The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X100-30SB 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 ACQJ32X100-30SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 32mm bore and a 100mm full stroke. An external threaded stop with a lock nut permits on-machine extend-position tuning, yielding a usable forward range of 70-100mm. The return stroke remains completely unaffected. Because the piston area stays constant, output force equals a standard ACQ, delivering 402.1N push and 301.6N pull at 0.5MPa.
This unit includes the -S piston magnet for reed or solid-state switches and the -B male M14x1.5 rod-end thread. It uses a PT1/8 port and a 16mm rod. Deceleration relies on fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends rather than adjustable air cushions. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0MPa across a -20 to +70C temperature range.

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 reach on a CNC fixture without machining custom spacers, accommodating raw material thickness variations directly at the machine.
Rapidly reposition the extend end stop when switching carton sizes on a packaging line, minimizing mechanical setup time between product runs.
Safely test intermediate end positions during assembly press development, allowing operators to find the optimal insertion depth before finalizing the mechanical layout.
Selecting this 32mm bore provides 402.1N push at 0.5MPa; dropping to a 25mm bore reduces push to 245.4N, while stepping up to 40mm yields 628.3N. If your application never requires end-position adjustments, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder suffices. When ordering, confirm the 32mm bore, 100mm full stroke, 30mm adjuster window, the -S magnet, and the -B male M14x1.5 rod thread.
Quick checklist
It provides 402.1N push and 301.6N pull at 0.5MPa, 562.9N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum push of 82kgf at 1.0MPa. The 30mm adjustment window allows the extend stroke to be fine-tuned within a 70-100mm usable range.
The M12x1.25 external stop screw limits forward travel without altering piston area, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. Deceleration is handled by fixed elastomer bumpers, not adjustable air cushions. Note that this cylinder will not hold a load on air loss; use an external rod lock for fail-safe positioning.
