The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ80-100 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ80X45-10B is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø80mm bore and 45mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The AirTAC ACQJ80X45-10B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a male-thread piston rod (M22x1.5) that couples directly to your load. An external threaded stop with a lock nut limits the extend end position, providing a usable extend range of 35-45mm (the 45mm full stroke minus the 10mm window). The retract stroke remains completely unaffected by this adjustment.
Because the piston area is unchanged, the output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore, delivering 2513.2N push and 2267.8N pull at 0.5MPa. The unit uses a PT3/8 port and incorporates a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion. The body retains magnetic-switch 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.
| 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 35 to 45mm clamp extension on a CNC fixture without machining new spacers for every part revision.
Set precise end positions for pressing bearings, allowing operators to fine-tune the 10mm window directly on the assembly line.
Modify the folding arm extension on packaging equipment to accommodate different carton depths rapidly during product changeovers.
For lower force needs, the 63mm bore yields 1558.6N push at 0.5MPa, while stepping up to 100mm provides 3927.0N push. If your extend endpoint never varies, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder is sufficient. When ordering this adjustable variant, confirm the 80mm bore, 45mm full stroke, 10mm window, the male rod thread (-B), and whether you need a magnet (-S) for sensing.
Quick checklist
The push force is 2513.2N and pull is 2267.8N at 0.5MPa (3518.5N push at 0.7MPa), with a maximum push of 513kgf at 1.0MPa. The usable extend range is 35-45mm (45mm full stroke minus the 10mm window). It features an 80mm bore, PT3/8 port, M22x1.5 male rod thread, and an M20x1.5 external adjuster thread.
The external stop screw with a lock nut limits only the extend stroke; the retract stroke and piston area remain unchanged, so force stays identical to a standard ACQ. The cylinder uses a fixed elastomer bumper for deceleration, not an adjustable cushion. It will not hold a load on air loss, so an external rod lock is recommended for fail-safe holding.
