The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ140X300-20SB 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 AirTAC ACQJ140X300-20SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring an external extend stop. A threaded adjuster with an M27x2.0 thread and lock nut lets you trim the outward stroke from 280 to 300 mm directly on the machine. The return stroke remains completely unaffected by this mechanism.
Because the piston area stays constant, output force equals a standard ACQ of the same bore, delivering 7696.9 N push at 0.5 MPa. This big-bore variant uses a PT3/8 port and a male M30x1.5 rod end. Fixed NBR elastomer bumpers absorb impact at both ends, while the integrated magnet supports reed or solid-state 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 |

| 0.7 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.

Choosing this 140 mm bore provides 7696.9 N push and 7294.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa. Stepping down to a 125 mm bore drops the push to 6135.9 N, whereas a 160 mm bore raises it to 10053.1 N. If your application never requires end-position trimming, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder will suffice. When ordering this adjustable version, confirm the 300 mm full stroke, 20 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 full stroke is 300 mm, and the external adjuster allows an extend range of 280 to 300 mm (a 20 mm window).
No, the adjuster only limits the extend length, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. The retract stroke is unaffected. It uses fixed elastomer bumpers rather than adjustable air cushions, and the -S magnet works with reed or electronic switches.
