The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X125-40B 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 ACQJ32X125-40B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with an external extend stop, configured here as a long-stroke variant exceeding the 100 mm standard maximum for a 32 mm bore. An external M12x1.25 threaded adjuster and lock nut limit the outward travel, yielding a usable extend span of 85 to 125 mm. The return stroke remains fixed at its original length.
Because the piston area is unchanged, output force equals a standard ACQ: 402.1 N push and 301.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa. The unit features a 16 mm rod with a male M14x1.5 thread end for direct load coupling, a PT1/8 port, and fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends. Body sensor grooves are present, 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 clamping reach on a CNC fixture during new part setup, shifting the extend stop anywhere from 85 to 125 mm without machining new spacers.
Reposition a carton sealing head rapidly for different box lengths by turning the external M12x1.25 adjuster nut to match the new product format.
Safely test trial end positions on an electronic assembly press, fine-tuning the 32 mm bore contact point before locking the rod into final production.
For sizing context, a 25 mm bore yields 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a 40 mm bore provides 628.3 N. If your extend position never varies, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder is simpler and sufficient. When ordering this unit, verify the 32 mm bore, 125 mm total stroke, 40 mm adjuster window, male M14x1.5 rod (-B), and confirm no magnet is needed.
Quick checklist
It has a 125 mm full stroke with a 40 mm adjustment window, giving a usable extend range of 85-125 mm. The 32 mm bore generates 402.1 N push and 301.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 562.9 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The return stroke is unaffected.
The M12x1.25 threaded stop with lock nut physically limits outward travel to change stroke length only; force remains identical to a standard ACQ because piston area is unchanged. Deceleration relies on fixed NBR elastomer bumpers, not an adjustable air cushion, so for high-energy loads you should add an external shock absorber. This model lacks a magnet and will drift if air pressure is lost, requiring an external rod lock for fail-safe holding.
