The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ80-100 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ80X70-40 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 ACQJ80X70-40 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring an external threaded stop with a lock nut that limits the extend end position. You can fine-tune the usable extend range from 30 mm up to the full 70 mm directly on your equipment without swapping parts. The retract stroke remains completely unaffected by this adjustment.
Because the piston area is unchanged, output force is identical to a standard ACQ of the same bore, delivering 2513.2 N push at 0.5 MPa. The unit incorporates fixed elastomer bumpers at both ends rather than adjustable air cushions. It features a 25 mm piston rod, a PT3/8 port, and a female M16x2.0 rod-end thread, alongside an M20x1.5 external adjuster thread.

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 stop on multi-part machining fixtures to accommodate raw material thickness variations without manufacturing new spacer blocks.
Rapidly adapt sealing or folding head end positions during packaging line product changeovers by turning the external adjuster to the new required extend length.
Safely test trial end positions on automated assembly presses by limiting the extend stroke to 30 mm, preventing damage during initial equipment setup and dry-run cycling.
If your application requires less force, stepping down to a bore 63 unit yields 1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa. For heavier loads, moving up to a bore 100 cylinder provides 3927.0 N push. A fixed-stroke ACQ is sufficient if your extend end position never varies. To order this adjustable model correctly, confirm the 80 mm bore, 70 mm full stroke, 40 mm adjuster window, female rod thread, and whether you require a magnet for sensing.
Quick checklist
The 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. The usable extend range is 30-70 mm, allowing you to shorten the 70 mm full stroke by up to a 40 mm window.
An external M20x1.5 threaded stop with a lock nut mechanically limits how far the rod extends, leaving the retract stroke unaffected. The cylinder uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers, not adjustable air cushions. A plain ACQ-type cylinder does not hold its load on air loss; for a fail-safe hold, use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
