Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X100-10S
The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X100-10S 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 ACQJ160X100-10S
The AirTAC ACQJ160X100-10S represents the big-bore JIS compact pneumatic cylinder line, engineered for double-acting single-rod operations. It features a 160mm bore and a 100mm full stroke. An external M36x2.0 threaded stop with a lock nut restricts the EXTEND end position, providing a usable outward range of 90-100mm. The RETRACT stroke remains completely unaffected by this adjustment.
Because the internal piston area stays constant, the output force is IDENTICAL to a standard ACQ of this size, delivering 10053.1N push and 9424.8N pull at 0.5MPa. The unit incorporates a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion. Equipped with a -S piston magnet, it supports both reed and solid-state magnetic switches via the integrated grooves.

| Model | Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X100-10S |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQJ JIS compact adjustable-stroke cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø160 mm |
| Full stroke | 100 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 ACQJ160X100-10S Is Used
Heavy Press Positioning
Dial in the exact 90-100mm extend reach on a multi-ton metal press during die-changeover without swapping mechanical spacers.
Large Assembly Forming
Adjust the outward stop on-site to test different clamping depths for oversized automotive frame components.
Pallet Lift Stations
Fine-tune the lifting endpoint to accommodate varying pallet heights while relying on the 2050kgf max push capacity.
Is the Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X100-10S the Right Cylinder?
For a 160mm bore operating at 0.5MPa, this actuator yields 10053.1N of push force and 9424.8N of pull force. If your setup requires slightly less thrust, the ACQJ140 series offers 7696.9N push, whereas the ACQJ160 stands as the largest standard option in this compact family. If your machinery never needs end-position tuning, a fixed-stroke ACQ160X100 would suffice and eliminate the adjuster hardware. When ordering, verify the 160mm bore, 100mm full stroke, 10mm window, -S magnet inclusion, and the default female M24x3.0 rod-end 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 ACQJ160X100-10S FAQ
At 0.5MPa it provides 10053.1N push and 9424.8N pull, and 14074.3N push at 0.7MPa, with a maximum push of 2050kgf at 1.0MPa. The full stroke is 100mm, and the -10 window allows the extend stroke to be shortened by up to 10mm, yielding a usable outward range of 90-100mm.
An external M36x2.0 threaded stop with a lock nut limits the extend stroke length only, meaning the force remains identical to a standard ACQ because the piston area is unchanged. The retract stroke is unaffected, and fixed NBR bumpers handle deceleration at both ends.
