The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X100-40B 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 ACQJ32X100-40B 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 end-position tuning, yielding a usable forward range of 60 to 100mm. The retract movement remains completely unaffected by this adjustment. Because the internal piston area stays constant, the output force equals that of a standard ACQ equivalent.
Equipped with a male M14x1.5 rod end, it couples directly to your mechanism. The 16mm piston rod and PT1/8 port ensure robust pneumatic performance. Fixed NBR elastomer bumpers absorb impact at both ends, while the integrated sensor grooves allow for position detection when paired with a separately purchased magnetic piston assembly.

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.

Adjust the rod extension to accommodate different raw material lengths on a single CNC loading station without disassembling the fixture.
Fine-tune the actuation distance of a sorting gate to handle changing carton dimensions on a packaging line.
Dial in the exact pressing depth for a new bearing insertion task, testing end positions safely before final lock-down.
If your application requires less push power, stepping down to a 25mm bore yields 245.4N of push force at 0.5MPa. Conversely, scaling up to a 40mm bore provides 628.3N. Choose this specific unit when setups vary or trial positions are needed without swapping parts; if the forward endpoint never changes, a fixed-stroke ACQ is simpler. Confirm ordering essentials: 32mm bore, 100mm full stroke, 40mm window, male M14x1.5 thread, and no magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5MPa it delivers 402.1N push and 301.6N pull force, and 562.9N push at 0.7MPa. The maximum push force is 82kgf at 1.0MPa. The full stroke is 100mm with a 40mm adjustable window, giving a usable extend range of 60-100mm. The retract stroke is unaffected.
No, the adjuster only limits the forward stroke length; force remains identical to a standard ACQ since the piston area is unchanged. Deceleration is handled by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end. For high kinetic energy loads, add an external shock absorber or slow the approach speed.
