The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X60-10B 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 ACQJ32X60-10B 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 60mm and an adjustment window of 10mm, you can fine-tune the usable extend range from 50mm up to 60mm directly on the machine without changing parts. The retract stroke remains completely unaffected by this mechanism.
Because the adjuster only restricts travel length and not the piston area, the output force is identical to a standard ACQ of the same bore, delivering 402.1N of push force at 0.5 MPa. This unit includes a male M14x1.5 rod-end thread for direct load coupling, a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration, and pre-machined sensor grooves. It operates at pressures from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, though it ships without a magnet 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 clamping extend position from 50 to 60mm on a CNC machining fixture to accommodate varying raw part dimensions without machining new spacers.
Rapidly adjust the end-of-stroke stop during product changeovers on a packaging line, tuning the extend reach by up to 10mm to handle different carton widths.
Set trial end positions on a new automated test rig, tweaking the extend length in millimeter increments to find the optimal engagement point before finalizing the design.
This 32mm bore cylinder provides a push force of 402.1N at 0.5 MPa. Stepping down to a 25mm bore yields 245.4N, while moving up to a 40mm bore provides 628.3N, helping you size exactly to the load. If your application requires a fixed 60mm extend stroke with no on-machine tuning, a standard ACQ32X60 will suffice. When ordering, confirm the 32mm bore, 60mm full stroke, 10mm adjustable window, the male M14x1.5 rod thread (-B), and note that this configuration omits the magnet option.
Quick checklist
The push force is 402.1N and pull is 301.6N at 0.5 MPa, with a push of 562.9N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The usable extend range is 50-60mm, set by a 10mm adjustment window on a 60mm full stroke. It features a PT1/8 port, a male M14x1.5 rod thread, and an M12x1.25 external adjuster thread.
The external threaded stop with lock nut limits only the extend stroke length; it does not change the piston area, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. The cylinder uses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper for deceleration, not an adjustable air cushion. Because it is a standard double-acting cylinder, it will not hold a load on air loss and drifts without a valve; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe holding.
