The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X300-40S 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 ACQJ32X300-40S is a double-acting, single-rod JIS compact cylinder built for long-stroke, made-to-order applications. It features an external M12x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut that limits the extend end position. You get a usable extend range of 260 to 300 mm, while the retract stroke remains completely unaffected.
Because the piston area is unchanged, output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore, delivering 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa. The unit includes a built-in piston magnet for electronic or reed switches, fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration, and a PT1/8 port.

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 260-300 mm extend position on a conveyor sorting gate during product changeovers without machining new spacers.
Adjust the extend stop on the fly to accommodate different box depths on a packaging line, utilizing the full 300 mm stroke capacity.
Fine-tune the end stop on a machining center clamping arm to test trial positions before locking the M12x1.25 adjuster nut.
This 32 mm bore provides 402.1 N push and 301.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, the 25 mm bore offers 245.4 N push, or for heavier loads, step up to the 40 mm bore which yields 628.3 N push. If your machine only requires a fixed end position, a standard ACQ32 cylinder suffices. When ordering, confirm the 300 mm full stroke, 40 mm adjustment window, S magnet option, and female M8x1.25 rod-end thread.
Quick checklist
It delivers 402.1 N push and 301.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 562.9 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The full stroke is 300 mm, and the external adjuster provides a 40 mm window, yielding a usable extend range of 260 to 300 mm.
No, the adjuster only changes the extend stroke length, not the piston area, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. The cylinder uses fixed elastomer bumpers for deceleration, not adjustable air cushions. For fail-safe load holding on air loss, you must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
