The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ80-100 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ80X60-30 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 ACQJ80X60-30 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring an external threaded stop with a lock nut to limit the extend end position. You can fine-tune the usable extend travel from 30 mm up to the full 60 mm directly on your machinery. The retract stroke remains unaffected by this adjustment. An M20x1.5 adjuster thread handles the stroke reduction.
Because the piston area stays constant, the output force is identical to a standard ACQ of the same bore. This 80 mm bore unit delivers 2513.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and features a 25 mm piston rod with a female M16x2.0 rod-end thread. It uses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion. The body includes sensor 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.

Quickly modify the pusher end position during packaging line changeovers to accommodate varying box dimensions on the fly.
Safely test intermediate material bending depths on metalworking equipment by limiting the extend stroke before committing to a final mechanical stop.
When sizing this 80 mm bore actuator, consider the adjacent options in the range. Stepping down to a 63 mm bore drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 1558.6 N, while stepping up to a 100 mm bore increases it significantly to 3927.0 N. If your application requires a fixed 60 mm stroke without any on-machine adjustability, a standard ACQ series cylinder will suffice. To order this adjustable version correctly, confirm the 80 mm bore, the 60 mm full stroke, the 30 mm adjustment window, the female rod thread, and whether you need the S magnet option for reed or solid-state switches.
Quick checklist
The usable extend range is 30-60 mm (the 60 mm full stroke minus the 30 mm adjustment window). 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, and a maximum push of 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The external M20x1.5 threaded stop only shortens the extend stroke; it does not alter the piston area or force. The cylinder relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper for deceleration at each end. Note that a plain ACQ-type cylinder does not hold its load on air loss, so an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is recommended for fail-safe holding.
