The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X60-10 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø32mm bore and 60mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The AirTAC ACQJ32X60-10 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring an external threaded stop with a lock nut to limit the extend stroke. With a 60mm full stroke and a 10mm adjustment window, you can tune the usable extend range from 50mm up to 60mm on the machine. The retract stroke remains completely unaffected.
Because the piston area is unchanged, the output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore, delivering 402.1N push and 301.6N pull at 0.5 MPa. The cylinder body incorporates a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration and includes sensor grooves, though this specific model ships without a magnet. It uses a PT1/8 port and a Ø16mm piston rod with an M8x1.25 female rod-end 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 extend distance between 50 and 60mm on a CNC fixture without machining new spacers for different part heights.
Adjust the extend stroke by up to 10mm on a packaging line diverter to handle varying carton widths rapidly during product transitions.
Test multiple extend end positions on a new assembly rig to find the optimal travel distance before locking the M12x1.25 adjuster nut.
For sizing, stepping down to a 25mm bore yields 245.4N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a 40mm bore provides 628.3N push at 0.5 MPa. If your end position never varies, a fixed-stroke ACQ32X60 suffices; otherwise, this ACQJ variant provides the 50-60mm flexibility needed for product changeovers. When ordering, confirm the 32mm bore, 60mm full stroke, 10mm window, female rod thread, and whether you need the -S magnet option for position sensing.
Quick checklist
The force is identical to a standard ACQ32: push is 402.1N and pull is 301.6N at 0.5 MPa, push is 562.9N at 0.7 MPa, and max push is 82kgf at 1.0 MPa. The usable extend range is 50-60mm (60mm full stroke minus the 10mm window), while the retract stroke is unaffected.
An external M12x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut limits the extend stroke without changing the piston area, so force remains constant. Deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end, not an adjustable air cushion. Note that this model ships without a sensor magnet.
