The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X100-10 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø32mm bore and 100mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The AirTAC ACQJ32X100-10 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with a 100 mm full stroke and a 32 mm bore. An external M12x1.25 threaded stop and lock nut lets you trim the extend end position by up to 10 mm. This yields a usable forward range of 90-100 mm, while the retract stroke remains completely unaffected. Because the piston area stays constant, output force equals a standard ACQ, delivering 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa.
This unit features a Ø16 mm piston rod with an M8x1.25 female end thread, and a PT1/8 port. Deceleration relies on fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends rather than adjustable air cushions. The body includes magnetic-switch grooves for tracking, though this specific configuration ships without a magnet. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa with speeds of 30-500 mm/s.

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 90-100 mm extend position during initial commissioning of a CNC lathe loader without machining new spacers.
Quickly alter the extend endpoint on a packaging line when switching between carton sizes, using the lock nut to secure the new dimension.
Test different extend distances on a riveting fixture to find the optimal reach before locking down the final mechanical stop.
Selecting this 32 mm bore provides 402.1 N push and 301.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less force, stepping down to a 25 mm bore yields 245.4 N push, whereas moving up to a 40 mm bore provides 628.3 N push. A fixed-stroke ACQ is sufficient if your end position never varies. When ordering, confirm the 100 mm full stroke, the 10 mm adjuster window, the female rod thread, and whether you need the -S magnet option for solid-state or reed sensors.
Quick checklist
It delivers 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 full stroke is 100 mm with a 10 mm window, giving a usable extend range of 90-100 mm.
An external M12x1.25 threaded stop limits the extend length without changing piston area, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. Deceleration is handled by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers, not adjustable air cushions, and the retract stroke stays unaffected.
