The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ80-100 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ80X60-20B is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø80mm bore and 60mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The AirTAC ACQJ80X60-20B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 60mm stroke and a male-threaded (M22x1.5) piston rod end that couples directly to your load. An external M20x1.5 threaded stop with a lock nut limits the extend end position, providing a usable extend range of 40 to 60mm. The retract stroke remains unaffected by this adjustment.
Because the piston area is unchanged, output force is identical to a standard ACQ of the same bore: 2513.2N push and 2267.8N pull at 0.5MPa. The body uses a PT3/8 port, operates at 30-500mm/s, and relies on fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end rather than adjustable air cushions. Note that this specific SKU ships without a magnet, though the body retains sensor grooves for adding switches if needed later.

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 extend stop during initial commissioning of an automated lathe without machining custom spacer rings.
Quickly alter the extend position from 60mm down to 40mm on a packaging line when switching to a different carton size.
Test various extend endpoints on a new assembly fixture to find the optimal clamping depth before finalizing the design.
Selecting this 80mm bore provides 2513.2N push at 0.5MPa; stepping down to a 63mm bore drops push to 1558.6N, while a 100mm bore raises it to 3927.0N. If your machine never requires end-position tuning, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder suffices. When ordering, confirm the 80mm bore, 60mm full stroke, 20mm adjustment window, the male M22x1.5 rod thread, and that no magnet (-S) is present.
Quick checklist
Force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore: 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 usable extend range is 40-60mm (60mm full stroke minus up to 20mm via the external stop).
The external M20x1.5 threaded stop limits only the extend stroke length, leaving retract unchanged and not altering piston force. The cylinder uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers for end-of-stroke deceleration instead of adjustable air cushions. It will not hold a load on air loss, so use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe holding.
