The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X200-100S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø160mm bore and 200mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The AirTAC ACQJ160X200-100S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 160mm bore and a 200mm full stroke. An external threaded stop with a lock nut permits on-machine extend end-position tuning without swapping parts. You can shorten the forward stroke by up to 100mm, yielding a usable extend range of 100-200mm. The retract stroke remains completely unaffected.
Because the adjuster only limits travel, the piston area stays the same, meaning force is identical to a standard ACQ of this size. This big-bore unit delivers 10053.1N push force at 0.5 MPa and incorporates NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for fixed deceleration. The integrated -S piston magnet pairs seamlessly with reed or solid-state electronic switches via the body grooves.

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.
| 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.

Dial in the exact 100-200mm extend reach on a large stamping press during tooling setup, preventing over-travel without machining new spacers.
Adjust the forward stop position on the fly for different pallet sizes in a heavy-duty conveyor line, accommodating product changeovers rapidly.
Fine-tune the clamping reach on an automotive welding fixture to safely accommodate varying part geometries before full pressure is applied.
Selecting this 160mm bore unit provides 10053.1N push and 9424.8N pull at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less thrust, stepping down to a 140mm bore yields 7696.9N push, whereas moving up to the 160mm variant is the maximum standard compact option here. A fixed-stroke ACQ is sufficient if your end position never varies. When ordering, confirm the 200mm full stroke, the 100mm adjustment window, the -S magnet, and the default M24x3.0 female rod-end thread.
Quick checklist
It provides 10053.1N push and 9424.8N pull at 0.5 MPa, 14074.3N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The usable extend range is 100-200mm, created by the 100mm adjustment window on the 200mm full stroke.
The M36x2.0 external adjuster screw limits forward travel only; retract is unaffected and force remains identical to a standard ACQ. Deceleration relies on fixed NBR elastomer bumpers, not adjustable air cushions. Note that a plain compact cylinder drifts on air loss, so use an external rod lock for fail-safe load holding.
