The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ140X300-100S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø140mm bore and 300mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The ACQJ140X300-100S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 140mm bore and a 300mm full stroke. An external threaded stop with a lock nut permits on-machine extend end-position tuning, yielding a usable forward range of 200-300mm. The return stroke remains unaffected. Because the piston area is unchanged, output force equals a standard ACQ of this size.
This big-bore variant delivers 7696.9N push at 0.5MPa and 10775.7N at 0.7MPa. It includes a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end and a built-in magnet (-S) for position sensing. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0MPa, and the Ø32mm piston rod uses an M22x2.5 female thread.

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 200-300mm extend position during heavy press commissioning to calibrate tonnage without swapping mechanical spacers.
Adapt forward reach instantly for different large mold depths in injection molding lines, using the lock nut to secure the new stop.
Fine-tune the downward plunge distance on automotive assembly rigs to accommodate new model variants without retooling the entire station.
If 7294.8N pull at 0.5MPa is insufficient, consider the Ø160 bore (9424.8N pull); if you need less force, the Ø125 bore provides 5733.8N pull. Choose this 140mm option when your setup requires high thrust alongside variable forward positioning. A fixed-stroke ACQ suffices if your end stop never varies. Confirm ordering essentials: 140mm bore, 300mm full stroke, 100mm window, S magnet, and female rod thread.
Quick checklist
The usable extend range is 200-300mm (300mm full stroke minus the 100mm window). The retract stroke is unaffected. It delivers 7696.9N push and 7294.8N pull at 0.5MPa, 10775.7N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum push of 1570kgf at 1.0MPa. The external adjuster thread is M27x2.0.
No, the adjuster changes the forward stroke length only, leaving piston area and output force identical to a standard ACQ. Deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end, not an adjustable air cushion. For high-speed or high-energy loads, add an external shock absorber. Note that a plain ACQ-type does not hold its load on air loss; use an external rod lock for fail-safe holding.
