The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X60-20SB 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 ACQJ32X60-20SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring an external threaded stop and lock nut that limits the extend stroke. With a 60mm total stroke and a 20mm adjustment window, you can fine-tune the forward end position anywhere between 40mm and 60mm directly on your equipment. The retract movement remains completely unaffected by this mechanism.
Output force stays identical to a standard ACQ unit because the piston area is unchanged, delivering 402.1N push and 301.6N pull at 0.5MPa. This variant includes a male M14x1.5 rod end for direct load coupling, a built-in piston magnet for position sensing, and fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends. The standard PT1/8 port and 16mm rod ensure straightforward integration.

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.

If your application only requires a fixed 60mm forward movement, a standard ACQ series cylinder without the external adjuster will suffice. However, if you need trial end positions or frequent product changeovers, this ACQJ32X60-20SB is the correct choice. For lower force requirements, a 25mm bore provides 245.4N push at 0.5MPa; for higher energy needs, stepping up to a 40mm bore yields 628.3N push. Confirm your ordering essentials: 32mm bore, 60mm full stroke, 20mm window, magnet (S), and male rod thread (B).
Quick checklist
The usable extend range is 40-60mm (60mm full stroke minus the 20mm window). Force is identical to a standard ACQ: 402.1N push and 301.6N pull at 0.5MPa, 562.9N push at 0.7MPa, with a maximum push of 82kgf at 1.0MPa.
The external M12x1.25 threaded stop with lock nut limits only the forward stroke length, leaving the retract stroke unaffected. Force is unchanged. The cylinder uses fixed elastomer bumpers for end-of-stroke deceleration, and the built-in magnet (-S) works with both reed and solid-state electronic switches.
