The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ80-100 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ80X80-10B is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø80mm bore and 80mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The AirTAC ACQJ80X80-10B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with an external threaded stop and lock nut that limits the extend stroke. You can fine-tune the end position on the machine itself, yielding a usable extend range of 70-80mm (full 80mm stroke minus up to a 10mm window). The retract stroke remains unaffected by this adjustment. Because the piston area stays the same, the output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore.
This bore 80mm unit pushes 2513.2N and pulls 2267.8N at 0.5MPa, with a maximum push capacity of 513kgf at 1.0MPa. It features a 25mm piston rod with a male M22x1.5 thread end for direct load coupling, a PT3/8 port, and fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration. 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 extend position on a milling fixture to accommodate different raw casting lengths without machining new stop collars.
Adjust the stroke on a packaging line diverter to handle new carton sizes on the fly, using the lock nut to secure the new end point.
Set trial end positions during an assembly press setup to find the optimal pressing depth before locking the adjuster down for production.
Choosing this bore 80mm model provides robust force, stepping up from a bore 63 unit that delivers 1558.6N push at 0.5MPa, or stepping down from a bore 100 cylinder generating 3927.0N push at 0.5MPa. If your application never requires end-position shifts, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder will suffice. When ordering, confirm the 80mm bore, 80mm full stroke, 10mm adjustment window, the male M22x1.5 rod thread, and note that no magnet is installed.
Quick checklist
The usable extend range is 70-80mm (80mm full stroke minus a 10mm window). Force is identical to a standard ACQ: push is 2513.2N and pull is 2267.8N at 0.5MPa, push is 3518.5N at 0.7MPa, and maximum push is 513kgf at 1.0MPa.
The external M20x1.5 threaded stop with a lock nut limits how far the rod extends, but it does not change the piston area, so force remains unchanged. Fixed elastomer bumpers handle deceleration at stroke ends. Note that a plain cylinder does not hold its load on air loss; use an external rod lock for fail-safe holding.
