The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X5-10 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø32mm bore and 5mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The AirTAC ACQJ32X5-10 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with an external threaded stop that limits the extend end position. With a full stroke of 5 mm and a 10 mm adjustment window, you can fine-tune the usable extend range down to 0-5 mm directly on the machine. The retract stroke remains completely unaffected by this mechanism. An M12x1.25 adjuster thread handles the end-position tuning.
Because the piston area is unchanged, output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore, delivering a push of 402.1 N and a pull of 301.6 N at 0.5 MPa. The body features a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration. This unit ships without a magnet, though the barrel retains sensor grooves for adding switches later if needed.

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 depth on machining fixtures. The external stop allows operators to tweak the extend position without swapping out cylinder hardware.
Adapt assembly line stops rapidly when switching between product variants. The adjustable end position accommodates different part heights on the fly.
Test and set exact extend endpoints on new automated machinery. The threaded stop provides a safe way to limit travel during initial commissioning.
If you need slightly less push force, the 25 mm bore provides 245.4 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 40 mm bore yields 628.3 N. A fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder is sufficient if your end position never requires shifting. When ordering this adjustable variant, confirm the 32 mm bore, 5 mm full stroke, 10 mm window, female M8x1.25 rod thread, and PT1/8 port. Note that this specific configuration does not include the S magnet option.
Quick checklist
It delivers a push force of 402.1 N and a pull force of 301.6 N at 0.5 MPa, with a push of 562.9 N at 0.7 MPa. The maximum push is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The full stroke is 5 mm with a 10 mm adjustment window, resulting in a usable extend range of 0-5 mm.
An external M12x1.25 threaded screw with a lock nut limits the extend stroke length, meaning the adjuster changes stroke only and does not alter the output force. The cylinder uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions. This model ships without a sensor magnet.
