The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X150-10S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø32mm bore and 150mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The AirTAC ACQJ32X150-10S is a double-acting, single-rod JIS compact cylinder built for applications requiring precise extend-position tuning. This long-stroke made-to-order variant features a 150 mm total stroke, exceeding the standard 100 mm maximum for a 32 mm bore. An external M12x1.25 threaded stop and lock nut lets you shorten the forward stroke by up to 10 mm, yielding a usable extend range of 140-150 mm. The retract distance remains completely unaffected.
Because the adjuster only limits travel length and not piston area, output force stays identical to a standard ACQ of this bore. At 0.5 MPa you get 402.1 N of push and 301.6 N of pull force. The unit includes a -S piston magnet compatible with reed or solid-state electronic switches, and relies on fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration.

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 machining fixture. The 10 mm adjuster window lets operators compensate for varying part tolerances without swapping out the entire actuator.
Adapt pusher stops rapidly during product format changes on packaging equipment. Fine-tune the 140-150 mm extend distance on the machine to match new carton sizes instantly.
Establish optimal end positions on an automated assembly press. Test different insertion depths within the adjustable window before locking down the M12x1.25 stop nut for production.
When sizing this actuator, stepping down to a 25 mm bore drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 245.4 N, while moving up to a 40 mm bore raises it to 628.3 N. If your extend end position never varies, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder is simpler and sufficient. For this adjustable model, confirm the 32 mm bore, 150 mm full stroke, 10 mm window, -S magnet, and the default female M8x1.25 rod-end thread. Note that a plain compact cylinder will drift and lose its load on air loss, so specify an external rod lock for fail-safe holding.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder delivers 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 full stroke is 150 mm, and with the 10 mm window, the usable extend range is 140-150 mm.
An external M12x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut mechanically limits the forward travel, allowing on-machine tuning without changing parts. It alters stroke length only, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. The cylinder uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers for deceleration, not adjustable air cushions, and the -S magnet works with reed or electronic switches.
