The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ80-100 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ80X80-10S 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 ACQJ80X80-10S 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 extend travel on the machine anywhere in a 70-80mm usable range without changing parts, while the retract stroke remains a fixed 80mm. The adjuster mechanism alters travel length only, so output force stays identical to a standard ACQ of the same bore.
This 80mm bore unit delivers 2513.2N push force at 0.5MPa using a 25mm piston rod. It features fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet compatible with reed or solid-state electronic switches for position sensing.

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 |

| 0.7 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 within the 70-80mm window on a CNC machining fixture to accommodate varying raw casting lengths without swapping mechanical hard stops.
Adjust the extend endpoint of a product diverter arm on a packaging line during rapid product-changeover runs to hit different carton widths on the fly.
Set trial end positions for a sheet-metal back-gauge in a press brake, tweaking the 10mm window to find the perfect bend angle before locking the nut.
This 80mm bore provides 2513.2N push at 0.5MPa; stepping down to a 63mm bore yields 1558.6N, while moving up to 100mm gives 3927.0N. If your extend position never varies, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder is simpler and sufficient. When ordering, verify the 80mm bore, 80mm full stroke, 10mm window, -S magnet option, and the default female M16x2.0 rod-end thread.
Quick checklist
The usable extend range is 70-80mm. Force is identical to a standard ACQ: 2513.2N push and 2267.8N pull at 0.5MPa, 3518.5N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum push of 513kgf at 1.0MPa.
The M20x1.5 external threaded stop with lock nut limits extend travel without changing piston area, so force is unchanged. Fixed NBR bumpers decelerate the load near stroke ends, but the cylinder will drift on air loss; use an external rod lock for fail-safe holding.
