The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ80-100 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ80X45-10SB 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 ACQJ80X45-10SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring an external threaded stop and lock nut that limits the extend end position. With a full stroke of 45 mm and a 10 mm adjustment window, you can fine-tune the usable extend range from 35 to 45 mm directly on the machine. The retract stroke remains completely unaffected. Because the piston area stays constant, output force equals a standard ACQ of the same bore.
This 80 mm bore unit delivers 2513.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a 25 mm piston rod and PT3/8 port. It includes a male M22x1.5 rod-end thread for direct load coupling and an M20x1.5 adjuster thread. The body relies on fixed elastomer NBR bumpers at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions. An integrated piston magnet allows positioning feedback using either reed or electronic solid-state switches.

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 extend stroke from 35 to 45 mm on a CNC machining fixture to accommodate raw part size variations without swapping out cylinder hardware.
Adjust the extend end position on packaging line diverters during format changeovers to route different box widths accurately on the fly.
Set trial end positions on an automated assembly press, tweaking the 10 mm window to find the exact contact force before locking the nut down.
Selecting this 80 mm bore provides 2513.2 N push and 2267.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less force, stepping down to a 63 mm bore yields 1558.6 N push, whereas moving up to a 100 mm bore offers 3927.0 N push. A fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder is sufficient if your end position never varies, but this ACQJ variant is necessary when setups demand on-machine end-position tuning. Confirm your ordering essentials: 80 mm bore, 45 mm full stroke, 10 mm window, magnet (-S), and male rod thread (-B).
Quick checklist
The usable extend range is 35 to 45 mm. Force is identical to a standard ACQ: 2513.2 N push and 2267.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 3518.5 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum push of 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The external M20x1.5 threaded stop with lock nut limits the extend stroke length only, leaving retract unaffected and force unchanged. The cylinder uses fixed elastomer bumpers, not adjustable air cushions. Note that a plain ACQ-type does not hold its load on air loss; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe holding.
