The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X100-50SB 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 ACQJ32X100-50SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with a 32 mm bore and a 100 mm full stroke. An external M12x1.25 threaded stop and lock nut limits the extend end position, providing a usable extend range of 50 to 100 mm. The retract stroke remains unaffected. Because the piston area is unchanged, force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore.
This model includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) for use with reed or electronic solid-state switches, and a male M14x1.5 rod-end thread (-B) for direct load coupling. It features a PT1/8 port, a 16 mm piston rod, and fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration.

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.

When sizing this 32 mm bore actuator, note it delivers 402.1 N push and 301.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa. Stepping down to a 25 mm bore yields 245.4 N push, while stepping up to a 40 mm bore provides 628.3 N push. If your machine requires a fixed extend end position and never needs on-the-fly adjustment, a standard ACQ cylinder will suffice. To order, confirm the 32 mm bore, 100 mm full stroke, 50 mm adjustable window, magnet, and male rod thread.
Quick checklist
It provides a push force of 402.1 N and a pull force of 301.6 N 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 50 mm adjustment window, resulting in a usable extend range of 50 to 100 mm.
An external M12x1.25 threaded screw with a lock nut mechanically limits the rod extension, shortening the stroke length without changing the piston area. The output force remains identical to a standard ACQ. The cylinder uses fixed elastomer bumpers for deceleration and does not hold the load on air loss; use an external rod lock for fail-safe holding.
