The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X10-10 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø32mm bore and 10mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The AirTAC ACQJ32X10-10 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 10 mm, and the 10 mm adjustment window allows you to fine-tune the usable extend range from 0 to 10 mm directly on the machine. The retract stroke remains completely unaffected. Because the piston area is unchanged, the force output is identical to a standard ACQ of the same bore, delivering 402.1 N of push force at 0.5 MPa.
This 32 mm bore unit features a 16 mm piston rod, a PT1/8 port, and a female M8x1.25 rod-end thread. The external adjuster utilizes an M12x1.25 thread. It incorporates a fixed elastomer NBR bumper at each end for deceleration and operates at speeds between 30 and 500 mm/s. Please note that this specific configuration ships without a magnet, though the body retains integrated sensor grooves for future sensing upgrades.

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 | 402 N | 302 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 563 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 82 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 extension from 0 to 10 mm during setup on a CNC machining center to accommodate varying part tolerances without swapping hardware.
Adjust the physical stop position for product changeovers on a modular assembly line, ensuring precise component placement without reprogramming the motion controller.
Fine-tune the pressing height on a packaging machine to handle different carton sizes, relying on the fixed elastomer bumper to absorb the impact at the end of stroke.
When sizing this actuator, consider that the neighbouring 25 mm bore provides 245.4 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, while the larger 40 mm bore offers 628.3 N. If your application requires a fixed 10 mm stroke without on-site end-position tuning, a standard ACQ32X10 cylinder is sufficient. To order this adjustable model correctly, confirm the 32 mm bore, 10 mm full stroke, 10 mm adjustment window, female rod thread, and the absence of the -S magnet option.
Quick checklist
The usable extend range is 0-10 mm (10 mm full stroke minus the 10 mm window). The force is identical to a standard ACQ: 402.1 N push and 301.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 562.9 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The M12x1.25 external threaded stop with lock nut limits only the extend stroke length; it does not alter the piston area or reduce the force output. The cylinder uses a fixed elastomer bumper and will not hold a load on air loss, so an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required for fail-safe holding.
