The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X45-40SB 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 ACQJ32X45-40SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring an external extend-stroke adjuster. A threaded stop with a lock nut lets you set the extend end position anywhere in a 5 to 45 mm usable range, shortening the 45 mm full stroke by up to 40 mm. The retract stroke remains completely unaffected. Because the piston area is unchanged, output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore, delivering 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa.
This unit includes a male M14x1.5 rod end for direct load coupling and a PT1/8 port. It carries the -S magnet for reed or solid-state switches, plus a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration. Operating pressure spans 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, and the adjuster mechanism uses an M12x1.25 thread.

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 for varying part heights on a CNC lathe without machining new stop collars.
Quickly reposition the extend limit to accommodate different box sizes on a packaging line during product runs.
Test multiple clamping depths on a metal-forming press by shifting the external stop nut within the 5-45 mm window.
Choosing this 32 mm bore yields 402.1 N push and 301.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa. If your application needs less force, dropping to a 25 mm bore provides 245.4 N push, while stepping up to a 40 mm bore offers 628.3 N push. Select this adjustable model when you need on-machine extend tuning; if the end position is fixed, a standard ACQ cylinder suffices. Confirm your ordering details: 32 mm bore, 45 mm full stroke, 40 mm window, the -S magnet, and the -B male rod thread.
Quick checklist
It has a 32 mm bore, a 45 mm full stroke, and a 40 mm adjustment window, giving a usable extend range of 5 to 45 mm. 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 port is PT1/8.
The external M12x1.25 threaded stop and lock nut limit only the extend stroke; the retract stroke and piston area remain unchanged, so force is not reduced. Fixed NBR bumpers decelerate the rod near stroke ends, but a plain cylinder does not hold a load on air loss. For fail-safe holding, use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
