The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ80-100 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ80X5-10SB 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 ACQJ80X5-10SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with an external threaded stop and lock nut that limits the extend stroke. The full stroke is 5 mm, and the 10 mm adjustment window allows the usable extend range to be fine-tuned down to 0 mm. The retract stroke remains completely unaffected by this mechanism. Because the piston area is unchanged, the output force is identical to a standard ACQ of the same bore.
This model delivers 2513.2 N of push force and 2267.8 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. It features a 25 mm piston rod with a male M22x1.5 thread for direct load coupling, a PT3/8 port, and a built-in magnet (-S) for use with reed or solid-state switches. The fixed elastomer bumper decelerates the load at stroke ends, and the external adjuster utilizes an M20x1.5 thread for precise positioning.

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.

Dial in the exact 0 to 5 mm insertion depth for delicate bearing or bushing press fits without machining custom spacers or changing the cylinder body.
Adjust the external stop on a packaging line to accommodate varying carton sizes or flap heights, achieving rapid format changeover on the fly.
Test multiple end-of-stroke positions on a new robotic assembly cell to find the optimal clamping distance before finalizing the mechanical hard stops.
For applications requiring slightly less force, the 63 mm bore provides 1558.6 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 100 mm bore yields 3927.0 N. If the exact 5 mm extend position is permanently fixed and never requires on-machine tuning, a standard ACQ80X5 cylinder is sufficient. When ordering, confirm the 80 mm bore, 5 mm full stroke, 10 mm window, the -S magnet, and the -B male rod thread.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 2513.2 N and the pull force is 2267.8 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 3518.5 N, with a maximum push force of 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The full stroke is 5 mm with a 10 mm window, allowing a usable extend range of 0-5 mm.
The external M20x1.5 threaded stop with lock nut limits only the extend stroke; the retract stroke and the piston area remain unchanged, so the output force is identical to a standard ACQ. The cylinder relies on a fixed elastomer bumper for deceleration and will not hold the load on air loss, requiring an external rod lock for fail-safe holding.
