The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X200-10SB 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 ACQJ160X200-10SB is a double-acting, single-rod JIS compact cylinder engineered for big-bore pneumatic applications requiring exact extend positioning. An external threaded stop with a lock nut limits the outward stroke, yielding a usable extend range of 190-200 mm from the 200 mm full stroke. The retract distance remains completely unaffected. Because the piston area stays constant, output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore, delivering 10053.1 N push at 0.5 MPa.
Equipped with a -S piston magnet, this unit supports both reed and solid-state electronic switches for precise end-of-stroke detection. The -B option provides a male M36x1.5 rod-end thread for direct load coupling. Deceleration relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end rather than an adjustable air cushion. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa, and the PT3/8 port handles high flow demands for heavy-duty cycles.

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 190-200 mm extend position during stamping press die testing without swapping cylinders or machining new spacers.
Adapt large welding fixtures to new product variants rapidly by turning the external M36x2.0 stopper to meet revised part dimensions.
Fine-tune the downward clamping reach on multi-size pallet handling lines, ensuring the rod settles perfectly without reprogramming the machine.
When sizing this 160 mm bore unit, dropping down to a 140 mm bore yields 7696.9 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up is not available within the standard big-bore compact range. Choose this adjustable model only if your fixture requires on-the-fly extend tuning; otherwise, a fixed-stroke ACQ160X200 is simpler. Confirm your ordering essentials: 160 mm bore, 200 mm full stroke, 10 mm window, -S magnet, and -B male rod thread.
Quick checklist
It provides 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 200 mm with a 10 mm adjustable window, allowing a usable extend range of 190-200 mm.
The external M36x2.0 threaded stop with lock nut mechanically limits only the extend length, leaving the retract stroke untouched. Force remains identical to a standard ACQ because the piston area is unchanged. The fixed NBR bumper decelerates the load near stroke ends, but a plain ACQ-type cylinder will not hold its load on air loss; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe holding.
