Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X150-10SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X150-10SB 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 ACQJ160X150-10SB
The AirTAC ACQJ160X150-10SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a big-bore 160mm body and an external extend stop. A threaded rod-end adjuster with a lock nut lets you fine-tune the forward end position on the machine, yielding a usable extend range of 140-150mm from the 150mm full stroke. The return stroke remains completely unaffected. Because the piston area is unchanged, force output is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore.
This unit includes the -S magnet for electronic or reed switch sensing and the -B male M36x1.5 rod end that couples directly to the load. It runs on PT3/8 ports with a 40mm piston rod. Deceleration relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end rather than adjustable air cushions. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa, and the compact riveted body design is built for heavy-duty space-constrained setups.

| 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 ACQJ160X150-10SB Is Used
Press Tool Tryouts
Dial in the exact 140-150mm extend position during stamping press setup or tool tryouts without machining new spacers or swapping components.
Automated Assembly Lines
Adapt heavy-duty clamping endpoints on the fly during product changeovers to accommodate different chassis dimensions on automated assembly lines.
Woodworking Machinery
Fine-tune the cutting or pressing depth on large woodworking machinery to compensate for material thickness variations directly at the fixture.
Is the Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X150-10SB the Right Cylinder?
For context on sizing, stepping down to a 140mm bore yields 7696.9N push at 0.5MPa, while this 160mm bore delivers 10053.1N push at 0.5MPa. If your application requires the full 150mm stroke without variation, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder is sufficient. When ordering, verify the 160mm bore, 150mm full stroke, 10mm adjuster window, the -S magnet requirement, and the -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 ACQJ160X150-10SB FAQ
This cylinder 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 full stroke is 150mm, and the 10mm adjustable window allows the extend stroke to be shortened to a usable range of 140-150mm.
An external M36x2.0 threaded stop with a lock nut limits the extend stroke, changing only the stroke length and not the piston area, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. A fixed NBR elastomer bumper decelerates the load near the end of travel, but a plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; for fail-safe load holding, use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
