The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X15-10B is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø32mm bore and 15mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The AirTAC ACQJ32X15-10B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring an external male-threaded rod end (M14x1.5) that couples directly to your load. A threaded stop with lock nut limits the extend travel, allowing you to fine-tune the end position on the machine without swapping parts. With a 15mm full stroke and a 10mm adjustment window, the usable extend range is 5 to 15mm. The retract stroke remains completely unaffected.
Because the piston area is unchanged, output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore. At 0.5 MPa, it delivers 402.1 N of push force and 301.6 N of pull force. The unit uses a PT1/8 port, a Ø16 mm piston rod, and fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration. Body sensor grooves are present, but 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.

Adapt clamping positions on a machining fixture instantly by dialing the extend stroke between 5 and 15 mm during product family changeovers.
Dial in the exact extension limit for a new assembly process without machining custom spacer rings or ordering replacement cylinders.
Compensate for varying material thicknesses in a pressing station by tweaking the external stop to alter the final rod extension.
If 301.6 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa is more than required, stepping down to a 25 mm bore yields 188.9 N pull, while stepping up to a 40 mm bore provides 527.8 N pull. If the exact 15 mm extend position is fixed and never needs tuning, a standard ACQ32 cylinder is sufficient. When ordering this adjustable variant, confirm the 32 mm bore, 15 mm full stroke, 10 mm window, the male rod thread (-B), and that no magnet (-S) is needed.
Quick checklist
The force is identical to a standard ACQ: 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 10 mm window allows the extend stroke to be shortened from the 15 mm full stroke down to 5 mm, while the retract stroke remains fixed.
An external M12x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut limits the extend travel distance only; it does not change the piston area or force. Deceleration is handled by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends, not an adjustable air cushion. Note that this model ships without a sensor magnet, though the body retains switch grooves for adding reed or solid-state sensors if needed.
