The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ80-100 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ80X90-100S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø80mm bore and 90mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The AirTAC ACQJ80X90-100S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with an external threaded stop and lock nut that limits the extend end position. The full stroke is 90 mm, and the -100 window allows the extend length to be shortened by up to 100 mm, yielding a usable extend range of 0-90 mm. The retract stroke remains unaffected by this adjustment. An M20x1.5 external adjuster thread enables precise on-machine end-position tuning without changing parts.
Because the piston area is unchanged, the force output is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 2513.2 N of push force and 2267.8 N of pull force, rising to 3518.5 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum push capacity of 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The bore uses a PT3/8 port, a 25 mm piston rod, and fixed elastomer NBR bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration. The -S option includes a built-in piston magnet compatible with reed or electronic solid-state switches.

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.

| 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 clamping reach on a CNC lathe during part-changeover, shortening the extend position to accommodate different workpiece diameters without swapping cylinders.
Adjust the platen extend distance on the fly for varying box sizes on a packaging line, ensuring consistent sealing pressure without hardware modifications.
Set trial end positions on an assembly press to verify contact and force application before finalizing the stroke length for a new product run.
Selecting this 80 mm bore provides 2513.2 N push force at 0.5 MPa; stepping down to a 63 mm bore yields 1558.6 N push, while stepping up to a 100 mm bore provides 3927.0 N push. If your application never requires altering the extend length, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder is sufficient and avoids the external adjuster. When ordering, confirm the 90 mm full stroke, the 100 mm adjustment window, the -S magnet, and the default female M16x2.0 rod-end thread.
Quick checklist
The usable extend range is 0-90 mm (full 90 mm stroke minus the 100 mm window). It provides 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 bore is 80 mm, the port is PT3/8, and the adjuster thread is M20x1.5.
No, the adjuster changes the extend stroke length only, meaning the force remains identical to a standard ACQ of the same bore. The cylinder uses fixed elastomer bumpers for deceleration, not adjustable air cushions. Note that 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.
