Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X100-100S
The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X100-100S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø160mm bore and 100mm 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 ACQJ160X100-100S
The AirTAC ACQJ160X100-100S is a big-bore JIS compact cylinder featuring a double-acting single rod and an external extend stop. A threaded rod-end adjuster with an M36x2.0 thread and lock nut lets you dial the extend end position anywhere in a 0-100 mm usable range on the machine, while the retract stroke remains unaffected. It brings 10053.1 N of push force at 0.5 MPa to your fixture without changing the piston area.
Because the adjuster only limits travel length, output force stays identical to a standard ACQ of this bore, yielding 14074.3 N of push at 0.7 MPa and a maximum push of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The Ø40 mm rod uses a PT3/8 port and a default female M24x3.0 thread. Fixed NBR elastomer bumpers decelerate the load at both ends, and the -S magnet enables tracking with reed or solid-state switches.

| 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 |

| 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 ACQJ160X100-100S Is Used
Press Tonnage Trials
Dial in the exact extend bottom-dead-center on a large press during setup, testing different end positions from 0 to 100 mm without machining new spacers.
Heavy Fixture Changeover
Adapt a large stamping line to a new product family by rapidly re-adjusting the extend stop to meet the next fixture's required travel.
Clamping Depth Control
Regulate the extend reach on an automated welding station to accommodate varying material thicknesses while applying 10053.1 N of clamping force.
Is the Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X100-100S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this big-bore variant, stepping down to a 140 mm bore drops the 0.5 MPa push to 7696.9 N, whereas stepping up is beyond the standard range, making this 160 mm body the maximum compact choice for 10053.1 N of push. If your extend position never varies, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder is simpler; choose this ACQJ only when you need 0-100 mm of on-machine extend tuning. Confirm your ordering essentials: 160 mm bore, 100 mm full stroke, 100 mm window, -S magnet, and female 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 ACQJ160X100-100S FAQ
It provides 10053.1 N push and 9424.8 N pull 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 100 mm with a 100 mm window, allowing an adjustable usable extend range of 0-100 mm.
The external M36x2.0 threaded stop with lock nut limits only the extend travel, meaning force remains identical to a standard ACQ since piston area is unchanged. Fixed NBR bumpers decelerate the load near stroke ends, but a plain ACQ does not hold its load on air loss; for a fail-safe hold, use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
