The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ80-100 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ80X90-10B 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 ACQJ80X90-10B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring an external threaded stop with a lock nut to limit the extend end position. You get an adjustable usable extend range of 80 to 90 mm, while the retract stroke remains completely unaffected. Because the piston area is unchanged, output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore.
This specific variant includes a male M22x1.5 piston rod end for direct load coupling and operates on a PT3/8 port. The body incorporates fixed elastomer NBR bumpers at each end rather than adjustable air cushions. Although it ships without a magnet, the integrated sensor grooves remain available for mounting external reed or solid-state switches if needed later.
Operating pressure runs from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa and a speed range of 30-500 mm/s. The 25 mm piston rod ensures structural stability under high thrust loads up to 513 kgf maximum push at 1.0 MPa.

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 extend position from 80 to 90 mm on CNC machining fixtures to accommodate varying raw part dimensions without swapping out cylinder hardware.
Adjust the pusher end stop quickly during packaging line product changeovers to handle different box widths on the fly.
Set trial end positions on light assembly presses to test engagement depths before finalizing mechanical hard stops.
When sizing this unit, consider the 2513.2 N push force at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less thrust, stepping down to a 63 mm bore yields 1558.6 N push, whereas moving up to a 100 mm bore provides 3927.0 N push. If your end position never varies, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder is sufficient and simpler. To order this adjustable version correctly, confirm the 80 mm bore, 90 mm full stroke, 10 mm adjuster window, the male rod thread option (-B), and note that no magnet (-S) is included.
Quick checklist
The usable extend range is 80 to 90 mm (90 mm full stroke minus the 10 mm adjustable window). Force is identical to a standard ACQ: 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.
An M20x1.5 external threaded stop with a lock nut limits the extend length without changing the piston area, so thrust remains unchanged. The cylinder uses fixed elastomer bumpers for end-of-stroke damping. Note that a plain ACQ-type does not hold its load on air loss; for a fail-safe hold, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
