The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X125-50SB is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø160mm bore and 125mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The ACQJ160X125-50SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 160mm bore and a 125mm full stroke. An external M36x2.0 threaded stop with a lock nut lets you fine-tune the extend end position on the machine itself. You get a usable extend range of 75-125mm, while the retract stroke remains completely unaffected.
Because the piston area stays constant, output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this size. Expect 10053.1N push and 9424.8N pull at 0.5MPa. This big-bore variant includes a male M36x1.5 rod end for direct load coupling, a piston magnet for position sensing, and fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end to absorb impact energy.

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.
| 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.

Dial in the exact 75-125mm extend reach during heavy press commissioning without machining new spacers or swapping components.
Shift the rod extension endpoint on the fly when adapting robotic welding fixtures for different automotive chassis dimensions.
Test varying clamping depths on large injection molds safely, relying on the fixed NBR bumper for end-of-stroke deceleration.
Selecting this 160mm bore actuator provides massive thrust up to 2050kgf at 1.0MPa. If your application requires less force, stepping down to a 140mm bore yields 7696.9N push at 0.5MPa, whereas moving up is impossible as this is the largest big-bore compact option. A fixed-stroke ACQ suffices if your end position never varies. Confirm ordering essentials: 160mm bore, 125mm full stroke, 50mm adjuster window, S magnet, and B male rod thread.
Quick checklist
It provides 10053.1N push and 9424.8N pull at 0.5MPa, 14074.3N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum push of 2050kgf at 1.0MPa. The 50mm adjustment window allows a usable extend range of 75-125mm.
No, the external M36x2.0 stop changes stroke length only, leaving force identical to a standard ACQ. Note that a plain compact cylinder drifts on air loss; use an external rod lock for fail-safe holding. The fixed elastomer bumper decelerates the load near stroke end.
