The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X300-40SB 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 ACQJ32X300-40SB is a double-acting, single-rod JIS compact cylinder built for applications requiring variable extend positioning. It features a 32mm bore and a 300mm full stroke, classifying it as a long-stroke, made-to-order variant since it exceeds the 100mm standard maximum for this bore size. An external M12x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut restricts the outward travel, providing a usable extend range of 260-300mm. The inward stroke remains completely unaffected.
Because the internal piston area is unchanged, output force is identical to a standard ACQ of the same bore, delivering 402.1N push at 0.5MPa. This unit includes a male M14x1.5 piston rod end for direct load coupling and a built-in magnet (-S) for position sensing. Deceleration relies on fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends 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 the exact extend position of a 32mm bore clamping fixture on a CNC mill without machining new spacers.
Shift a sorting gate stroke by up to 40mm on a packaging line to accommodate different carton lengths rapidly.
Establish optimal end-of-stroke contact points on a test press by tuning the 260-300mm extend range on the fly.
For lighter duties, the 25mm bore offers 245.4N push at 0.5MPa, whereas stepping up to the 40mm bore yields 628.3N. If your end-position never varies, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder suffices and avoids the external adjuster. When ordering this model, verify the 32mm bore, 300mm full stroke, 40mm adjuster window, the -S magnet for electronic or reed switches, and the -B male M14x1.5 rod thread.
Quick checklist
The usable extend range is 260-300mm (a 40mm window off the 300mm full stroke). Force matches a standard ACQ: 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.
An external M12x1.25 threaded screw with a lock nut mechanically limits the extend distance without altering piston area or force. The cylinder uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers, not adjustable air cushions. It will not hold a load on air loss; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe holding.
