The AirTAC Airtac Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ50~63 ACQJ63X150-40B is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø63mm bore and 150mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The ACQJ63X150-40B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 150 mm stroke and a 63 mm bore. An external M16x1.5 threaded stop with a lock nut permits on-machine extend end-position tuning, yielding a usable forward range of 110 to 150 mm. The retract stroke remains unaffected. This configuration includes a male M18x1.5 piston rod end for direct load coupling.
Because the piston area is unchanged, output force equals a standard ACQ of this bore: 1558.6 N push and 1401.5 N pull at 0.5 MPa. This 150 mm unit is a long-stroke made-to-order variant, exceeding the 100 mm standard maximum for this bore. It utilizes fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end rather than adjustable pneumatic cushions, and the body features sensor grooves, though this specific SKU 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 | 1559 N | 1402 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 2182 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 318 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 forward position for different raw material lengths on a CNC lathe loader without swapping out hard stops.
Quickly reconfigure the extend endpoint to accommodate varying carton depths on a packaging line during product transitions.
Establish optimal insertion depths for bearings or pins during assembly machine setup by testing depths across the 110-150 mm range.
When sizing this unit, the neighboring 50 mm bore yields 981.8 N push, whereas stepping up to an 80 mm bore provides 2513.2 N push at 0.5 MPa. If your equipment never requires end-position adjustments, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder will suffice. For ordering, verify the 63 mm bore, 150 mm full stroke, 40 mm adjuster window, the male M18x1.5 rod thread, and note that no magnet is installed. Keep in mind a plain compact cylinder drifts on air loss; utilize an external rod lock for fail-safe load holding.
Quick checklist
This cylinder delivers 1558.6 N push and 1401.5 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 2182 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The usable extend range is 110 to 150 mm, achieved by shortening the full 150 mm stroke up to the 40 mm window.
The external M16x1.5 threaded stop with lock nut physically limits how far the rod extends, changing only the stroke length while keeping force identical to a standard ACQ. Deceleration relies on fixed NBR elastomer bumpers, not adjustable air cushions, so external shock absorbers are recommended for high-energy approaches.
