The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ80-100 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ80X60-40B 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 ACQJ80X60-40B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring an external threaded stop with a lock nut that limits the extend stroke. You get a usable extend range of 20 to 60 mm because the 40 mm adjustment window shortens the 60 mm full stroke. The retract movement remains completely unaffected. A male M22x1.5 thread on the piston rod couples directly to your load.
Because the piston area stays the same, output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this 80 mm bore. The fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends decelerate the motion near stroke limits rather than using adjustable air cushions. The body includes sensor grooves, but this specific unit ships without a magnet. A plain compact cylinder will drift and lose its load on air loss, so add an external rod lock for fail-safe holding.

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 milling machine without machining new stop collars.
Quickly reset the extend endpoint during product family transitions on automated assembly equipment.
Test and set precise push distances for different carton sizes on packaging lines before final lock down.
Choosing this 80 mm bore gives 2513.2 N push and 2267.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, the 63 mm bore provides 1558.6 N push, or step up to the 100 mm bore for 3927.0 N push. A fixed-stroke ACQ is sufficient if your end position never varies. When ordering, verify the 60 mm full stroke, the 40 mm window, the male M22x1.5 rod thread, and the PT3/8 port.
Quick checklist
The usable extend range is 20-60 mm. It delivers 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.
An M20x1.5 threaded adjuster with a lock nut limits the extend stroke length only. It does not change the piston area, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. Fixed elastomer bumpers handle end deceleration, and you must add an external rod lock for fail-safe load holding.
