Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X150-100S
The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X150-100S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø160mm bore and 150mm 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 ACQJ160X150-100S
The AirTAC ACQJ160X150-100S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring an external threaded stop with a lock nut that limits the extend stroke. You can fine-tune the end position directly on the machine across a 50 to 150 mm usable range, while the 150 mm retract stroke remains completely unaffected. As a big-bore compact unit, it handles strokes up to 300 mm.
Because the piston area stays constant, output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore. At 0.5 MPa it generates 10053.1 N of push force and 9424.8 N of pull force. The cylinder uses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion, and the included -S magnet supports reed or solid-state electronic switches.

| Model | Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X150-100S |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQJ JIS compact adjustable-stroke cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø160 mm |
| Full stroke | 150 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 ACQJ160X150-100S Is Used
Heavy Press Tuning
Dial in the exact extend position from 50 to 150 mm during setup on a large metal-forming press without machining new spacers.
Product Changeover Stops
Shift the extend stop rapidly when switching between heavy pallet sizes on an automotive assembly line fixture.
Trial End Positions
Test multiple extend endpoints on a large materials handling clamp to find the optimal grip distance before locking the nut.
Is the Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X150-100S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore unit, dropping to a 140 mm bore yields 7696.9 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas this bore provides 10053.1 N. If you require more power, no larger standard ACQJ bore exists. A fixed-stroke ACQ is sufficient if your end position never varies. Confirm your ordering essentials: 160 mm bore, 150 mm full stroke, 100 mm adjust window, the -S magnet for sensing, and the default female M24x3.0 rod-end thread with PT3/8 ports.
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 ACQJ160X150-100S 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 100 mm adjustment window allows a usable extend range of 50 to 150 mm.
No, the adjuster only limits the extend stroke length, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. The cylinder uses fixed elastomer bumpers, not adjustable cushions, and a plain ACQ will not hold a load on air loss; use an external rod lock for fail-safe holding.
