The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ80-100 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ80X60-40SB 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 ACQJ80X60-40SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with an external threaded stop and lock nut that limits the extend end position. You get an on-machine usable extend range of 20 to 60 mm (the 60 mm full stroke minus up to a 40 mm window). The retract stroke remains completely unaffected. Because the piston area stays constant, the output force is identical to a standard ACQ of the same bore.
This model provides a push force of 2513.2 N at 0.5 MPa. It includes the -S magnet for compatibility with reed or electronic solid-state switches, and the -B male piston rod end (M22x1.5) for direct load coupling. Deceleration relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end, not an adjustable air cushion.

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.

| 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.

If 2513.2 N push at 0.5 MPa is excessive, step down to the 63 mm bore yielding 1558.6 N. If your application requires more thrust, the 100 mm bore provides 3927.0 N. Choose this ACQJ variant only when setup-varying extend end positions are needed; otherwise, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder is simpler. When ordering, verify the 80 mm bore, 60 mm full stroke, 40 mm window, -S magnet, and -B male rod thread.
Quick checklist
Push force is 2513.2 N and pull is 2267.8 N at 0.5 MPa. Push at 0.7 MPa is 3518.5 N, with a maximum push of 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The full stroke is 60 mm with a 40 mm window, yielding a usable extend range of 20 to 60 mm.
An external M20x1.5 threaded stop with a lock nut limits the extend stroke length, but force remains identical to a standard ACQ since the piston area is unchanged. The cylinder uses fixed elastomer bumpers for deceleration. A plain ACQ-type does not hold its load on air loss; use an external rod lock for a fail-safe hold.
