Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X60-20
The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X60-20 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.

About the Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X60-20
The AirTAC ACQJ32X60-20 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with an external threaded stop and lock nut that limits the extend end position. You get a usable extend range of 40 to 60 mm, as the 20 mm adjustment window shortens the 60 mm full stroke. The retract stroke remains unaffected by this mechanism.
Because the piston area is unchanged, output force equals a standard ACQ of this bore. The 32 mm bore generates 402.1 N push and 301.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa. It features a 16 mm rod, PT1/8 porting, and fixed elastomer bumpers rather than adjustable air cushions. Body sensor grooves are present, but this specific SKU ships without a magnet.

| Rod thread | M8×1.25 (F) / M14×1.5 (B) |
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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø32mm)
| 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.

Where the Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X60-20 Is Used
Machining Fixture Stops
Dial in the extend position from 40 to 60 mm on the fly to accommodate raw material variations without machining new spacer blocks.
Product Changeover
Quickly readjust the extend endpoint during packaging line format changes, saving downtime by turning the external M12x1.25 stopper screw.
Assembly Machine Trials
Test different pressing depths on an automated assembly station by tuning the stroke end limit before locking the nut for production runs.
Is the Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X60-20 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 32 mm bore gives 562.9 N push at 0.7 MPa. If you need less force, a 25 mm bore provides 245.4 N push, while stepping up to a 40 mm bore yields 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa. A fixed-stroke ACQ suffices if your end position never varies. When ordering, confirm the 60 mm full stroke, 20 mm window, female M8x1.25 rod thread, and whether you require the S magnet option for solid-state or reed switches.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Need on-machine end-position tuning?
- ✓ Full stroke and adjust window (mm)
- ✓ Force at your working pressure
- ✓ Magnet (S) for sensors?
- ✓ Female (blank) or male (B) rod thread
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Lock the adjuster nut after setting the stop.
- check The stop limits the EXTEND stroke only.
- check Avoid side load on the short piston rod.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X60-20 FAQ
It delivers 402.1 N push and 301.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 562.9 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The usable extend range is 40 to 60 mm, created by the 20 mm adjustment window on the 60 mm full stroke.
The external M12x1.25 threaded stop with lock nut mechanically limits how far the rod extends, shortening the stroke without changing the piston area, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. Deceleration relies on fixed elastomer bumpers, not adjustable air cushions, so external shock absorbers are recommended for high-speed loads.
