Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X20-20S
The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X20-20S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø32mm bore and 20mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.

About the Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X20-20S
The AirTAC ACQJ32X20-20S 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 0 to 20 mm directly on the machine, while the retract stroke remains unaffected. Because the piston area stays the same, output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore.
This 32 mm bore unit pushes 402.1 N and pulls 301.6 N at 0.5 MPa, with a maximum push of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features a 16 mm rod, a PT1/8 port, and a female M8x1.25 rod-end thread. The external adjuster uses an M12x1.25 thread. A fixed elastomer bumper decelerates the load at each end, and the built-in magnet (-S) works with reed or electronic solid-state switches.

| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Full stroke | 20 mm |
| Adjuster thread | M12×1.25 |
| Port size | PT1/8 |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.15 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |

| Speed range | 30 – 500 mm/s |
| Rod thread | M8×1.25 (F) / M14×1.5 (B) |
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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø32mm)
| 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.

Where the Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X20-20S Is Used
Machining Fixture Stops
Dial in the exact 0-20 mm extend position on a machining fixture to accommodate different raw part widths without fabricating new stop collars.
Packaging Changeover
Rapidly reposition the extend end stop on a packaging line when switching between carton sizes, ensuring consistent sealing and folding pressure.
Prototype Pressing
Test various engagement depths on a prototype assembly press by adjusting the external M12x1.25 stopper nut, finding the optimal travel before finalizing the design.
Is the Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X20-20S the Right Cylinder?
If you need slightly less force, the 25 mm bore delivers 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the 40 mm bore provides 628.3 N. This 32 mm option is ideal when you need 402.1 N of push force but require a shorter 0-20 mm extend stroke during setup or product changeovers. If your end position never varies, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder suffices. Confirm your ordering essentials: 32 mm bore, 20 mm full stroke, 20 mm adjuster window, -S magnet, and female M8x1.25 rod thread.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Need on-machine end-position tuning?
- ✓ Full stroke and adjust window (mm)
- ✓ Force at your working pressure
- ✓ Magnet (S) for sensors?
- ✓ Female (blank) or male (B) rod thread
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Lock the adjuster nut after setting the stop.
- check The stop limits the EXTEND stroke only.
- check Avoid side load on the short piston rod.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X20-20S FAQ
It delivers 402.1 N push and 301.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 562.9 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The full stroke is 20 mm with a 20 mm adjustment window, allowing a usable extend range of 0-20 mm.
No, the external M12x1.25 threaded stop only limits how far the rod extends; the piston area is unchanged so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. The cylinder uses fixed elastomer bumpers at both ends for deceleration, not adjustable air cushions.
