The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X45-30SB is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø32mm bore and 45mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The AirTAC ACQJ32X45-30SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring an external threaded stop with a lock nut that limits the extend end position. You can fine-tune the usable extend travel from 15 mm up to the full 45 mm directly on the machine without swapping parts, while the retract stroke remains completely unaffected. Because the piston area stays the same, the output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore.
This 32 mm bore model includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) compatible with reed or solid-state switches, and a male M14x1.5 piston rod end (-B) for direct load coupling. It pushes with 402.1 N at 0.5 MPa and features a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end to decelerate the load near stroke limits.

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 a CNC machining center during initial setup or when swapping part fixtures without machining new stop spacers.
Adjust the extend tamping or sealing head position on packaging lines to accommodate varying box heights quickly on the fly.
Set and test varying material bend depths on a small metal forming press to find the exact end position before locking the adjuster nut.
If you need less push force, the 25 mm bore version provides 245.4 N at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the 40 mm bore yields 628.3 N for heavier loads. A fixed-stroke ACQ is sufficient if your end position never varies. To order this adjustable unit correctly, confirm the 32 mm bore, 45 mm full stroke, 30 mm window, -S magnet, and -B male rod thread.
Quick checklist
The force is identical to a standard ACQ: 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 usable extend range is 15 to 45 mm, shortened from the 45 mm full stroke by up to a 30 mm window.
The external M12x1.25 threaded stop and lock nut limit only the extend length, meaning the force stays unchanged since the piston area is not altered. Deceleration is handled by a fixed elastomer bumper at each end, not an adjustable air cushion, so you may need an external shock absorber for high energy loads.
