The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ140X75-30SB is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø140mm bore and 75mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The AirTAC ACQJ140X75-30SB is a double-acting, single-rod JIS compact cylinder engineered for big-bore tasks up to 300mm stroke. It features a male M30x1.5 piston rod (B) and an integrated magnet (S) for position sensing. An external threaded stop with a lock nut limits the extend end position, providing an adjustable window of 30mm. This yields a usable extend range of 45-75mm, while the retract stroke remains completely unaffected.
Because the internal piston area stays constant, the output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore. At 0.5MPa, it generates 7696.9N of push force and 7294.8N of pull force. The cylinder uses a PT3/8 port and fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends rather than adjustable air cushions. For high-speed or high-energy cycling, adding an external shock absorber or slowing the approach is recommended.

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 45-75mm extend reach on a stamping press without machining custom spacers during initial tooling setup.
Modify the extend stop for varying product dimensions on an automotive assembly line quickly using the external lock nut.
Test multiple end positions on a thick-gauge metal bending machine to find the perfect angle before finalizing the stroke.
When sizing this big-bore 140mm unit, consider the neighboring bores. Stepping down to an ACQJ125 yields 6135.9N push at 0.5MPa, whereas stepping up to an ACQJ160 provides 10053.1N push at 0.5MPa. If your application never requires end-position tuning, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder is sufficient. To order this adjustable variant, confirm the 140mm bore, 75mm full stroke, 30mm window, the S magnet for electronic or reed switches, and the B male rod thread.
Quick checklist
This cylinder provides 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 full stroke is 75mm with a 30mm window, allowing a usable extend range of 45-75mm.
The adjuster only changes the extend stroke length, not the piston area, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. It uses an M27x2.0 external threaded stop with fixed elastomer bumpers; it does not hold loads on air loss, so an external rod lock is needed for fail-safe holding.
