Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X10-10SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X10-10SB 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 ACQJ160X10-10SB
The ACQJ160X10-10SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a massive 160mm bore and an external extend stop. A threaded M36x2.0 adjuster with a lock nut lets you fine-tune the extend end position on the machine, yielding a usable extend range of 0 to 10mm from the 10mm full stroke. Retract travel remains completely unaffected by this mechanism.
Because the piston area is unchanged, output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this size, delivering 10053.1N push at 0.5MPa. This big-bore unit includes a male M36x1.5 rod end for direct load coupling and a piston magnet for position sensing. It relies on fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends rather than adjustable air cushions.

| Model | Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X10-10SB |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQJ JIS compact adjustable-stroke cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø160 mm |
| Full stroke | 10 mm |
| Adjuster thread | M36×2.0 |
| Port size | PT3/8 |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.15 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 30 – 500 mm/s |
| 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 ACQJ160X10-10SB Is Used
Press Fit Depth Tuning
Dial in exact 0-10mm insertion depths on heavy press machinery without swapping out hard stops during product changeovers.
Heavy Fixture Positioning
Adjust the extend endpoint on large machining fixtures to accommodate varying part tolerances directly on the factory floor.
Clamping Force Setup
Micro-adjust the clamping reach on massive welding assemblies to ensure optimal contact before the full force is applied.
Is the Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X10-10SB the Right Cylinder?
Choosing this 160mm bore provides 10053.1N push and 9424.8N pull at 0.5MPa. If your application needs slightly less force, stepping down to a 140mm bore yields 7696.9N push, while moving up is impossible as this is the largest big-bore compact option. A standard fixed-stroke ACQ suffices if your end position never requires tweaking. Confirm your ordering essentials: 160mm bore, 10mm full stroke, 10mm adjuster window, the -S magnet, and the -B male 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 ACQJ160X10-10SB FAQ
It delivers 10053.1N push and 9424.8N pull at 0.5MPa, 14074.3N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum push of 2050 kgf at 1.0MPa. The usable extend range is 0-10mm, created by the 10mm full stroke minus the 10mm adjustment window.
The external M36x2.0 threaded stop with lock nut limits the extend length only, meaning force remains identical to a standard ACQ since piston area is unchanged. The cylinder uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers for end-of-stroke deceleration, and the -S magnet works with reed or solid-state switches.
