The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X300-75 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 ACQJ32X300-75 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder engineered for applications requiring variable extend endpoints. It features a 300mm total stroke paired with an external M12x1.25 threaded stop and lock nut, allowing you to dial back the forward travel by up to 75mm. This creates a usable extension range of 225-300mm, while the retract stroke remains completely unaffected. Because the internal piston area stays constant, output force is identical to a standard ACQ of the same bore.
This long-stroke, made-to-order variant exceeds the standard 100mm maximum for a 32mm bore, delivering extended reach in a riveted C-clip body. It generates 402.1N of push force and 301.6N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, peaking at 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The unit incorporates fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than adjustable pneumatic cushions. It ships without a magnet but retains integrated switch grooves for adding sensors later.

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 clamping reach on CNC machining centers during setup. The 225-300mm adjustability accommodates different raw material widths without fabricating custom spacer blocks.
Rapidly reposition product pushers or folding mechanisms on packaging lines when switching carton sizes. The external lock nut secures the new extend endpoint firmly.
Set precise trial downward strokes for pressing bearings or pins. Operators can tweak the 32mm bore's 402.1N extension force depth on the fly to prevent part damage.
When sizing this actuator, consider the 32mm bore against adjacent options. Stepping down to a 25mm bore drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 245.4N, whereas moving up to a 40mm bore increases it to 628.3N. If your machinery never requires end-position adjustments, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder will accomplish the same task with a shorter lead time. For this adjustable model, verify your ordering essentials: 32mm bore, 300mm full stroke, 75mm window, female M8x1.25 rod thread, and PT1/8 porting. Note that because it lacks the S magnet, you must add one separately if electronic or reed switch sensing is required.
Quick checklist
This 32mm bore cylinder provides 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 total stroke is 300mm, but the external stop allows you to shorten the extend travel by up to 75mm, yielding a usable extend range of 225-300mm.
An external M12x1.25 threaded screw with a lock nut mechanically limits how far the rod extends, leaving the retract stroke unchanged. This adjustment alters only the travel distance, not the piston area, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. The cylinder uses fixed elastomer bumpers instead of adjustable air cushions, and because it is a standard double-acting cylinder, it will not hold a load if air pressure is lost without an external rod lock.
