The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X150-20 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 ACQJ32X150-20 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with an external threaded stop and lock nut that limits the extend end position. You can fine-tune the usable extend range from 130 mm up to the full 150 mm stroke directly on the machine, while the retract stroke remains unaffected. This 150 mm unit is a long-stroke, made-to-order variant exceeding the 100 mm standard maximum for a 32 mm bore.
Because the piston area is unchanged, force remains identical to a standard ACQ of this size, delivering 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa. The body features fixed elastomer bumpers at each end for end-of-travel deceleration and includes sensor grooves. This specific configuration ships without a magnet and uses a female-threaded piston rod end (M8x1.25).

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.

Adjust the stroke on packaging line diverters on-the-fly to handle varying carton lengths on a shared conveyor belt.
Safely test new end positions for a pressing operation in a factory automation cell before locking down the final travel distance.
When sizing this unit, consider the neighbouring bores: a 25 mm bore provides 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa, while a 40 mm bore yields 628.3 N. The 32 mm bore here provides a balanced 402.1 N push and 301.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires a fixed end position every cycle, a standard ACQ cylinder without the external adjuster will suffice. To order, confirm the 32 mm bore, 150 mm full stroke, 20 mm adjustable window, female rod thread, and whether you need the -S magnet option for reed or solid-state switches.
Quick checklist
The push force is 402.1 N and pull is 301.6 N at 0.5 MPa (562.9 N push at 0.7 MPa, max 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa). The usable extend range is 130-150 mm via a 20 mm window. The external adjuster uses an M12x1.25 thread. This 150 mm unit is a long-stroke variant.
The external threaded stop with a lock nut limits the extend stroke length only, so force is identical to a standard ACQ. The cylinder uses fixed elastomer bumpers, not an adjustable air cushion. A plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; for fail-safe holding, use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
