The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ80-100 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ80X60-30B 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 ACQJ80X60-30B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with an external threaded stop and lock nut that limits the EXTEND end position. You can fine-tune the usable extend range from 30 mm up to the full 60 mm stroke directly on the machine, while the RETRACT stroke remains completely unaffected. It features a PT3/8 port, a 25 mm piston rod, and a male M22x1.5 rod-end thread (-B) that couples directly to your load.
Because the adjuster only restricts travel length and leaves piston area untouched, the generated force is identical to a standard ACQ of the same bore. The cylinder relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion. The body includes magnetic-switch grooves, though this specific configuration ships without a sensor 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.

Dial in the exact extend position for varying part lengths on a CNC lathe without swapping out physical spacer rings or fabricating custom stops.
Adjust the extend end stop to accommodate different carton sizes on a packaging line during rapid product format transitions.
Set precise trial end positions for a clamping or press operation to verify tooling clearance before locking down the final stroke length.
For 0.5 MPa pneumatic push requirements, this 80 mm bore yields 2513.2 N. If you need less force, the next size down is a 63 mm bore providing 1558.6 N push; if your application demands more, stepping up to a 100 mm bore offers 3927.0 N. Choose this adjustable model when trial end positions or product-changeover stops require on-the-fly repositioning without machining new parts; otherwise, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder suffices. To order, confirm the 80 mm bore, 60 mm full stroke, 30 mm adjustment window, male M22x1.5 rod thread, and that no magnet (-S) is required.
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. The maximum push force is 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The usable extend range is 30 to 60 mm, created by the 30 mm adjustment window subtracted from the 60 mm full stroke.
The external M20x1.5 threaded stop with a lock nut limits how far the rod extends, shortening the extend stroke without changing the piston area, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. The retract stroke is unaffected. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR elastomer bumper, not an adjustable air cushion, so for high kinetic energy loads you should slow the approach or add an external shock absorber.
