The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X200-10S 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 ACQJ160X200-10S is a big-bore JIS compact cylinder engineered for heavy-duty double-acting operation. An external threaded stop with a lock nut restricts the extend end position, providing a usable forward range of 190-200mm from the 200mm full stroke. Retract travel remains completely unaffected. A built-in piston magnet (-S) pairs with reed or solid-state switches.
Because the piston area is unaltered, output force remains identical to a standard ACQ of this size. The 40mm rod and PT3/8 porting handle substantial loads, while fixed NBR elastomer bumpers absorb impact at both ends rather than adjustable air cushions. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa.

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 190-200mm extend stop on a heavy metal stamping press to test material forming depths before finalizing hard stops.
Adjust the end position on the fly for large automotive frame weldments, accommodating varying fixture thicknesses without swapping cylinders.
Fine-tune the extend stroke on heavy-load pallet lifts, allowing precise 10mm window adjustments for varying pallet heights.
Choosing this 160mm bore provides 10053.1N push and 9424.8N pull at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less force, the 140mm bore yields 7696.9N push, whereas the 160mm is the largest in this compact family. A fixed-stroke ACQ is sufficient if your end position never varies. When ordering, verify the 200mm full stroke, 10mm window, -S magnet, female M24x3.0 rod end, and PT3/8 port.
Quick checklist
It delivers 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 full stroke is 200mm with a 10mm adjustable window, giving a usable extend range of 190-200mm.
An external M36x2.0 threaded stop with a lock nut limits the forward stroke length only. The piston area is unchanged, so force is identical to a standard ACQ. Fixed NBR bumpers decelerate the load at both ends. Note that a plain ACQ does not hold loads on air loss; use an external rod lock for fail-safe holding.
