The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X5-10SB 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 ACQJ32X5-10SB 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 0-5 mm from a 5 mm full stroke, while the retract stroke remains unaffected. The piston area is unchanged, so output force stays identical to a standard ACQ of the same bore.
This unit includes a male M14x1.5 rod-end thread for direct load coupling and a PT1/8 port. It features fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends rather than adjustable air cushions. Equipped with a piston magnet (-S), it supports both reed and solid-state electronic switches for position sensing.

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 0-5 mm clamping extension on machining fixtures to accommodate varying part tolerances without swapping hardware.
Rapidly adjust the extend end position on packaging lines during format changes, saving setup time when switching between different carton sizes.
Fine-tune the extend limit on assembly pick-and-place units to establish the ideal insertion depth for delicate electronic components.
For lower force requirements, a 25 mm bore provides 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to a 40 mm bore yields 628.3 N. If your machine never requires end-position tuning, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder is sufficient. To order this adjustable version, confirm the 32 mm bore, 5 mm full stroke, 10 mm window, magnet, and male rod thread.
Quick checklist
It delivers 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. The 10 mm adjustable window on the 5 mm full stroke provides a usable extend range of 0-5 mm.
An external M12x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut mechanically limits the extend length, meaning force remains identical to a standard ACQ. The cylinder uses fixed elastomer bumpers, not air cushions, and does not hold its load on air loss; use an external rod lock for fail-safe holding.
