The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ80-100 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ80X80-20B 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 ACQJ80X80-20B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring an external threaded stop that limits the extend stroke. You can fine-tune the extend end position on the machine itself, yielding a usable extend range of 60-80mm out of the 80mm full stroke. The retract distance remains completely unaffected by this adjustment. Because the piston area stays the same, output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore.
This unit delivers 2513.2N of push force and 2267.8N of pull force at 0.5MPa, reaching 3518.5N push at 0.7MPa. 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. 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 stop during trial cuts on a CNC fixture, shortening the stroke up to 20mm to accommodate different raw casting lengths without swapping cylinders.
Adjust the pusher end position on a packaging line diverter to handle varying carton widths, using the external M20x1.5 adjuster to set the 60-80mm range precisely.
Set the exact lower end position for a pressing operation on an assembly line, fine-tuning the contact depth on the machine without disassembling the tooling.
Stepping down to a 63mm bore lowers the 0.5MPa push force to 1558.6N, while a 100mm bore raises it to 3927.0N. Choose this 80mm option when you need approximately 2513N of push and on-the-fly stroke tuning. If the extend position never varies, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder is sufficient. When ordering, verify the 80mm bore, 80mm full stroke, 20mm window, male M22x1.5 rod thread, and confirm whether a magnet is needed since this variant lacks one.
Quick checklist
At 0.5MPa, the push force is 2513.2N and the pull force is 2267.8N. At 0.7MPa, the push force is 3518.5N, with a maximum push of 513kgf at 1.0MPa. The usable extend range is 60-80mm, meaning the 20mm window allows shortening the 80mm full extend stroke by up to 20mm.
The external threaded stop with a lock nut physically limits how far the rod extends, changing only the stroke length and not the piston area, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. The retract stroke is unaffected. Deceleration is handled by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end, not an adjustable air cushion.
