The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X10-10S 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 ACQJ32X10-10S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with an external threaded stop that limits the extend stroke. You can fine-tune the extend end position on the machine without changing parts. The usable extend range is 0-10 mm (the 10 mm full stroke minus up to 10 mm). The retract stroke remains unaffected.
Because the piston area is unchanged, the force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore. The push force is 402.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 562.9 N at 0.7 MPa. It features a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end and an M12x1.25 external adjuster thread. The built-in piston magnet works 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.
| 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 extend end position on machining fixtures during setup without machining new spacers.
Adjust the extend stroke rapidly on packaging lines when switching between different package sizes.
Test different extend end positions on prototype assembly machines to find the optimal stroke length.
If you need less force, the next bore down is 25 mm, which provides 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa. For higher force, the 40 mm bore offers 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa. If you do not need to fine-tune the extend end position, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder will suffice. When ordering, confirm the 32 mm bore, 10 mm full stroke, 10 mm window, the S magnet option, and the female M8x1.25 rod-end thread.
Quick checklist
The force is identical to a standard ACQ bore 32. It provides 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 usable extend range is 0-10 mm, while the retract stroke is unaffected.
An external M12x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut limits the extend stroke, changing only the stroke length, not the force. The cylinder uses a fixed elastomer bumper at each end for deceleration, not an adjustable air cushion. The S magnet option supports reed or electronic solid-state switches.
