The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X50-50SB 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 ACQJ32X50-50SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with an external threaded stop and lock nut that limits the extend end position. The full stroke is 50mm and the adjustable window is 50mm, giving a usable extend range of 0-50mm. The retract stroke remains unaffected. An external M12x1.25 adjuster screw lets you fine-tune the extend endpoint on the machine without swapping parts.
Because the piston area is unchanged, the force is identical to a standard ACQ of the same bore: 402.1N push and 301.6N pull at 0.5MPa, up to 562.9N push at 0.7MPa and a maximum of 82kgf at 1.0MPa. This 32mm bore unit features a 16mm rod, a male M14x1.5 rod-end thread for direct load coupling, a PT1/8 port, and fixed elastomer bumpers at both ends. The built-in piston magnet works with reed or electronic 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 extend endpoint on a CNC machining fixture when raw material thickness varies, using the external stop to set the exact clamping position without reprogramming.
Adapt a pressing station during product family changeovers by rotating the M12x1.25 adjuster screw to shift the extend stroke within the 0-50mm window for new component heights.
Find the ideal sealing or folding position on a packaging line by running trial end positions, then locking the nut to secure the precise extend distance.
If your setup needs less push force, the 25mm bore yields 245.4N at 0.5MPa; for higher force, step up to the 40mm bore which provides 628.3N. If your end position never varies, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder is sufficient. To order this unit confirm the 32mm bore, 50mm full stroke, 50mm window, the -S magnet, and the -B male rod thread.
Quick checklist
The force is identical to a standard ACQ: 402.1N push and 301.6N pull at 0.5MPa, 562.9N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum push of 82kgf at 1.0MPa. The full stroke is 50mm with a 50mm adjustable window, giving a usable extend range of 0-50mm. The retract stroke is unaffected.
An external M12x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut limits the extend stroke only; it changes stroke length but not force. Fixed elastomer bumpers decelerate the piston at both ends. For fail-safe load holding on air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve, as the plain cylinder drifts.
