The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X200-50S 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 ACQJ160X200-50S is a double-acting, single-rod JIS compact cylinder from the big-bore range, featuring a 200mm full stroke and an external threaded stop with a lock nut. This adjuster allows you to fine-tune the extend end position on the machine, yielding a usable extend range of 150-200mm without changing parts. The retract stroke remains completely unaffected.
Because the piston area is unchanged, output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore, delivering 10053.1N push at 0.5MPa. The unit features a 40mm rod, PT3/8 porting, and a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end. An integrated piston magnet (-S) enables position sensing with reed or solid-state switches.

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 150-200mm extend position during heavy press commissioning to accommodate varying material thicknesses without machining custom spacers.
Adapt large body-panel forming stops rapidly on the production line when switching between vehicle models, relying on the 2050kgf clamping force.
Tune the pusher stroke on packaging machinery to handle different pallet sizes, utilizing the fixed elastomer bumper to absorb high kinetic energy.
When sizing this 160mm bore actuator, a 140mm variant provides 7696.9N push @0.5MPa, while no larger standard ACQJ bore exists, making this the top force option (2050kgf max push @1.0MPa). If your extend distance never varies, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder suffices; choose the ACQJ when setups require frequent end-position adjustments. Confirm ordering essentials: 160mm bore, 200mm full stroke, 50mm adjust window, -S magnet, and female M24x3.0 rod thread.
Quick checklist
It delivers 10053.1N push and 9424.8N pull at 0.5MPa, 14074.3N push at 0.7MPa, and 2050kgf max push at 1.0MPa. The external adjuster has an M36x2.0 thread. The usable extend range is 150-200mm (200mm full stroke minus the 50mm window).
No, the external stop limits only the extend length, not the piston area, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. Deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end; for high-speed loads, add an external shock absorber. Note that a plain ACQ does not hold loads on air loss, so use an external rod lock for fail-safe holding.
