The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X175-10 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø32mm bore and 175mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The ACQJ32X175-10 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring an external threaded stop with a lock nut that limits the extend end position. This mechanism allows you to fine-tune the extend stroke on the machine without swapping parts. With a full stroke of 175 mm and a 10 mm adjustment window, the usable extend range runs from 165 mm up to 175 mm. The retract stroke remains completely unaffected.
Because the piston area stays the same, the output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore, delivering a push force of 402.1 N at 0.5 MPa. This unit is a long-stroke made-to-order variant, exceeding the 100 mm standard maximum for bore 32 while retaining the fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end. It uses a PT1/8 port and a Ø16 mm piston rod.

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 center during setup, absorbing part tolerances by adjusting the extend position from 165 to 175 mm.
Adapt automated assembly line stops quickly when switching between product variants, using the external M12x1.25 adjuster to set new end positions.
Test varying folding or pressing depths on packaging equipment without disassembling the cylinder, relying on the fixed elastomer bumper for end-of-stroke deceleration.
When sizing this unit, consider the neighbouring bores: stepping down to a 25 mm bore yields 245.4 N push force at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a 40 mm bore provides 628.3 N. If your application never requires end-position adjustments, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder will suffice. For ordering, confirm the 32 mm bore, 175 mm full stroke, 10 mm window, female rod-end thread M8x1.25, and note this specific configuration ships without a magnet.
Quick checklist
The usable extend range is 165-175 mm (a 175 mm full stroke minus up to a 10 mm window). Force is identical to a standard ACQ: push is 402.1 N and pull is 301.6 N at 0.5 MPa, push is 562.9 N at 0.7 MPa, and maximum push is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The external M12x1.25 threaded stop and lock nut limit only the extend stroke length, leaving the retract stroke unaffected and keeping force unchanged. The cylinder uses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper, not an adjustable air cushion. A plain ACQ does not hold loads on air loss, so use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe holding.
