The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X30-10 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø32mm bore and 30mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The AirTAC ACQJ32X30-10 is a JIS compact double-acting cylinder featuring a 32mm bore and a 30mm full stroke. An external threaded stop with a lock nut lets you fine-tune the extend end position on the machine, providing a usable extend range of 20-30mm. The retract stroke remains unaffected. Because the piston area is unchanged, the force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore.
This unit delivers 402.1N push and 301.6N pull force at 0.5MPa, with a maximum push capacity of 82kgf at 1.0MPa. It features a 16mm piston rod, a PT1/8 port, and a female M8x1.25 rod-end thread. The body includes fixed elastomer bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration and integrated sensor grooves, though this specific model ships without a magnet.

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 clamping extend position on machining fixtures from 20 to 30mm without machining custom spacers or swapping parts.
Adjust the end stop quickly on packaging lines when switching between product sizes, ensuring precise mechanical positioning without reprogramming a PLC.
Test various extend endpoints on automated test equipment to find the optimal travel distance before finalizing a machine design.
When sizing this actuator, consider the neighbouring bores: a 25mm bore provides 245.4N push at 0.5MPa, while a 40mm bore yields 628.3N push at 0.5MPa. If your extend position never varies, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder suffices. For this adjustable version, confirm the 32mm bore, 30mm full stroke, 10mm window, female rod thread, and that no magnet (-S) is required. Note that a plain ACQ-type 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 usable extend range is 20-30mm (30mm full stroke minus the 10mm window). It provides 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 retract stroke is unaffected by the adjuster.
An external M12x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut limits how far the rod extends, changing stroke length only. The force is identical to a standard ACQ because the piston area is unchanged. Deceleration is handled by fixed elastomer bumpers, not an adjustable air cushion.
