The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X5-10S 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 ACQJ32X5-10S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring an external threaded stop with a lock nut that limits the extend end position. With a full stroke of 5 mm and a 10 mm adjustment window, the usable extend range spans 0 to 5 mm. The retract stroke remains completely unaffected by this mechanism. An integrated piston magnet (-S) is included for position sensing.
Because the internal piston area is unchanged, output force matches a standard ACQ of the same bore exactly. The 32 mm bore generates 402.1 N of push force and 301.6 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. It uses a PT1/8 port, a 16 mm rod, and fixed elastomer NBR bumpers at both ends rather than adjustable pneumatic cushions. The external adjuster utilizes 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 clamping reach on welding fixtures. The 0-5 mm extend range allows operators to compensate for material thickness variations without machining new spacer blocks.
Adapt end-of-line conveyor stops rapidly when switching between product families. The external M12x1.25 adjuster lets you fine-tune the blocking position on the fly.
Set precise fluid dispensing heights on laboratory automation. The lock nut secures the rod extension precisely, while the fixed elastomer bumper ensures repeatable stopping.
When sizing this actuator, compare its 402.1 N push force at 0.5 MPa against the next smaller 25 mm bore (245.4 N) and the larger 40 mm bore (628.3 N). A fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder is sufficient if your end position never requires tweaking, but this adjustable model is ideal for trial setups. To order, confirm the 32 mm bore, 5 mm full stroke, 10 mm window, the -S magnet option, and the default female M8x1.25 rod-end thread.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder 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 window, allowing a usable extend range of 0 to 5 mm.
No, the external stop only limits the stroke length, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. The cylinder uses fixed elastomer bumpers, not adjustable air cushions. Note that a plain compact cylinder will not hold a load if air pressure is lost; use an external rod lock for fail-safe holding.
