The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X175-40SB 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 ACQJ32X175-40SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with a 175mm stroke, built as a made-to-order long-stroke variant since it exceeds the 100mm standard maximum for a 32mm bore. It features an external M12x1.25 threaded stop and lock nut that limits the extend end position. You can fine-tune the usable extend range from 135mm up to the full 175mm directly on your machine without swapping parts. The retract stroke remains completely unaffected.
Because the piston area is unchanged, output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore, yielding 402.1N push and 301.6N pull at 0.5 MPa. This unit includes a male M14x1.5 rod end for direct load coupling and an internal piston magnet. It uses fixed elastomer NBR bumpers at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions.

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 extend position from 135 to 175mm on CNC machining fixtures to accommodate varying raw material lengths without fabricating new hard stops.
Adjust the extend stroke on a packaging conveyor diverter to route different carton sizes on the fly, using the external M12x1.25 stopper to set the exact gap.
Test multiple extend end positions on an automated assembly press during prototype runs, locking the M14x1.5 male rod at the precise 135-175mm depth required.
When sizing this actuator, consider the neighbouring bores: a 25mm bore provides 245.4N push at 0.5 MPa, while a 40mm bore offers 628.3N push at 0.5 MPa. This 32mm bore provides 402.1N push and a maximum push of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. If your application never requires end-position adjustments, a fixed-stroke standard ACQ cylinder will suffice. For ordering, confirm the 32mm bore, 175mm full stroke, 40mm adjustable window, the S magnet for electronic or reed switches, and the B male rod thread.
Quick checklist
This 32mm bore cylinder delivers 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 usable extend range is 135-175mm, created by shortening the 175mm full stroke by up to the 40mm window.
The external M12x1.25 threaded stop with lock nut limits only the extend stroke length, leaving retract unaffected and keeping force identical to a standard ACQ. Deceleration relies on fixed elastomer bumpers, not adjustable air cushions. A plain compact cylinder does not hold its load on air loss, so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe holding.
