Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X300-10SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X300-10SB 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 ACQJ160X300-10SB
The AirTAC ACQJ160X300-10SB is a double-acting, single-rod JIS compact cylinder from the big-bore range, supporting standard strokes up to 300 mm. It features a 160 mm bore, a PT3/8 port, and a male-thread piston rod end (M36x1.5) that couples directly to your load. An external threaded stop with a lock nut limits the EXTEND end position, allowing on-machine end-position tuning without swapping parts.
This model provides a usable extend range of 290-300 mm (a 10 mm adjustable window off the 300 mm full stroke), while the RETRACT stroke remains unaffected. The adjuster only alters stroke length, so force stays identical to a standard ACQ of this size: pushing 10053.1 N and pulling 9424.8 N at 0.5 MPa. Deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end, and the built-in magnet (-S) works with reed or electronic solid-state switches.

| Model | Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X300-10SB |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQJ160X300-10SB Is Used
Heavy Press Setup
Dial in the exact 290-300 mm extend position during heavy press setup, accommodating varying material thicknesses without machining new spacers.
Product Changeover Stops
Adjust the extend end stop on a large conveyor diverter during product family changeovers, matching new pallet dimensions rapidly on the floor.
Stamping Trial Positions
Test trial end positions on a large stamping line, fine-tuning the 10 mm window to find the optimal contact point before finalizing hard stops.
Is the Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X300-10SB the Right Cylinder?
Select this 160 mm bore actuator when your fixture requires substantial thrust (10053.1 N push at 0.5 MPa) alongside precise extend-end tuning. If you do not need to vary the end position, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder of the same bore suffices. For comparison, stepping down to a 140 mm bore yields 7696.9 N push, whereas no larger standard bore exists in this series. When ordering, confirm the 300 mm full stroke, the 10 mm window, the -S magnet, and the -B male rod 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 ACQJ160X300-10SB FAQ
Force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore: 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 300 mm, and the external stop provides a usable extend range of 290-300 mm (a 10 mm window).
An external M36x2.0 threaded stop with a lock nut limits the extend stroke, allowing on-machine tuning without changing parts. The retract stroke is unaffected. Deceleration relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper, not an adjustable air cushion. For load holding on air loss, use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve, as the bumper only decelerates near stroke end.
