Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X100-10S
The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X100-10S 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.

About the Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X100-10S
The AirTAC ACQJ32X100-10S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring an external threaded stop with a lock nut to limit the extend stroke. You can fine-tune the usable extend range from 90 to 100 mm directly on the machine, while the retract stroke remains unaffected. It includes a built-in piston magnet for position sensing.
Because the piston area is unchanged, the output force is identical to a standard ACQ of the same bore, delivering a push force of 402.1 N at 0.5 MPa. The cylinder uses a PT1/8 port and a 16 mm rod with a female M8x1.25 end thread. It relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion.

| Series | ACQJ JIS compact adjustable-stroke cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Full stroke | 100 mm |
| Adjuster thread | M12×1.25 |
| Port size | PT1/8 |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.15 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 30 – 500 mm/s |
| Rod thread | M8×1.25 (F) / M14×1.5 (B) |
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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø32mm)
| 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.

Packaging Flap Folding
Adjust carton folding arm endpoints on the fly to handle varying package dimensions directly at the packaging station.
Is the Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X100-10S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore actuator, note the adjacent options: stepping down to a 25 mm bore yields 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas moving up to a 40 mm bore provides 628.3 N. If your application never requires end-position adjustments, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder will suffice and save complexity. To order this adjustable variant correctly, confirm the 32 mm bore, 100 mm full stroke, 10 mm adjustment window, the -S magnet option, and your preferred rod-end thread.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Need on-machine end-position tuning?
- ✓ Full stroke and adjust window (mm)
- ✓ Force at your working pressure
- ✓ Magnet (S) for sensors?
- ✓ Female (blank) or male (B) rod thread
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Lock the adjuster nut after setting the stop.
- check The stop limits the EXTEND stroke only.
- check Avoid side load on the short piston rod.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X100-10S FAQ
This cylinder has a 32 mm bore and a 100 mm full stroke with a 10 mm adjustment window, giving a usable extend range of 90-100 mm. Force is identical to a standard ACQ: push is 402.1 N and pull is 301.6 N at 0.5 MPa, push is 562.9 N at 0.7 MPa, and maximum push is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external M12x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut limits the extend stroke, allowing you to shorten it by up to 10 mm without altering the piston area, so force stays the same. The retract stroke is unaffected, and deceleration relies on a fixed elastomer bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion. The built-in magnet works with reed or electronic solid-state switches.
