The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X250-30SB 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.
The ACQJ32X250-30SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder built for applications requiring a long, made-to-order 250mm stroke with on-machine end-position tuning. Because 250mm exceeds the standard 100mm maximum for a 32mm bore, this unit is configured as a long-stroke variant. An external M12x1.25 threaded stop and lock nut lets you shorten the extend travel by up to 30mm, yielding a usable forward range of 220-250mm without swapping parts. The retract stroke remains fixed.
This model includes a piston magnet (-S) for position sensing alongside a male M14x1.5 rod-end thread (-B) for direct load coupling. The adjuster alters stroke length only, so output force matches a standard ACQ exactly: 402.1N push and 301.6N pull at 0.5MPa. It features a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end and PT1/8 ports. Note that a plain compact cylinder drifts on air loss; add an external rod lock for fail-safe holding.

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.

Dial in the exact 220-250mm extend position on a long-stroke assembly fixture without machining custom spacers or replacing the actuator.
Quickly shift the forward end stop by up to 30mm when routing different pallet sizes through a conveyor handling station.
Establish optimal feeding depth on a CNC lathe bar feeder by testing extend endpoints within the 30mm adjustment window before locking the nut.
Choose this 32mm bore actuator when you need a 220-250mm forward stroke and on-the-fly adjustability. If a fixed 250mm stroke is sufficient, a standard ACQ series cylinder suffices. For higher force, the next bore up (40mm) provides 628.3N push at 0.5MPa; for lighter duty, a 25mm bore yields 245.4N. Confirm your ordering essentials: 32mm bore, 250mm full stroke, 30mm adjuster window, S magnet, and B male rod thread.
Quick checklist
This 32mm bore cylinder has a 250mm full stroke with a 30mm adjustable window, giving a usable extend range of 220-250mm. 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.
An external M12x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut limits forward travel; it changes stroke length only, leaving piston area and force unchanged. The retract stroke is unaffected. Deceleration relies on fixed elastomer bumpers, not adjustable air cushions, so use an external shock absorber for high-energy loads.
