The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ80-100 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ80X40-40B is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø80mm bore and 40mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The AirTAC ACQJ80X40-40B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a male-threaded piston rod (M22x1.5) and an external M20x1.5 threaded stop with a lock nut. This mechanism lets you limit the extend end position on the machine, providing a usable extend range of 0-40mm from the 40mm full stroke. The retract distance remains completely unaffected.
Because the adjuster only restricts travel and not the piston area, force output is identical to a standard ACQ of the same bore. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 2513.2N of push and 2267.8N of pull. The body incorporates fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration, and includes sensor grooves, though this specific configuration ships without a magnet.

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.

| 0.7 MPa | 3519 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 513 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.

For a 0.5 MPa push requirement around 2513N, the 80mm bore is appropriate; dropping to a 63mm bore yields 1558.6N, while a 100mm bore provides 3927N. If your extend end position never varies, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder is sufficient, but this adjustable model excels in setups requiring frequent end-position tuning. When ordering, verify the 40mm full stroke, the 40mm adjustment window, the male rod thread, and the PT3/8 port. Note that a plain cylinder will not hold its load on air loss; add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe holding.
Quick checklist
It delivers 2513.2N push and 2267.8N pull at 0.5 MPa, 3518.5N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The full stroke is 40mm with a 40mm adjustment window, giving a usable extend range of 0-40mm. The piston rod is 25mm with a male M22x1.5 thread, the adjuster thread is M20x1.5, and the port is PT3/8.
The external threaded stop with a lock nut physically limits how far the rod extends, shortening the extend stroke without changing the piston area, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. The retract stroke is unaffected. Deceleration is handled by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end, not an adjustable air cushion, so for high-speed or high-energy loads you should add an external shock absorber or slow the approach.
