Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X10-10S
The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X10-10S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø160mm bore and 10mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.

About the Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X10-10S
The ACQJ160X10-10S is a big-bore JIS compact cylinder engineered for heavy-duty applications needing exact extend end-position tuning. An external threaded stop with a lock nut lets you set the usable extend range from 0 to 10 mm directly on the machine. The retract stroke remains completely unaffected. Built with a 40 mm piston rod and a PT3/8 port, this double-acting unit handles up to 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
Because the piston area stays the same, output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this size, delivering 10053.1 N push and 9424.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa. The design relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion. The integrated -S magnet works seamlessly with reed or electronic solid-state switches fitted into the body grooves.

| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.15 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |

| Rod thread | M24×3.0 (F) / M36×1.5 (B) |
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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø160mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 10053 N | 9425 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 14074 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 2050 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.

Where the Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X10-10S Is Used
Press Tonnage Calibration
Dial in the exact 0 to 10 mm extend stop during press setup to calibrate forming depth on heavy-gauge metal blanks without machining new spacers.
Large Fixture Changeover
Adapt a massive machining fixture to a new product family by turning the external M36x2.0 adjuster to meet the new workpiece dimensions rapidly.
Heavy Lift Trial Positions
Test intermediate extend end positions on a large stamping press to find the optimal clamping point before locking the nut down.
Is the Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X10-10S the Right Cylinder?
Choosing this 160 mm bore model provides massive thrust, pushing 14074.3 N at 0.7 MPa. If your application requires less force, dropping down to the 140 mm bore yields 7696.9 N push at 0.5 MPa, while moving up is impossible as this is the largest available bore. If the exact 10 mm extend position never varies, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder will suffice. When ordering, confirm the bore, full stroke, 10 mm adjustment window, S magnet, and female M24x3.0 rod thread.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Need on-machine end-position tuning?
- ✓ Full stroke and adjust window (mm)
- ✓ Force at your working pressure
- ✓ Magnet (S) for sensors?
- ✓ Female (blank) or male (B) rod thread
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Lock the adjuster nut after setting the stop.
- check The stop limits the EXTEND stroke only.
- check Avoid side load on the short piston rod.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X10-10S FAQ
This cylinder provides 10053.1 N push and 9424.8 N pull force at 0.5 MPa, 14074.3 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The full stroke is 10 mm with a 10 mm adjustment window, allowing a usable extend range of 0 to 10 mm.
The external threaded stop only changes the extend stroke length, not the piston area, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. Deceleration is handled by a fixed elastomer bumper at each end, not an adjustable cushion. Note that a plain cylinder will not hold its load on air loss, so an external rod lock is recommended for fail-safe holding.
