Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X100-40S
The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X100-40S 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 ACQJ160X100-40S
The AirTAC ACQJ160X100-40S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 160mm bore and an external threaded stop with a lock nut. This mechanism limits the extend end position, providing a usable extension range of 60 to 100mm (a 40mm adjustment window from the 100mm full stroke). The retract stroke remains completely unaffected by this adjustment. As a big-bore compact variant, it supports standard strokes up to 300mm while maintaining a space-saving riveted body design.
Because the internal piston area is unchanged, the output force remains identical to a standard ACQ of this size. At 0.5 MPa, it generates 10053.1N of push force and 9424.8N of pull force. The unit relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion. Equipped with a built-in piston magnet (-S), it supports both reed and solid-state electronic switches via its dedicated sensor grooves.
Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X100-40S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X100-40S |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQJ160X100-40S Is Used
Heavy Press Tonnage Setup
Dial in the exact 60 to 100mm extension on a large metalworking press during initial tool setup, preventing over-travel without machining custom spacers.
Automotive Assembly Changeover
Quickly reposition the external stop to accommodate different chassis dimensions on a heavy-duty assembly line, cutting product changeover times significantly.
Large Fixture Clamping
Fine-tune the clamping reach on multi-model welding fixtures, using the 40mm window to adapt to varying part heights while maintaining 14074.3N of thrust at 0.7 MPa.
Is the Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X100-40S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160mm bore, dropping down to a 140mm cylinder yields 7696.9N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up is not available in this compact family. Choose this adjustable model specifically when trial end positions or product-changeovers require on-the-fly extension limits without swapping parts; if your machine only needs a fixed 100mm reach, a standard ACQ series suffices. To finalize your order, confirm the 160mm bore, 100mm full stroke, 40mm window, the -S magnet for sensing, and the default female M24x3.0 rod-end thread. Note that a plain compact cylinder drifts on air loss, so specify an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if fail-safe load holding is required.
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 ACQJ160X100-40S FAQ
This 160mm bore cylinder has a 100mm full stroke with a 40mm adjustment window, yielding a usable extend range of 60-100mm. It provides 10053.1N push and 9424.8N pull at 0.5 MPa, 14074.3N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The port size is PT3/8.
No, the external M36x2.0 adjuster stop changes only the extension length, not the piston area, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. Deceleration relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end, which is not an adjustable air cushion; for high-energy cycles, use an external shock absorber or slow the approach speed.
