The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X300-30B is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø32mm bore and 300mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The ACQJ32X300-30B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 32mm bore and a 300mm full stroke. As a long-stroke made-to-order variant exceeding the standard 100mm maximum, it incorporates an external male-threaded piston rod end (M14x1.5) for direct load coupling. It operates within 0.15-1.0 MPa pressure limits and reaches speeds of 30-500 mm/s.
An external M12x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut restricts the outward movement, yielding a usable extend range of 270 to 300mm while leaving the retract stroke entirely unaffected. Because the piston area remains constant, output force is identical to a standard ACQ, delivering 402.1N push and 301.6N pull at 0.5 MPa. The unit relies on fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end for deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions.

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 exact extend end positions during prototype machining setups without machining new spacers or swapping cylinders.
Adjust the pusher stroke on a packaging line diverter on-site to accommodate varying carton lengths quickly.
Fine-tune the clamping reach on extended machinery arms where a 300mm stroke is required to clear large workpieces.
When sizing this actuator, consider the neighbouring bores: stepping down to a 25mm bore yields 245.4N push force, while stepping up to a 40mm bore provides 628.3N at 0.5 MPa. If your end position never varies, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder is simpler and more compact. To order correctly, confirm the 32mm bore, 300mm full stroke, 30mm adjustment window, male M14x1.5 rod thread, and note this unit ships without a magnet. For load-holding safety, add an external rod lock, as air loss will cause drift.
Quick checklist
This 32mm bore cylinder delivers 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 300mm, but the external adjuster allows you to set the extend end position anywhere within a 270 to 300mm usable range via a 30mm window.
No, the external M12x1.25 threaded stop only limits the extend stroke length; it does not alter piston area, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. Deceleration is handled by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end, not adjustable air cushions, so external shock absorbers are recommended for high-energy impacts.
