The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X50-40SB is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø32mm bore and 50mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The AirTAC ACQJ32X50-40SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring an external threaded stop with a lock nut that limits the extend stroke. You can tune the extend end position on the machine across a 10 to 50 mm usable range, while the retract stroke remains unaffected. This model includes a male M14x1.5 rod-end thread for direct coupling.
Because the adjuster only alters travel length and not piston area, output force stays identical to a standard ACQ of the same bore. The 32 mm bore yields 402.1 N push and 301.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa. Fixed elastomer bumpers decelerate the load at each end, and the integrated -S magnet works with reed or solid-state switches.

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 a VMC during setup. The external stop lets operators shift the extend endpoint by up to 40 mm without swapping cylinders.
Adjust the end-of-stroke position on packaging line diveters when switching carton sizes. The lock nut secures the new 10 to 50 mm extend position.
Set trial pressing depths on automated assembly equipment. Operators can fine-tune the extend stroke on the machine while relying on the fixed bumper for end deceleration.
If you need less push force at 0.5 MPa, the 25 mm bore provides 245.4 N; if your application requires more, step up to the 40 mm bore offering 628.3 N. A fixed-stroke ACQ is sufficient if your end position never varies. For this unit, verify the 32 mm bore, 50 mm full stroke, 40 mm window, -S magnet, and -B male rod thread.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it provides 402.1 N push and 301.6 N pull; at 0.7 MPa push is 562.9 N. Maximum push is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The full stroke is 50 mm with a 40 mm window, yielding a usable extend range of 10 to 50 mm.
The M12x1.25 threaded stop with lock nut limits how far the rod extends, shortening the stroke without changing piston area, so force is identical to a standard ACQ. The fixed elastomer bumper decelerates the load near stroke end. A plain ACQ does not hold its load on air loss; install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe holding.
