The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ80-100 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ80X70-30 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 ACQJ80X70-30 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring an external threaded stop that limits the extend end position. You can fine-tune the forward stroke on the machine across a 40 to 70 mm usable range without swapping parts, while the retract stroke stays fixed at its full length. The adjuster mechanism changes travel length only, meaning the piston area and resulting thrust remain completely identical to a standard ACQ unit.
This 80 mm bore actuator delivers 2513.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod with a female M16x2.0 end thread. It features fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than adjustable pneumatic cushions. Operating speeds span 30 to 500 mm/s, and the body includes magnetic-switch grooves ready for external sensors.

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 CNC machining centers during part changeovers, using the external stop to accommodate varying raw material widths without retooling.
Adjust the tucking arm extension on packaging lines to handle different box formats on the fly, ensuring precise folding without replacing the actuator.
Set trial end positions for pressing bearings or pins on automated assembly lines, allowing operators to tweak the 40 to 70 mm stroke window for delicate operations.
Choosing this 80 mm bore provides 2513.2 N push at 0.5 MPa, sitting between the smaller 63 mm option (1558.6 N push) and the larger 100 mm variant (3927.0 N push). If your application never requires end-position adjustments, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder will deliver the exact same power in a simpler package. When ordering this adjustable model, confirm the 70 mm full stroke, the 30 mm window, the default female rod thread, and whether you need a magnet for position sensing.
Quick checklist
The usable extend range is 40 to 70 mm (70 mm full stroke minus the 30 mm window). 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. The force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore.
An external M20x1.5 threaded stop with a lock nut limits the forward stroke, allowing you to shorten the extend length without affecting the retract stroke. The cylinder uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions, so external shock absorbers are recommended for high-energy loads.
