The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X25-30SB 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 ACQJ32X25-30SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with a 32mm bore and a 25mm full stroke. An external M12x1.25 threaded stop and lock nut limits the extend end position, providing a usable extend range of 0-25mm. The retract stroke remains unaffected. Because the piston area is unchanged, the output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore: 402.1N push and 301.6N pull at 0.5MPa.
This unit includes a male M14x1.5 rod-end thread for direct load coupling and a built-in piston magnet (-S) compatible with reed or solid-state electronic switches. It features a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration, operating within a 0.15-1.0MPa pressure range. The standard PT1/8 port supplies air to the 16mm diameter piston rod.

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.

Quickly dial in a new extended end position on packaging machinery when switching product sizes, using the external stop to set the exact 0-25mm reach.
Dial in the precise extend stroke during CNC machine door or guard actuation setup without machining new spacers or swapping cylinder hardware.
Accommodate varying clamping depths on machining fixtures by turning the threaded stop to shorten the extend stroke exactly where the part requires.
If you require less push force, the 25mm bore yields 245.4N at 0.5MPa, while stepping up to a 40mm bore provides 628.3N. If the exact 25mm extend position is permanently fixed and never needs on-machine tweaking, a standard ACQ32X25 cylinder will suffice. When ordering this adjustable variant, confirm the 32mm bore, 25mm full stroke, 30mm adjustment window, the -S magnet for sensing, and the -B male rod thread.
Quick checklist
The usable extend range is 0-25mm (25mm full stroke minus the 30mm window). The force is identical to a standard ACQ: 402.1N push and 301.6N pull at 0.5MPa, 562.9N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum push of 82kgf at 1.0MPa.
The external M12x1.25 threaded stop changes only the extend stroke length, not the piston area, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. Retract is unaffected. The cylinder relies on fixed NBR elastomer bumpers for deceleration, not adjustable air cushions.
