The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X25-30S 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 ACQJ32X25-30S 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 25 mm directly on your machinery without swapping parts, while the retract stroke remains completely unaffected. The adjuster mechanism alters stroke length only, so output force stays identical to a standard ACQ of the same bore.
Featuring a 32 mm bore and a 16 mm piston rod, this unit pushes with 402.1 N and pulls with 301.6 N at 0.5 MPa. It incorporates fixed elastomer bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions. The -S magnet option enables position detection using either reed or solid-state electronic switches, and the PT1/8 port ensures reliable pneumatic connection.

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 |

| 0.7 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 stop on machining fixtures to accommodate varying raw material thicknesses without manufacturing new spacer blocks.
Adjust the extend endpoint on packaging lines during product format changeovers to set precise sealing head heights on the fly.
Establish trial end positions for pressing operations during initial machine setup, locking the M12x1.25 adjuster nut once the optimal depth is found.
When sizing this cylinder, consider the 25 mm bore neighbour below (188.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa) or the 40 mm bore above (527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa) if your force margins are tight. If your application requires a fixed extend length and no on-machine adjustability, a standard ACQ32 cylinder is sufficient. To order this adjustable version correctly, confirm the 32 mm bore, 25 mm full stroke, 30 mm adjustment window, -S magnet option, and the default female M8x1.25 rod-end thread.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder provides 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 30 mm adjustment window allows a usable extend range of 0 to 25 mm, while the retract stroke remains fixed.
The external M12x1.25 threaded stop limits the extend stroke but does not change the piston area, meaning force output is identical to a standard ACQ. End-of-stroke damping is handled by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends, not adjustable air cushions, so external shock absorbers are recommended for high-energy loads.
