The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X25-30B is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø32mm bore and 25mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The AirTAC ACQJ32X25-30B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a male-thread piston rod end (M14x1.5) that couples directly to your load. An external threaded stop with a lock nut limits the extend end position, providing a usable extend range of 0-25 mm from a 25 mm full stroke. The retract stroke remains unaffected by this adjustment.
Because the piston area is unchanged, the output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore, delivering 402.1 N push and 301.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa. The body incorporates sensor grooves for reed or solid-state switches, though this specific unit ships without a magnet. It relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration 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.

Selecting this 32 mm bore provides 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, sitting between the 20 mm bore (157.1 N push) and the 40 mm bore (628.3 N push). A fixed-stroke ACQ is sufficient if your end position never requires tuning, but the external M12x1.25 adjuster here allows on-machine end-position changes without swapping parts. Confirm your ordering essentials: 32 mm bore, 25 mm full stroke, 30 mm window, male rod thread (-B), and no magnet. Note that a plain cylinder does not hold its load on air loss; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe holding.
Quick checklist
The force is identical to a standard ACQ: 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 usable extend range is 0-25 mm (25 mm full stroke minus the 30 mm window), while the retract stroke remains unaffected.
An external M12x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut limits the extend stroke, allowing on-machine tuning without changing parts. The cylinder uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends, not adjustable air cushions. The body has sensor grooves for reed or solid-state switches, but this model ships without a magnet (-S omitted).
