Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X5-10B
The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X5-10B 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.

About the Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X5-10B
The AirTAC ACQJ32X5-10B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with a 32 mm bore and a 5 mm full stroke. An external threaded stop with a lock nut limits the extend end position, allowing you to fine-tune the usable extend range from 0 up to 5 mm directly on the machine without swapping parts. The retract stroke remains completely unaffected. Because the adjuster only changes stroke length and not piston area, force output stays identical to a standard ACQ of this bore size.
This specific configuration includes a male-thread piston rod end (M14x1.5) that couples directly to your load. It features a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion. The body retains magnetic-switch grooves, though this unit ships without a magnet. Operating pressure spans 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, and the standard PT1/8 port handles the pneumatic supply.

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 ACQJ32X5-10B Is Used
Short-Stroke Clamping
Dial in exact 0 to 5 mm clamping contact on machined fixtures without machining new spacers or swapping cylinders.
Product Changeover Stops
Adapt end positions rapidly on a packaging line when switching between slightly different package heights.
Trial End Positions
Test varying extend endpoints on assembly stations to find the optimal insertion depth before finalizing the setup.
Is the Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X5-10B the Right Cylinder?
For sizing context, stepping down to a 25 mm bore drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 245.4 N, while moving up to a 40 mm bore raises it to 628.3 N. If you do not require end-position tuning, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder suffices. When ordering this adjustable model, confirm the 32 mm bore, 5 mm full stroke, 10 mm adjustment window, the male rod thread option (-B), and whether you need the -S magnet for reed or solid-state switches.
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 ACQJ32X5-10B FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 402.1 N and the pull force is 301.6 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 562.9 N. The maximum push force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The full stroke is 5 mm, and with the 10 mm adjustment window, the usable extend range is 0 to 5 mm.
The external M12x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut mechanically limits the extend distance, changing only the stroke length and not the piston area, so force remains unchanged. The retract stroke is unaffected. The cylinder uses fixed elastomer bumpers for deceleration, not a brake, so the rod will drift if air pressure is lost; use an external rod lock for fail-safe load holding.
