The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X175-100SB 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 AirTAC ACQJ32X175-100SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with a 32mm bore and a 175mm long-stroke design, exceeding the standard 100mm maximum for this bore size. It features an external M12x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut on the rod-end side, allowing you to fine-tune the extend end position directly on the machine. The usable extend range spans 75-175mm, while the retract stroke remains completely unaffected.
Because the internal piston area is unchanged, the output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore, delivering 402.1N push and 301.6N pull at 0.5 MPa. This made-to-order variant includes a built-in piston magnet for electronic or reed switches (-S) and a male M14x1.5 threaded rod end (-B) for direct load coupling. Deceleration relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end, rather than an adjustable air cushion.

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.

When sizing this unit, consider the neighbouring bores: a 25mm bore yields 245.4N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas a 40mm bore provides 628.3N. This 32mm model offers 402.1N push, striking a balance for medium-duty tasks. If your application never requires stroke adjustments, a fixed-stroke ACQ32X175 will suffice and avoids the external hardware. To order this cylinder correctly, confirm the 32mm bore, 175mm full stroke, 100mm adjuster window, the -S magnet requirement, and the -B male rod thread.
Quick checklist
This cylinder has a 175mm full stroke with a 100mm adjustment window, yielding a usable extend range of 75-175mm. The force equals a standard ACQ: 402.1N push and 301.6N pull at 0.5 MPa, 562.9N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The port size is PT1/8.
The M12x1.25 external threaded stop and lock nut limit how far the rod extends, shortening the extend stroke without changing the piston area, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. The fixed elastomer bumper decelerates the load near the end of travel, but the cylinder will not hold a load on air loss; use an external rod lock for fail-safe holding.
