The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ80-100 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ80X80-20 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 ACQJ80X80-20 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring an external threaded stop with a lock nut. This mechanism permits on-machine extend end-position tuning, yielding a usable outward travel span of 60 to 80 mm. The inward return distance remains completely unaffected by this adjustment.
Because the piston area stays constant, output force equals that of a standard ACQ counterpart, delivering 2513.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa. The unit integrates fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for end-of-travel deceleration and 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.

If your application requires less thrust, the ACQJ63 bore provides 1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the ACQJ100 bore yields 3927.0 N. A fixed-stroke ACQ80 is sufficient if the outward endpoint never needs tweaking. To order this adjustable variant correctly, confirm the 80 mm bore, 80 mm full stroke, 20 mm window, female M16x2.0 rod end, and PT3/8 porting.
Quick checklist
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 20 mm window allows the extend stroke to be shortened from 80 mm down to 60 mm, while the retract stroke stays at 80 mm.
An external M20x1.5 threaded stop with a lock nut mechanically limits the outward travel distance, leaving piston area and force unchanged. Deceleration relies on fixed NBR elastomer bumpers, not adjustable air cushions. Because it lacks a rod lock, the cylinder cannot hold a load if air pressure drops and will drift.
