Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X150-50S
The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X150-50S 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 ACQJ160X150-50S
The AirTAC ACQJ160X150-50S is a double-acting, big-bore JIS compact cylinder 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 anywhere from 100 mm up to the full 150 mm, while the RETRACT stroke remains completely unaffected. The adjuster only changes the travel distance, so the output force stays identical to a standard ACQ of this bore size.
Delivering 10053.1 N push and 9424.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, this Ø160 mm unit uses an M36x2.0 adjuster thread and a PT3/8 port. It relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion. The included -S magnet works with both reed and electronic solid-state switches via the body's integrated grooves, supporting speeds of 30-500 mm/s.

| 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 |

| 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 ACQJ160X150-50S Is Used
Heavy Press Tuning
Dial in the exact 100 to 150 mm extend position on a large stamping press without machining new spacers for every new die set.
Product Changeover Stops
Adjust the external stop on the fly when switching between large pallet sizes on a heavy-duty conveyor handling line.
Assembly Fixture Setup
Find the perfect end position for a 10053.1 N clamping force application during initial fixture setup without swapping out cylinder hardware.
Is the Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X150-50S the Right Cylinder?
If you need slightly less thrust, stepping down to a Ø140 bore yields 7696.9 N push @0.5 MPa, whereas moving up is impossible at the top of this 160 mm big-bore compact range. A fixed-stroke ACQ is sufficient if your end position never varies, but choose this ACQJ variant if your fixture setup requires frequent trial end positions or product-changeover stops. When ordering, confirm the 160 mm bore, 150 mm full stroke, 50 mm adjustable window, -S magnet for sensing, and the default 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 ACQJ160X150-50S FAQ
This model delivers 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 full stroke is 150 mm with a 50 mm adjustable window, providing a usable extend range of 100-150 mm. The external adjuster uses an M36x2.0 thread.
The external stop only limits the extend travel distance, so the output force remains identical to a standard ACQ of the same 160 mm bore. The cylinder uses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end to decelerate the load near the stroke limits, which is not an adjustable air cushion; for high-energy impacts, add an external shock absorber.
