About the Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X45-50
The AirTAC ACQJ32X45-50 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring an external threaded stop with a lock nut that limits the extend stroke. You can fine-tune the extend end position directly on your machine without swapping parts, yielding a usable extend range of 0-45 mm from a 45 mm full stroke. 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 402.1 N push and 301.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa. The 32 mm bore uses a PT1/8 port, a 16 mm rod, and an M12x1.25 adjuster thread. It relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for deceleration, and the body includes sensor grooves, though this specific unit ships without a magnet.

| Model | Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X45-50 |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQJ JIS compact adjustable-stroke cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Full stroke | 45 mm |
| 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 ACQJ32X45-50 Is Used
Machining Fixture Clamps
Dial in the exact clamping extension on a machining fixture during setup, accommodating varying part thicknesses without fabricating new spacer blocks.
Product Changeover Stops
Adjust the physical stroke stop on a conveyor line to handle different package sizes during production changeovers rapidly.
Prototype Press Testing
Safely test trial end positions and compression depths on a prototype assembly press before finalizing the required fixed stroke length.
Is the Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X45-50 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore actuator, note that dropping to a 25 mm bore reduces push force to 245.4 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a 40 mm bore increases it to 628.3 N. If your application never requires altering the extend endpoint, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder will suffice. For ordering, confirm the 32 mm bore, 45 mm full stroke, 50 mm window, female M8x1.25 rod thread, and PT1/8 port. Since this model lacks the -S magnet, add that suffix if you require reed or solid-state switch feedback.
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 ACQJ32X45-50 FAQ
The usable extend range is 0-45 mm from a 45 mm full stroke with a 50 mm window. Force is identical to a standard ACQ: push is 402.1 N and pull is 301.6 N at 0.5 MPa, push is 562.9 N at 0.7 MPa, and max push is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The retract stroke is unaffected.
An external M12x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut mechanically limits how far the rod extends, changing stroke length only without altering piston area or force. Deceleration relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper, not an adjustable air cushion. The body has sensor grooves, but this model ships without a magnet.
