Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X300-100S
The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X300-100S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø160mm bore and 300mm 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 ACQJ160X300-100S
The AirTAC ACQJ160X300-100S is a large-bore JIS compact cylinder featuring a double-acting single rod and an external stroke adjuster. A threaded stop with a lock nut on the extend side permits you to fine-tune the forward end position directly on your machinery. With a 100mm adjustment window, the usable extend range spans 200mm up to the full 300mm stroke. The retract distance remains completely unaffected.
Because the piston diameter is unchanged, output force matches a standard ACQ exactly, delivering 10053.1N push at 0.5MPa. The unit incorporates fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end and a built-in piston magnet for position sensing. It operates at speeds from 30 to 500mm/s using a PT3/8 port.

| Model | Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X300-100S |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQJ JIS compact adjustable-stroke cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø160 mm |
| Full stroke | 300 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 ACQJ160X300-100S Is Used
Heavy Press Tonnage Tuning
Dial in the exact forming depth on large metal-stamping presses during tooling setup without machining custom spacers.
Variable Bender Stops
Adjust the extend endpoint on the fly for thick-walled pipe bending machines to accommodate different bend angles.
Palletizing Height Changes
Modify the extend position to handle varying pallet or container heights during automated packaging line changeovers.
Is the Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X300-100S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160mm bore unit, stepping down to the 140mm variant lowers the 0.5MPa push output to 7696.9N, while stepping up is not available as this is the largest big-bore compact option. A fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder suffices if your extend endpoint never varies between production runs. Confirm your ordering details: 160mm bore, 300mm full stroke, 100mm window, S magnet, and a female M24x3.0 rod-end thread.
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 ACQJ160X300-100S FAQ
This 160mm bore cylinder provides 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 300mm with a 100mm window, yielding a usable extend range of 200-300mm. It features a 40mm rod, a PT3/8 port, a female M24x3.0 rod-end thread, and an M36x2.0 adjuster thread.
The external threaded stop with lock nut limits only the extend distance, meaning the output force stays identical to a standard ACQ since the piston area is unchanged. The retract stroke is unaffected. Fixed elastomer bumpers decelerate movement at the ends, but a plain ACQ will not hold a load on air loss; for fail-safe holding, add an external rod lock.
