140mm bore and 30mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The AirTAC ACQJ140X30-30SB is a double-acting, single-rod JIS compact cylinder engineered for big-bore tasks up to 300mm stroke. It features an external threaded stop with a lock nut on the extend side, allowing you to fine-tune the end position directly on the machine. The usable extend range spans 0-30mm, shortening the 30mm full stroke by up to 30mm, while the retract stroke remains completely unaffected.
Because the piston area stays constant, output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore, yielding 7696.9N push and 7294.8N pull at 0.5MPa. The rod end terminates in a male M30x1.5 thread for direct load coupling, and the -S magnet enables tracking via reed or solid-state switches. Deceleration relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, and a plain pneumatic valve will not hold the load safely on air loss without an external rod lock.

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 depth on a multi-stage press during material forming tests without machining custom spacers for each sheet thickness.
Shift the extend stop rapidly when swapping large machining fixtures on an automated line, accommodating new part tolerances via the external lock nut.
Establish precise end positions on a heavy-duty metal bending roll, tweaking the 0-30mm window to find the exact deflection angle for new profiles.
Choose this big-bore 140mm unit when your setup requires heavy thrust and adaptable extend stops. Stepping down to a 125mm bore drops the 0.5MPa push force to 6135.9N, whereas stepping up to a 160mm bore raises it to 10053.1N. If the extend end position never varies, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder is simpler and sufficient. When ordering, confirm the 30mm full stroke, 30mm adjustment window, PT3/8 port, M27x2.0 adjuster thread, the -S magnet for sensing, and the -B male M30x1.5 rod end.
Quick checklist
It provides 7696.9N push and 7294.8N pull at 0.5MPa, 10775.7N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum push of 1570 kgf at 1.0MPa. The full stroke is 30mm with a 30mm adjustment window, yielding a usable extend range of 0-30mm. The retract stroke is unaffected by the adjuster.
An external M27x2.0 threaded stop with a lock nut limits the extend distance without altering the piston area, meaning force remains identical to a standard ACQ. Deceleration uses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper. The cylinder will drift if air is lost or the valve is centered, so an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required for fail-safe load holding.
