The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X300-30SB 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 AirTAC ACQJ32X300-30SB is a double-acting, single-rod JIS compact cylinder built for specialized long-stroke applications, featuring a 300mm total stroke that exceeds the standard 100mm maximum for this bore size. Equipped with a male M14x1.5 piston rod end, it couples directly to your load. An external M12x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut limits the extend end position, providing a usable extend range of 270-300mm. The retract stroke remains completely unaffected.
Because the adjuster only restricts travel length and leaves piston area untouched, output force is identical to a standard ACQ of the same bore. At 0.5MPa, push force is 402.1N and pull is 301.6N. The unit relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions. The -S option provides a built-in piston magnet compatible with both reed and electronic solid-state switches.

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.

This 32mm bore delivers 402.1N push at 0.5MPa; sizing down to a 25mm bore yields 245.4N, while stepping up to a 40mm bore provides 628.3N. If your application requires a fixed 300mm extend every cycle without variation, a standard ACQ32X300 cylinder is sufficient. When ordering, confirm the 300mm full stroke, the 30mm adjustment window, the -S magnet, and the -B male rod thread. For high-speed approaches over this long stroke, consider adding an external shock absorber since the fixed bumper has limited energy capacity.
Quick checklist
The usable extend range is 270-300mm (300mm full stroke minus a 30mm window). Force is identical to a standard ACQ32: push is 402.1N and pull is 301.6N at 0.5MPa, push is 562.9N at 0.7MPa, and maximum push is 82kgf at 1.0MPa.
An external M12x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut limits only the extend stroke; retract travel and force remain unchanged. The cylinder uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers, not adjustable air cushions. Note that a plain ACQ-type cylinder does not hold its load on air loss, so an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required for fail-safe holding.
