The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ80-100 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ80X40-40S 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 ACQJ80X40-40S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring an external threaded stop with a lock nut that limits the extend end position. You can fine-tune the usable extend stroke anywhere from 0 mm up to the full 40 mm directly on the machine, while the retract stroke remains completely unaffected.
Because the piston area stays the same, the output force equals a standard ACQ of this bore, delivering 2513.2 N push and 2267.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa. The unit integrates a fixed elastomer bumper for end-stop deceleration and includes a piston magnet (-S) for position sensing. It uses a PT3/8 port and a 25 mm rod with an M16x2.0 female rod-end thread.

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 | 2513 N | 2268 N |
| 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.

Dial in the exact clamping reach on a CNC fixture without machining new spacers, shortening the extend stroke by up to 40 mm to accommodate varying raw stock thicknesses.
Adjust the extend stop on a packaging line diverter gate to test different carton sizes on the fly, ensuring precise routing without replacing the cylinder.
Set trial end positions on a light-duty assembly press, tweaking the extend stroke down from 40 mm to find the optimal forming depth before finalizing the mechanical setup.
If your application needs less thrust, the adjacent 63 mm bore yields 1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the 100 mm bore provides 3927.0 N. Choose this 80 mm bore if you require exactly 2513.2 N of push force alongside a 0-40 mm adjustable extend window. A fixed-stroke ACQ suffices if the extend end position never varies. Confirm your ordering essentials: 80 mm bore, 40 mm full stroke, 40 mm window, S magnet, and female rod thread.
Quick checklist
This cylinder provides 2513.2 N push and 2267.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 3518.5 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The usable extend range is 0-40 mm (40 mm full stroke minus the 40 mm window). It features a 25 mm rod, an M16x2.0 female rod-end thread, an M20x1.5 external adjuster thread, and a PT3/8 port.
The external M20x1.5 threaded stop with a lock nut mechanically limits how far the rod extends, shortening the stroke length only. The force remains identical to a standard ACQ because the piston area is unchanged. A fixed elastomer bumper decelerates the load at stroke ends, but the cylinder will drift on air loss; use an external rod lock for fail-safe load holding.
