The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X125-50S 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 ACQJ32X125-50S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 125mm total stroke that exceeds the 100mm standard maximum for a 32mm bore, making it a long-stroke made-to-order variant. It uses an external M12x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut to restrict the forward extend position. You can trim the forward travel by up to 50mm, yielding a usable extend range of 75-125mm. The return retract stroke remains completely unaffected by this adjustment.
Because the piston area is unchanged, output force equals that of a standard ACQ equivalent, delivering 402.1N push and 301.6N pull at 0.5MPa. The unit incorporates fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for end-of-travel deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions. Equipped with a piston magnet (-S), it supports both reed and electronic solid-state sensors housed within its body grooves.

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 do not need to tweak the forward endpoint on the machine, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder suffices. For sizing, stepping down to a 25mm bore yields 245.4N push, while moving up to a 40mm bore provides 628.3N push at 0.5MPa. When ordering this unit, verify the 32mm bore, 125mm full stroke, 50mm window, -S magnet, and female M8x1.25 rod-end thread. Remember that a plain ACQ-type cylinder will not hold a load on air loss; add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if fail-safe holding is required.
Quick checklist
It provides 402.1N push and 301.6N pull at 0.5MPa, 562.9N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum push of 82kgf at 1.0MPa. The usable extend range is 75-125mm (125mm full stroke minus the 50mm window).
The M12x1.25 external threaded stop with a lock nut limits only the extend stroke length; it does not alter piston area, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. Fixed elastomer bumpers decelerate the rod at both ends, and the -S magnet enables tracking with reed or solid-state switches.
