The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ80-100 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ80X60-40S 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 ACQJ80X60-40S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring an external extend stop. A threaded adjuster with a lock nut lets you fine-tune the outward end position on the machine, yielding a usable extend range of 20 to 60 mm from the 60 mm full stroke. The return stroke remains fixed and unaffected.
Because the piston area is unchanged, output force equals a standard ACQ of this bore: 2513.2 N push and 2267.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa. The unit integrates a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end and includes a built-in piston magnet for reed or solid-state sensing.

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 20 to 60 mm extend position on a CNC lathe bar puller to accommodate different raw material lengths without machining custom spacers.
Swiftly reposition a packaging line's end-of-stroke flap folder by turning the M20x1.5 adjuster thread instead of swapping out mechanical hardstops.
Iteratively test engagement depth on an electronic component insertion press by trimming the outward stroke in fine increments until the pin seats correctly.
For lower push requirements, the 63 mm bore delivers 1558.6 N at 0.5 MPa, whereas the 100 mm bore provides 3927.0 N for heavier loads. If the exact 60 mm extend position never varies, a fixed ACQ cylinder suffices. When ordering this adjustable unit, verify the 80 mm bore, 60 mm full stroke, 40 mm window, female M16x2.0 rod thread, and the -S magnet option.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it delivers 2513.2 N push and 2267.8 N pull; at 0.7 MPa push is 3518.5 N; max push is 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The full stroke is 60 mm with a 40 mm window, giving a usable extend range of 20-60 mm. The port is PT3/8, female rod-end thread is M16x2.0, and the external adjuster thread is M20x1.5.
No, the adjuster only changes the extend stroke length, leaving force identical to a standard ACQ. The rod end uses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper for end-of-stroke deceleration, not an adjustable air cushion or brake. Note that this cylinder will drift and not hold a load on air loss; use an external rod lock for fail-safe holding.
