Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X40-40SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X40-40SB is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø32mm bore and 40mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.

About the Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X40-40SB
The AirTAC ACQJ32X40-40SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with an external threaded stop and lock nut that limits the extend stroke. You can tune the usable extend range from 0 up to 40 mm directly on the machine, while the retract stroke remains unaffected. Because the piston area stays the same, output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore.
This unit includes a male M14x1.5 rod-end thread (-B) for direct load coupling and a built-in piston magnet (-S) for position sensing. It features a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end, operates at 30-500 mm/s, and uses a PT1/8 port. The external adjuster utilizes an M12x1.25 thread.

| Adjuster thread | M12×1.25 |
| Port size | PT1/8 |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.15 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |

| Speed range | 30 – 500 mm/s |
| Rod thread | M8×1.25 (F) / M14×1.5 (B) |
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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø32mm)
| 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.

Where the Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X40-40SB Is Used
Machining Fixture Stops
Dial in the exact clamping reach on a CNC machining center during part changeovers without machining new spacer blocks.
Packaging Fold Adjustments
Modify the tucking arm extension depth on a packaging line to accommodate varying carton heights on the fly.
Assembly Press Positioning
Establish trial end positions for pressing bearings on an automated assembly line to prevent over-travel damage.
Is the Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X40-40SB the Right Cylinder?
Choosing this 32 mm bore provides 402.1 N push and 301.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less force, the 25 mm bore delivers 245.4 N push, whereas stepping up to a 40 mm bore yields 628.3 N. A fixed-stroke ACQ is sufficient if your end position never varies, but this adjustable model excels for flexible setups. Confirm your ordering essentials: 32 mm bore, 40 mm full stroke, 40 mm window, magnet (-S), and male rod thread (-B).
Quick checklist
- ✓ Need on-machine end-position tuning?
- ✓ Full stroke and adjust window (mm)
- ✓ Force at your working pressure
- ✓ Magnet (S) for sensors?
- ✓ Female (blank) or male (B) rod thread
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Lock the adjuster nut after setting the stop.
- check The stop limits the EXTEND stroke only.
- check Avoid side load on the short piston rod.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X40-40SB FAQ
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 40 mm with a 40 mm window, allowing a usable extend range of 0-40 mm. The retract stroke remains fixed.
An external M12x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut mechanically limits the rod extension. This changes only the stroke length, so the output force remains identical to a standard ACQ. Deceleration is handled by a fixed elastomer bumper, and the -S magnet supports both reed and solid-state electronic switches.
