The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X60-10SB 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 ACQJ32X60-10SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring an external extend stop. A threaded screw with a lock nut restricts how far the rod travels outward, yielding a usable extend range of 50 to 60 mm from the 60 mm full stroke. The retract distance remains completely unaffected. Because the piston area stays constant, output force equals a standard ACQ, delivering a push of 402.1 N and pull of 301.6 N at 0.5 MPa.
This unit includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) compatible with reed or solid-state switches, plus a male M14x1.5 rod end (-B) for direct load coupling. It uses a PT1/8 port and a 16 mm rod. Deceleration relies on fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends rather than adjustable air cushions. The external M12x1.25 adjuster thread allows precise end-position tuning without swapping parts.

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 CNC fixture. The external stop lets operators shift the extend endpoint between 50 and 60 mm to accommodate different raw material thicknesses without machining new spacers.
Adapt a pressing station rapidly during product family changeovers. The male M14x1.5 rod threads directly to tooling, while the lock nut allows quick shortening of the forward stroke to suit varied component heights.
Fine-tune the folding flap position on packaging equipment. The external adjuster provides precise 50 to 60 mm forward travel control to handle multiple carton profiles while the fixed NBR bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact.
If you need slightly less push force, the 25 mm bore variant offers 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to a 40 mm bore provides 628.3 N. This 32 mm bore strikes a balance, yielding 562.9 N at 0.7 MPa with a maximum push capacity of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. A fixed-stroke ACQ is sufficient if your end position never varies. When ordering, confirm the 60 mm full stroke, 10 mm adjustment window, S magnet, B male rod thread, and PT1/8 porting.
Quick checklist
The usable extend range is 50 to 60 mm. Force is identical to a standard ACQ: push is 402.1 N and pull is 301.6 N at 0.5 MPa, push is 562.9 N at 0.7 MPa, and maximum push is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The adjuster only changes stroke length, not force.
An external M12x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut limits the extend stroke; the retract stroke is unaffected. The cylinder uses fixed elastomer bumpers, not adjustable air cushions. A plain ACQ does not hold its load on air loss, so an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required for fail-safe holding.
