The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X175-20 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 ACQJ32X175-20 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 175mm extended stroke, configured as a made-to-order long-stroke variant beyond the standard 100mm limit for this 32mm bore. An external M12x1.25 threaded stop and lock nut allows you to fine-tune the extend end position on the machine, yielding a usable extend range of 155-175mm. The retract stroke remains completely unaffected by this adjustment.
Because the piston area is unchanged, output force is identical to a standard ACQ of the same size, delivering 402.1N push and 301.6N pull at 0.5MPa. The unit incorporates fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions. While this specific SKU ships without a magnet, the body retains magnetic-switch grooves for adding sensors if needed later.

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.

Choosing this 32mm bore provides 402.1N of push force at 0.5MPa; stepping down to a 25mm bore yields 245.4N, while moving up to a 40mm bore offers 628.3N. A fixed-stroke ACQ is sufficient if your extend endpoint never requires tweaking. When ordering this cylinder, confirm the 175mm full stroke, the 20mm adjustment window, the female M8x1.25 rod-end thread, and the PT1/8 port. Note that because this is a non-standard 175mm stroke, it is manufactured as a long-stroke variant.
Quick checklist
This model has a 175mm full stroke with a 20mm adjustable window, allowing the usable extend range to be set between 155mm and 175mm. It delivers 402.1N push and 301.6N pull at 0.5MPa, 562.9N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum push of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The retract stroke remains fixed at 175mm.
An external M12x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut limits the extend travel, shortening the stroke without changing the piston area, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. Deceleration is handled by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends rather than adjustable air cushions. For high-speed loads, an external shock absorber is recommended, and a rod lock is needed to hold loads on air loss.
