Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X50-10S
The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X50-10S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø160mm bore and 50mm 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 ACQJ160X50-10S
The AirTAC ACQJ160X50-10S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring an external threaded stop with a lock nut that restricts the extend end position. This big-bore unit provides a 10 mm adjustment window, allowing you to tune the usable extend stroke anywhere from 40 mm up to the full 50 mm without swapping parts. The retract movement remains completely unaffected.
Because the adjustment mechanism only limits travel length and leaves piston area untouched, output force stays identical to a standard ACQ of this size. The integrated -S piston magnet supports both reed and solid-state electronic switches, while fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends absorb end-of-travel impact without requiring manual cushioning valves.

| Model | Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X50-10S |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQJ JIS compact adjustable-stroke cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø160 mm |
| Full stroke | 50 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 ACQJ160X50-10S Is Used
Heavy Press Tonnage Setup
Dial in the exact 40-50 mm extend position during heavy press commissioning to accommodate different material thicknesses without machining new spacers.
Large Fixture Changeover
Adapt large assembly fixtures rapidly by turning the external M36x2.0 adjuster screw to meet new part dimensions during production line changeovers.
Stamping Trial Positions
Test multiple end stops on a heavy stamping press safely, relying on the fixed elastomer bumper to absorb impact while finding the optimal working depth.
Is the Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X50-10S the Right Cylinder?
Choosing this 160 mm bore delivers a theoretical push of 10053.1 N and pull of 9424.8 N at 0.5 MPa. If your application needs less force, dropping down to the 140 mm bore yields 7696.9 N of push, whereas stepping up is not possible as this is the largest available compact option. Select this specific adjustable model only if your fixture or product changeover requires varying extend end stops; otherwise, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder is sufficient. When ordering, verify the 50 mm full stroke, the 10 mm window, the -S magnet option, and the default 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 ACQJ160X50-10S FAQ
This cylinder provides a push force of 10053.1 N and a pull force of 9424.8 N at 0.5 MPa, a push of 14074.3 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The usable extend range is 40-50 mm, utilizing a 10 mm adjustment window from the 50 mm full stroke.
The external stop limits the extend stroke only, so the output force remains identical to a standard ACQ of the same bore. Fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends manage impact energy, though an external shock absorber is recommended for high-speed or high-mass loads.
