Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X150-100SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X150-100SB 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 ACQJ160X150-100SB
The AirTAC ACQJ160X150-100SB is a big-bore JIS compact pneumatic cylinder featuring a double-acting single rod and an external stroke adjuster. A threaded stop with a lock nut restricts the extend end position, yielding a usable forward range of 50 to 150 mm from the 150 mm full stroke. Retraction remains completely unaffected. Because the piston area stays constant, output force equals a standard ACQ of identical size.
Delivering 10053.1 N push and 9424.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, this unit uses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion. The -SB configuration includes a piston magnet compatible with reed or solid-state switches, plus a male M36x1.5 rod end that couples directly to the load. Operating pressure spans 0.15 to 1.0 MPa across a PT3/8 port.

| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.15 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |

| 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 ACQJ160X150-100SB Is Used
Heavy Press Tonnage Setup
Dial in the exact 50 to 150 mm extend position during heavy press tooling setups, allowing operators to tweak end stops for varying material thicknesses without machining new spacers.
Automotive Assembly Changeover
Adapt large body panel clamps on an automotive line rapidly by turning the external M36x2.0 adjuster thread, hitting precise intermediate extend lengths for different vehicle platforms.
Palletizer End-of-Arm Tooling
Test trial end positions for massive palletizing grippers, fine-tuning the extend reach to accommodate varying pallet heights or box dimensions before locking the nut down.
Is the Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X150-100SB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore, stepping down to a 140 mm variant yields 7696.9 N push at 0.5 MPa, while no larger standard bore exists in this compact family. If your machine requires a fixed 150 mm extend every cycle without on-machine tuning, a standard ACQ cylinder suffices. To order the ACQJ160X150-100SB correctly, confirm the 160 mm bore, 150 mm full stroke, 100 mm adjuster window, -S magnet for sensing, and -B male M36x1.5 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 ACQJ160X150-100SB FAQ
This 160 mm bore cylinder generates 10053.1 N push and 9424.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 14074.3 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum 2050 kgf push at 1.0 MPa. The full stroke is 150 mm with a 100 mm adjustment window, giving a usable extend range of 50 to 150 mm. It features a PT3/8 port, a male M36x1.5 rod end, and an M36x2.0 adjuster thread.
No, the external threaded stop changes only the extend stroke length, not the piston area, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. The cylinder relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for deceleration instead of an adjustable air cushion. Note that a plain ACQ-type does not hold its load on air loss; for a fail-safe hold, utilize an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
