The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ80-100 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ80X70-20 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø80mm bore and 70mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The AirTAC ACQJ80X70-20 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 50 to 70 mm directly on the machine without swapping parts, while the retract stroke remains unaffected. The adjuster features an M20x1.5 thread.
Because the piston area is unchanged, the force output is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore, delivering 2513.2 N push and 2267.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa. The unit relies on 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.

Dial in the exact clamping reach on multi-part machining fixtures by turning the external stop, accommodating various raw blank lengths without fabricating custom spacers.
Adapt end-of-stroke positions rapidly during product family changeovers on automated assembly lines, ensuring precise positioning for different component heights.
Modify the extend distance of carton sealing or tucking arms to handle varying package dimensions, preventing overtravel and crushing delicate boxes.
When sizing this 80 mm bore actuator, note it provides 2513.2 N push at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less force, the next smaller bore (63 mm) yields 1558.6 N push, whereas the larger 100 mm option provides 3927.0 N. If the exact 70 mm extend length is constant and never needs tuning, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder is sufficient. To order, confirm the 80 mm bore, 70 mm full stroke, 20 mm adjuster window, female rod-end thread M16x2.0, and the absence of the S magnet option.
Quick checklist
The usable extend range is 50 to 70 mm (a 20 mm window off the 70 mm full stroke). 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.
An external M20x1.5 threaded stop with a lock nut mechanically limits the extend length; it changes stroke travel only and does not alter piston area, so force remains unchanged. The cylinder uses a fixed elastomer bumper for deceleration and will drift if air pressure is lost, so an external rod lock is needed for fail-safe load holding.
