Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X150-10S
The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X150-10S 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 ACQJ160X150-10S
The AirTAC ACQJ160X150-10S is a double-acting, single-rod JIS compact cylinder from the big-bore range, featuring an external threaded stop with a lock nut that limits the extend end position. You can fine-tune the extend stroke on the machine from 140mm up to the full 150mm, while the retract stroke remains completely unaffected.
Because the piston area stays the same, the force output is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore, delivering 10053.1N push and 9424.8N pull at 0.5MPa. The unit includes a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for deceleration, and the -S magnet enables position sensing with both reed and solid-state switches via the built-in grooves.

| 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 ACQJ160X150-10S Is Used
Heavy Press Tonnage Setup
Dial in the exact 140-150mm extend position on a heavy-duty metal stamping press to accommodate varying material thicknesses without machining new stop collars.
Automotive Welding Changeover
Alter the end-of-stroke reach on a robotic welding gun during vehicle model line changeovers, using the external M36x2.0 adjuster to hit precise weld nugget locations.
Large Injection Molding Extraction
Tune the extraction arm reach on large injection molding machines to safely pull out heavy plastic parts of differing geometries before the mold fully reopens.
Is the Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X150-10S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160mm bore variant, stepping down to the 140mm bore yields 7696.9N push at 0.5MPa, while stepping up is unavailable as this is the largest big-bore compact option. If your application never requires stroke adjustments, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder will suffice and simplify the setup. To order, confirm the 160mm bore, 150mm full stroke, 10mm adjustable window, the -S magnet, and the female M24x3.0 rod-end 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 ACQJ160X150-10S FAQ
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 usable extend range is 140-150mm (10mm window), the port is PT3/8, and the external adjuster thread is M36x2.0.
The external threaded stop shortens the extend stroke only, leaving the retract stroke unaffected. Force remains identical to a standard ACQ because the piston area is unchanged. The fixed NBR bumper decelerates the load near stroke end, but a plain cylinder will not hold a load on air loss; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe holding.
