The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ12~25 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACQJ25X40-40SB is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø25mm bore and 40mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The AirTAC ACQJ25X40-40SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with an external threaded stop and lock nut that limits the extend end position. You can fine-tune the usable extend range from 0 up to 40 mm on the machine without swapping parts, while the retract stroke remains completely unaffected. The piston area stays the same, so output force equals a standard ACQ of this bore.
This bore 25 unit pushes 245.4 N and pulls 188.9 N at 0.5 MPa, with a maximum push capacity of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It includes a male M10x1.25 rod end (-B) for direct load coupling and a built-in piston magnet (-S) for position sensing. Deceleration relies on a fixed elastomer bumper at each end rather than an adjustable air cushion.

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 | 245 N | 189 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 344 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 50 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.

Set precise extend endpoints from 0 to 40 mm when adapting packaging lines to different carton widths.
Rapidly reposition the extend limit on assembly fixtures during a shift change without fitting new spacers.
Dial in the exact pushing distance on a CNC loader during initial tooling setup before locking the nut.
If your setup only requires a fixed end position, a standard ACQ cylinder will suffice. Choose this adjustable model when trial end positions or product dimensions vary. For sizing, stepping down to a bore 20 unit provides 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a bore 32 unit yields 402.1 N. Confirm your ordering essentials: 25 mm bore, 40 mm full stroke, 40 mm adjuster window, the -S magnet, and the -B male M10x1.25 rod thread.
Quick checklist
It delivers a push of 245.4 N and a pull of 188.9 N at 0.5 MPa, with a push of 343.6 N at 0.7 MPa. The maximum push is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The full stroke is 40 mm with a 40 mm adjustment window, giving a usable extend range of 0 to 40 mm.
An external M10x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut limits the extend length, leaving the retract stroke unaffected. Because the piston area remains unchanged, the output force is identical to a standard ACQ. The cylinder uses a fixed elastomer bumper for end deceleration, and the -S magnet works with reed or electronic solid-state switches.
