The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X10-10SB 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 ACQJ32X10-10SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with an external threaded stop and lock nut that limits the extend end position. The usable extend range is 0-10 mm (full stroke 10 mm minus the 10 mm adjustment window), while the retract stroke remains unaffected. An M12x1.25 adjuster thread allows precise on-machine end-position tuning without swapping parts.
Because the piston area is unchanged, force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore: 402.1 N push and 301.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa. This bore 32 unit features a PT1/8 port, a male M14x1.5 rod-end thread (-B) for direct load coupling, and a built-in magnet (-S) compatible with reed or electronic solid-state switches. It relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for deceleration 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 | 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 exact clamping reach on a CNC machining fixture during setup, allowing rapid accommodation of varying raw part dimensions without fabricating new stop collars.
Adjust the extend endpoint on a packaging line carton pusher to handle different package lengths quickly, minimizing downtime between product runs.
Fine-tune the extend travel on a laboratory press to test material deflection at precise depths, relying on the lock nut to secure the exact 0-10 mm position.
For lower force needs, a bore 25 ACQJ provides 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to a bore 40 yields 628.3 N push. If the extend position never needs variation, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder suffices. When ordering this model, confirm the 32 mm bore, 10 mm full stroke, 10 mm window, male M14x1.5 rod thread (-B), and the -S magnet for sensor compatibility.
Quick checklist
The usable extend range is 0-10 mm (a 10 mm full stroke minus the 10 mm window). The retract stroke is unaffected. 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.
An external M12x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut limits the extend stroke without changing the piston area, so force remains unchanged. The cylinder uses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end, not an adjustable air cushion. It will not hold a load on air loss; for fail-safe holding, use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
