The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ125~160 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ160X75-75SB 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 ACQJ160X75-75SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder from the big-bore range, featuring a 160mm bore and 75mm full stroke. An external threaded stop with a lock nut limits the extend end position, yielding a usable extension range of 0-75mm. The retract stroke remains completely unaffected by this adjustment. Because the piston area stays constant, output force equals a standard ACQ of this identical bore.
Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa, generating 10053.1N push and 9424.8N pull at 0.5 MPa. This unit includes a male M36x1.5 rod end for direct coupling and a piston magnet for reed or solid-state switches. Deceleration relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end rather than an adjustable air cushion, making external shock absorbers advisable for high-energy loads.

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 extension distance on a large metalforming press during die-changeover without swapping the cylinder, shortening the 75mm stroke as needed for new part heights.
Fine-tune the raised stop position on a heavy-duty lifting rig, using the external M36x2.0 adjuster to set the platform height precisely between 0 and 75mm.
Adjust the end-of-stroke pusher location on a packaging conveyor to handle different pallet depths, relying on the fixed elastomer bumper to absorb the high kinetic energy.
Selecting this 160mm bore provides a 14074.3N push at 0.7 MPa, whereas stepping down to a 140mm bore yields 10775.7N push, and no larger standard bore exists in this series. If your extension endpoint never varies, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder suffices. When ordering, confirm the 160mm bore, 75mm full stroke, 75mm adjustment window, the -S magnet requirement, and the -B male M36x1.5 rod thread.
Quick checklist
It delivers 10053.1N push and 9424.8N pull at 0.5 MPa, 14074.3N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The full stroke is 75mm with a 75mm adjustment window, allowing a usable extend range of 0-75mm. The external adjuster uses an M36x2.0 thread.
The external threaded stop and lock nut mechanically limit the extend stroke without changing the piston area, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. The retract stroke is unaffected. The cylinder uses a fixed NBR bumper for deceleration, not a brake; a plain ACQ-type will not hold its load on air loss, so an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required for fail-safe holding.
