The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X30-10SB 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 ACQJ32X30-10SB is a double-acting, JIS compact cylinder with an external extend-stop adjuster. A threaded rod-end stop and lock nut lets you set the extend end position on the machine, yielding a usable extend range of 20-30 mm from the 30 mm full stroke. The retract stroke remains unaffected. Because the piston area is unchanged, the output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore.
This model includes a male M14x1.5 piston rod end (-B) for direct load coupling and a built-in magnet (-S) for position sensing. It uses a PT1/8 port, a Ø16 mm piston rod, and fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends. The external adjuster features an M12x1.25 thread for precise stroke tuning.

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 20-30 mm extend position during modular fixture setup without swapping cylinders or machining new stopper collars.
Adapt end-of-stroke stops rapidly on packaging lines during product changeover by turning the external M12x1.25 adjuster to match new carton depths.
Establish trial end positions on machining stations to test clamping reach, preventing over-travel before finalizing hard stops.
For 0.5 MPa operation, this 32 mm bore yields 402.1 N push and 301.6 N pull force. If your fixture requires less force, the adjacent 25 mm bore provides 245.4 N push; for heavier demands, the 40 mm bore offers 628.3 N push. If the extend position never needs tuning, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder suffices. Confirm ordering essentials: 32 mm bore, 30 mm full stroke, 10 mm window, -S magnet, and -B male rod thread.
Quick checklist
The 32 mm bore generates 402.1 N push and 301.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 562.9 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum push of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The full stroke is 30 mm with a 10 mm adjustable window, giving a usable extend range of 20-30 mm. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa.
The external M12x1.25 threaded stop limits extend length only; it does not alter piston area, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. The cylinder uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers for end deceleration. The built-in -S magnet works with both reed and electronic solid-state switches for position detection.
