The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X200-30S 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 ACQJ160X200-30S is a double-acting, single-rod JIS compact cylinder from the big-bore range, featuring an external threaded stop with a lock nut to limit the extend end position. You can fine-tune the usable extend stroke from 170 mm up to the full 200 mm directly on your machinery, while the retract stroke remains completely unaffected. The adjuster utilizes an M36x2.0 thread.
Because the piston area stays constant, output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore, yielding 10053.1 N push and 9424.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa. This Ø160 mm unit features a 40 mm rod, PT3/8 port, fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration, and an integrated magnet (-S) for position sensing.

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 170 to 200 mm extend position on a large metal stamping press to accommodate varying material thicknesses without machining new spacers.
Swiftly reposition the extend stop during automotive body-in-white product changeovers to alter electrode approach distances on the fly.
Establish trial end positions for clamping heavy machinery components, enabling operators to tweak the 30 mm window until the optimal grip is found.
Selecting this Ø160 big-bore unit provides massive thrust up to 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa. If your application requires less force, dropping to a bore 140 variant lowers the push to 7696.9 N at 0.5 MPa. Conversely, if you need longer travel, this bore supports standard strokes up to 300 mm. A fixed-stroke ACQ is sufficient if your end position never varies. When ordering, verify the 200 mm full stroke, the 30 mm adjuster window, the -S magnet for electronic or reed switches, and the default female M24x3.0 rod-end thread.
Quick checklist
This cylinder 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 30 mm adjustable window, giving a usable extend range of 170-200 mm. The external adjuster has an M36x2.0 thread.
The external stop modifies only the extend stroke length, meaning the force remains identical to a standard ACQ. The cylinder relies on fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end for deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions. Note that a plain ACQ-type will not hold its load on air loss; for a fail-safe hold, utilize an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
