The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X125-30SB 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 AirTAC ACQJ32X125-30SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with an external extend stop, allowing you to fine-tune the end position directly on your equipment without swapping parts. It features a 32mm bore, a male M14x1.5 rod end, and a built-in magnet for electronic or reed switches. Because the piston area remains constant, output force stays identical to a standard ACQ, delivering 402.1N push at 0.5 MPa.
This made-to-order long-stroke variant provides a 125mm total stroke, exceeding the 100mm standard maximum for this bore size. The external M12x1.25 adjuster screw with a lock nut shortens the forward travel by up to 30mm, yielding a usable extend range of 95-125mm, while the return stroke remains unaffected. It uses a PT1/8 port, carries a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration, and operates smoothly between 30 and 500 mm/s.

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.

If you need less thrust, the adjacent Ø25 bore yields 245.4N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the Ø40 bore provides 628.3N push. A fixed-stroke ACQ is sufficient if your end position never requires tweaking. To order this unit correctly, confirm the 32mm bore, 125mm full stroke, 30mm adjust window, the -S magnet, and the -B male M14x1.5 rod thread. Remember that a standard air cylinder drifts if air pressure is lost; for fail-safe load holding, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
The usable extend range is 95-125mm (a 125mm full stroke minus up to 30mm via the external stop). The output force is identical to a standard ACQ of the same bore: 402.1N push and 301.6N pull at 0.5 MPa, 562.9N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external M12x1.25 threaded screw with a lock nut limits the forward extension distance only; the retract stroke remains completely unaffected. The adjuster changes stroke length only, so the force is unchanged. End-of-stroke deceleration relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end, not an adjustable air cushion.
