Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X30-10S
The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X30-10S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø160mm bore and 30mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.

About the Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X30-10S
The ACQJ160X30-10S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 160mm bore and a 30mm full stroke. An external threaded stop with a lock nut lets you set the extend end-position on the machine, yielding a usable forward range of 20 to 30mm. The retract movement remains completely unaffected. As a big-bore variant, this unit handles strokes up to 300mm while retaining a space-saving body profile.
Because the piston area is unchanged, output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this size. You get 10053.1N push and 9424.8N pull at 0.5MPa, rising to 14074.3N push at 0.7MPa. The rod end features an M24x3.0 female thread, and the adjuster utilizes an M36x2.0 thread. Fixed NBR elastomer bumpers absorb impact at both ends, while the included -S magnet allows tracking via reed or solid-state switches.

| Rod thread | M24×3.0 (F) / M36×1.5 (B) |
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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø160mm)
| 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.

Where the Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X30-10S Is Used
Press Tooling Changeover
Adapt heavy-duty press fixtures by dialing in the 20 to 30mm extend stop to match varying die heights during product line changeovers.
Large Assembly Positioning
Set exact end positions for bulky automotive component alignment without machining custom spacers, leveraging the 10053.1N push force.
Pallet Stop Tuning
Fine-tune the stopping point of heavy pallets on a conveyor by adjusting the external M36x2.0 stopper nut directly on the production floor.
Is the Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X30-10S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160mm bore unit, dropping down to the 140mm variant reduces thrust to 7696.9N push at 0.5MPa, whereas stepping up is not available within this compact family. If your process never requires altering the forward end-point, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder will accomplish the same task. To order, confirm the 160mm bore, 30mm full stroke, 10mm adjuster window, -S magnet, and female rod thread. Note that a plain ACQ-type cylinder will not hold its load on air loss; install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe positioning.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Need on-machine end-position tuning?
- ✓ Full stroke and adjust window (mm)
- ✓ Force at your working pressure
- ✓ Magnet (S) for sensors?
- ✓ Female (blank) or male (B) rod thread
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Lock the adjuster nut after setting the stop.
- check The stop limits the EXTEND stroke only.
- check Avoid side load on the short piston rod.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X30-10S FAQ
It delivers 10053.1N push and 9424.8N pull at 0.5MPa, 14074.3N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum push of 2050kgf at 1.0MPa. The full stroke is 30mm with a 10mm adjustable window, giving a usable extend range of 20 to 30mm.
No, the external M36x2.0 threaded stop only limits the forward travel distance; the piston area remains the same so force is unchanged. Deceleration is handled by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end, not an adjustable air cushion, so external shock absorbers are recommended for high-energy loads.
