Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X100-10SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X100-10SB 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 ACQJ160X100-10SB
The ACQJ160X100-10SB is a big-bore JIS compact pneumatic cylinder featuring a double-acting single rod and an external extend stop. A threaded adjuster with a lock nut lets you set the extend end position on the machine, providing a usable extend range of 90 to 100 mm. The retract stroke remains completely unaffected. Because the piston area stays constant, output force equals a standard ACQ of this size.
This 160 mm bore variant operates at 0.15-1.0 MPa and uses a PT3/8 port. It includes a male M36x1.5 rod end for direct load coupling and an M36x2.0 adjuster thread. The body relies on fixed elastomer NBR bumpers for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions. A built-in magnet (-S) enables position detection with reed or solid-state switches.

| 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 ACQJ160X100-10SB Is Used
Heavy Press Setup
Dialing in the exact extend endpoint during heavy press setup lets operators fine-tune the 90 to 100 mm stroke without machining new spacers.
Product Changeover
Shifting the external stop accommodates different product lengths on a packaging line, utilizing the full 2050 kgf max push capacity safely.
Trial End Positions
Testing clamping depths on large machining fixtures is simplified by turning the M36x2.0 adjuster to find the optimal endpoint before locking it down.
Is the Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X100-10SB the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 160 mm bore provides 10053.1 N push and 9424.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa. If your application needs less thrust, stepping down to a 140 mm bore yields 7696.9 N push, whereas moving up is impossible as this is the largest big-bore compact option. A fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder suffices if you never need to alter the extend endpoint. Confirm your ordering needs: 160 mm bore, 100 mm full stroke, 10 mm adjuster window, magnet, and 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 ACQJ160X100-10SB FAQ
It delivers 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 10 mm adjustment window giving a usable extend range of 90 to 100 mm.
The external threaded stop limits only the extend length, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. The fixed elastomer bumper decelerates the rod near stroke end. Note that a plain compact cylinder does not hold its load on air loss; for fail-safe holding, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
