The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X200-40 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø32mm bore and 200mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The AirTAC ACQJ32X200-40 is a double-acting, single-rod JIS compact cylinder featuring a 200mm long-stroke design that exceeds the standard 100mm range for Ø32 bore, making it a made-to-order variant. An external threaded stop with a lock nut limits the extend end position, providing a usable extend range of 160-200mm without changing parts. The retract stroke remains unaffected.
Because the piston area is unchanged, the adjuster modifies stroke length only, keeping force identical to a standard ACQ of this bore. It delivers 402.1N push and 301.6N pull at 0.5 MPa, with a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for deceleration. The body includes magnetic-switch grooves, though this specific configuration ships without a magnet.

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.

Thread: PT standard (G / NPT available). Related: ACQ (fixed stroke), ACQD (double rod), TACQ (guided / non-rotating).
Ideal for machining fixtures requiring different clamp depths across part families, allowing rapid 160-200mm extend adjustments without swapping hardware.
Acts as a retractable dead-stop on packaging lines, letting operators dial in the exact 160-200mm extension needed for varying carton widths on the fly.
Perfect for lab automation where trial end positions must be tested iteratively, providing a 40mm tuning window to find optimal motion paths.
When sizing this actuator, consider the neighboring bores: stepping down to a Ø25 bore yields 245.4N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a Ø40 bore provides 628.3N. If exact end-position tuning is unnecessary, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder suffices. To order, confirm the 32mm bore, 200mm full stroke, 40mm adjuster window, female rod-end thread (M8x1.25), and PT1/8 port.
Quick checklist
It 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 160-200mm (200mm full stroke minus a 40mm window). The piston rod is Ø16mm, the female rod-end thread is M8x1.25, the external adjuster thread is M12x1.25, and the port is PT1/8.
The external M12x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut mechanically limits how far the rod extends, shortening the forward stroke without altering the piston area, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. Deceleration is handled by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends, not an adjustable air cushion. Note that this model ships without a magnet, though the body retains sensor grooves for adding reed or solid-state switches if needed.
