Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X30-10SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X30-10SB 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 ACQJ160X30-10SB
The AirTAC ACQJ160X30-10SB represents the big-bore JIS compact pneumatic line, engineered for double-acting single-rod operations. An external threaded stop complete with a lock nut restricts the outward travel, providing an adjustable extend window from 20 mm up to the full 30 mm. The inward return motion remains completely unaffected. Because the internal piston area stays constant, output force equals that of a standard ACQ counterpart: 10053.1 N push and 9424.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa.
This massive actuator features a 40 mm piston rod and a male M36x1.5 thread end (-B) to couple directly to your heavy load. It includes a piston magnet (-S) compatible with reed or solid-state electronic switches. Deceleration relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end rather than an adjustable air cushion. Remember that a plain compact cylinder drifts upon air loss; utilize an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe load holding.

| Model | Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X30-10SB |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQJ JIS compact adjustable-stroke cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø160 mm |
| Full stroke | 30 mm |
| Adjuster thread | M36×2.0 |
| Port size | PT3/8 |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.15 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 30 – 500 mm/s |
| 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 ACQJ160X30-10SB Is Used
Press Tonnage Setup
Dial in the exact 20 to 30 mm extend position during stamping press tooling changes without machining new spacer blocks.
Heavy Fixture Positioning
Adjust the outward stop on large welding fixtures to accommodate different chassis dimensions rapidly on the factory floor.
Lift Platform Limits
Fine-tune the upward travel limit of heavy pneumatic lift tables to safely clear overhead obstructions before full extension.
Is the Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X30-10SB the Right Cylinder?
As the largest available frame, stepping down requires two bores to reach the 140 mm variant, which yields 7696.9 N push at 0.5 MPa. If your application demands the full 14074.3 N push at 0.7 MPa or the 2050 kgf maximum push at 1.0 MPa, this 160 mm bore is the correct choice. Should your end position never vary, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder suffices and avoids adjuster overhang. When ordering this specific unit, confirm the 160 mm bore, 30 mm full stroke, 10 mm adjuster window, male rod thread (-B), and magnet (-S).
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 ACQJ160X30-10SB FAQ
The push force is 10053.1 N and pull is 9424.8 N at 0.5 MPa, with a push of 14074.3 N at 0.7 MPa and a maximum push of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The full stroke is 30 mm with a 10 mm adjustable window, yielding a usable extend range of 20-30 mm. The external adjuster utilizes an M36x2.0 thread.
The external threaded stop and lock nut mechanically limit the extend distance without changing the piston area, meaning force remains identical to a standard ACQ. The retract stroke stays fixed. End-of-travel deceleration relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper, not an adjustable air cushion; for high kinetic energy loads, add an external shock absorber.
