The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ80-100 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ80X5-10S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø80mm bore and 5mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The AirTAC ACQJ80X5-10S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring an external threaded stop with a lock nut that limits the EXTEND end position. With a full stroke of 5mm and a 10mm adjustment window, the usable extend range runs from 0 up to 5mm. The RETRACT stroke remains completely unaffected by this mechanism. An M20x1.5 adjuster thread enables fine-tuning without swapping parts.
Because the piston area is unchanged, the output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this 80mm bore. The cylinder delivers 2513.2N push and 2267.8N pull at 0.5MPa. It features fixed elastomer NBR bumpers at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration, and the -S piston magnet works with reed or 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 precise 0-5mm clamping pressure on varying thickness workpieces without re-engineering the fixture.
Adjust the extend end position rapidly on a packaging line when switching to a different carton format.
Test trial end positions on a new assembly rig, fine-tuning the extend stop to find the exact operating point.
For sizing context, stepping down to a 63mm bore yields 1558.6N push, while stepping up to a 100mm bore provides 3927.0N push at 0.5MPa. If your application requires a fixed 5mm extend stroke without on-machine variation, a standard ACQ80X5 is sufficient. When ordering this adjustable version, confirm the 80mm bore, 5mm full stroke, 10mm window, the -S magnet for sensor grooves, and the default female M16x2.0 rod-end thread with PT3/8 port.
Quick checklist
Force is identical to a standard ACQ: 2513.2N push and 2267.8N pull at 0.5MPa, 3518.5N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum push of 513kgf at 1.0MPa. The full stroke is 5mm with a 10mm window, giving a usable extend range of 0-5mm. The retract stroke is unaffected.
An external M20x1.5 threaded stop with a lock nut mechanically limits the extend stroke; it changes stroke length only, leaving piston area and force unchanged. The cylinder uses fixed elastomer bumpers, not adjustable air cushions. It will not hold a load on air loss—use an external rod lock for fail-safe holding.
