The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X35-30 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø32mm bore and 35mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The AirTAC ACQJ32X35-30 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 32mm bore and a 35mm full stroke. An external threaded stop with a lock nut limits the extend end position, providing a usable extend range of 5-35mm. The retract stroke remains completely unaffected. Because the piston area is unchanged, the output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore, delivering 402.1N push force at 0.5MPa.
This unit features a 16mm piston rod, a female M8x1.25 rod-end thread, and PT1/8 ports. It includes fixed elastomer bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration. While this specific model ships without a magnet, the body retains magnetic-switch grooves for adding position sensing if needed 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.

Set precise extend positions for machining different part lengths on a single CNC fixture without fabricating custom spacers.
Quickly alter the extend reach during automated assembly line product changeovers to accommodate varying component widths.
Fine-tune the folding arm extension on packaging equipment to handle various carton sizes and prevent crushing.
When sizing this 32mm bore actuator, consider the neighbouring options for your force requirements. Stepping down to a 25mm bore yields 245.4N push force at 0.5MPa, while stepping up to a 40mm bore provides 628.3N. If your extend end position never varies, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder is sufficient. For this adjustable variant, confirm the 32mm bore, 35mm full stroke, 30mm adjustment window, female rod thread, and that no magnet (-S) is required for your setup.
Quick checklist
The usable extend range is 5-35mm (a 35mm full stroke shortened by up to a 30mm window). The retract stroke is unaffected. Force is identical to 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 stop with a lock nut mechanically limits the extend distance, changing only the stroke length, not the force. The cylinder uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers, not adjustable air cushions. Note that a plain ACQ does not hold its load on air loss; use an external rod lock for fail-safe holding.
