Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X250-100
The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X250-100 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø32mm bore and 250mm 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 ACQJ32X250-100
The ACQJ32X250-100 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder built for applications requiring precise extend-position tuning. It features a 32mm bore and a 250mm full stroke. An external M12x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut lets you shorten the extend stroke by up to 100mm, yielding a usable extend range of 150-250mm. The retract stroke remains completely unaffected. Because the piston area is unchanged, output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore.
This unit is a long-stroke made-to-order variant, exceeding the 100mm standard maximum for a 32mm bore. It delivers 402.1N push and 301.6N pull force at 0.5 MPa, operating at speeds of 30-500 mm/s. The body includes sensor grooves for reed or solid-state switches, though this specific configuration ships without a magnet. Deceleration is handled by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends rather than adjustable air cushions.

| 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 ACQJ32X250-100 Is Used
Machining Center Fixtures
Accommodates varying raw material lengths on a CNC fixture by dialing the extend stop back from 250mm down to 150mm without swapping hardware.
Packaging Line Changeover
Quickly resets a sorting diverter arm position during product family transitions using the external M12x1.25 adjuster to match new carton depths.
Assembly Press Trials
Safely probes optimal end-of-stroke locations for a 32mm bore pressing operation during prototype runs before finalizing mechanical hard stops.
Is the Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X250-100 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, consider the 402.1N push force at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less force, stepping down to a 25mm bore provides 245.4N push, while moving up to a 40mm bore yields 628.3N push. A standard fixed-stroke ACQ is sufficient if your end position never varies. For ordering, confirm the 32mm bore, 250mm full stroke, 100mm adjuster window, PT1/8 porting, and the default female M8x1.25 rod-end thread. Remember to add the -S magnet option if you need electronic or reed switch sensing.

- ✓ 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 ACQJ32X250-100 FAQ
This 32mm bore cylinder provides 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 full stroke is 250mm, but the external adjuster allows you to shorten the extend stroke by up to 100mm, creating a usable extend range of 150-250mm.
No, the adjuster only limits stroke length, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. The retract stroke is unaffected. End-of-travel energy is absorbed by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers rather than adjustable air cushions. Note that this model ships without a sensor magnet, and a plain ACQ will drift if air pressure is lost, requiring an external rod lock for fail-safe load holding.
