The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X45-50SB 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 ACQJ32X45-50SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with an external threaded stop and lock nut that limits the extend end position. It provides a usable extend range of 0-45 mm from a 45 mm full stroke, while the retract stroke remains unaffected. The adjuster uses an M12x1.25 thread for precise on-machine tuning without changing parts.
Because the piston area stays the same, force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore. You get 402.1 N push and 301.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa. This 32 mm bore unit includes a male M14x1.5 rod end thread, a built-in magnet for electronic or reed switches, and fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end.

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 end position for varying part sizes on a milling fixture without swapping physical spacers.
Quickly reposition the extend stroke limit during product format changes on a carton sealing machine.
Trial different end positions on a test rig by turning the external M12x1.25 stopper screw to find optimal kinematics.
Choosing this 32 mm bore model gives 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, the 25 mm bore yields 245.4 N push, whereas stepping up to the 40 mm bore provides 628.3 N push. A fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder is sufficient if your extend end position never requires adjustment. Confirm your ordering essentials: 32 mm bore, 45 mm full stroke, 50 mm adjuster window, -S magnet, and -B male rod thread.
Quick checklist
The usable extend range is 0-45 mm from a 45 mm full stroke with a 50 mm adjustment window. 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.
An external M12x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut limits the extend stroke length, leaving the retract stroke unaffected. The cylinder uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end for deceleration. The -S built-in magnet works with reed or solid-state switches.
