The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X125-30B is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø32mm bore and 125mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The ACQJ32X125-30B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with a 125mm full stroke and a male-thread (M14x1.5) piston rod. An external M12x1.25 threaded stop and lock nut limits the extend end position, providing a usable extend range of 95 to 125mm. The retract stroke remains completely unaffected. This 125mm stroke exceeds the 100mm standard maximum for a 32mm bore, making it a long-stroke made-to-order variant.
Because the piston area is unchanged, the output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore. The push force is 402.1N and pull is 301.6N at 0.5MPa. It features a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration, plus sensor grooves on the body, though this specific SKU ships without a magnet.

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 extend position for varying raw material blanks on a CNC machining fixture without machining new stop collars.
Rapidly adjust the extend reach during product family changeovers on a modular assembly line to accommodate different part widths.
Test multiple extend end-stroke positions on a packaging machine prototype to find the optimal pressing depth before finalizing the design.
When sizing this 32mm bore, the smaller 25mm bore yields a 245.4N push at 0.5MPa, while the larger 40mm bore provides 628.3N. If your extend end position never needs tuning, a fixed-stroke ACQ32X125 is sufficient. For ordering, confirm the 125mm full stroke, the 30mm adjustable window, the male -B rod thread, and whether you need the -S magnet option for switch sensing.
Quick checklist
The usable extend range is 95-125mm (125mm full stroke minus up to 30mm). The push force is 402.1N and pull is 301.6N at 0.5MPa, 562.9N push at 0.7MPa, with a maximum push of 82kgf at 1.0MPa. The retract stroke is unaffected.
An external M12x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut limits the extend stroke length only, leaving force unchanged. Deceleration relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper, not an adjustable air cushion. A plain ACQ-type cylinder does not hold its load on air loss; for a fail-safe hold, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
