The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X75-10SB is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø160mm bore and 75mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The AirTAC ACQJ160X75-10SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder from the big-bore range, featuring a 75 mm full stroke and a 10 mm external adjustment window. An external threaded stop with a lock nut limits the extend end position, giving you a usable forward range of 65 to 75 mm. The retract stroke remains completely unaffected. Because the piston area stays constant, output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore.
This massive 160 mm bore unit pushes with 10053.1 N at 0.5 MPa and handles up to 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It includes a male M36x1.5 rod end (-B) for direct load coupling and a built-in piston magnet (-S) for position sensing. The body uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end rather than adjustable air cushions, operating reliably from -20 to +70 C at speeds of 30-500 mm/s.

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.
| 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.

Dial in the exact 65 to 75 mm extend stop on a large pneumatic press during tooling trials, locking the rod nut once the perfect striking depth is achieved.
Adapt a 160 mm clamping station to new oversized product dimensions by rotating the external M36x2.0 adjuster screw, avoiding the need to swap out the entire cylinder.
Set precise lower limits for heavy material lifters in a steel mill, relying on the 9424.8 N pull force to raise loads while tuning the extend endpoint to match varying pallet heights.
Selecting this 160 mm bore actuator provides 10053.1 N push force at 0.5 MPa; if you need less power, stepping down to a 140 mm bore yields 7696.9 N push, while moving up is impossible as this is the largest big-bore compact option. A fixed-stroke ACQ suffices if your end position never requires on-machine tweaking. Confirm your ordering essentials: 160 mm bore, 75 mm full stroke, 10 mm window, male rod thread, and the magnet for sensors.
Quick checklist
This 160 mm bore cylinder delivers 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 75 mm with a 10 mm window, allowing the usable extend range to be adjusted from 65 to 75 mm.
An external M36x2.0 threaded stop with a lock nut mechanically limits the forward stroke length, meaning force remains unchanged from a standard ACQ. The cylinder uses fixed elastomer bumpers for end deceleration. Note that a plain compact cylinder does not hold its load on air loss; for fail-safe holding, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
