Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X60-30
The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X60-30 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 ACQJ32X60-30
The AirTAC ACQJ32X60-30 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring an external extend-stop mechanism. A threaded adjuster screw with a lock nut limits the outward stroke, yielding a usable extend range of 30 to 60 mm from the 60 mm full stroke. The retract distance remains completely unaffected by this adjustment.
Because the piston area is unchanged, output force equals a standard ACQ of the same bore: 402.1 N push and 301.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa. The unit integrates a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration and includes body grooves for mounting reed or solid-state switches, though this specific SKU ships without a magnet.

| Adjuster thread | M12×1.25 |
| Port size | PT1/8 |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.15 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |

| Speed range | 30 – 500 mm/s |
| 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 ACQJ32X60-30 Is Used
Machining Fixture Clamping
Dial in the exact clamping reach on a CNC fixture without machining new spacers, shortening the extend stroke by up to 30 mm to adapt to different raw material thicknesses.
Carton Forming Stops
Set precise folding flap positions on a packaging line during product changeover, using the external stop to quickly match varying box dimensions.
Assembly Press Trial
Establish the correct insertion depth for a press fit on an assembly line, testing different end positions safely before locking the nut down.
Is the Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X60-30 the Right Cylinder?
This 32 mm bore provides 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, sitting between the 25 mm bore (245.4 N) and the 40 mm bore (628.3 N). If your extend position never varies, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder is sufficient. When ordering, confirm the 32 mm bore, 60 mm full stroke, 30 mm adjust window, female M8x1.25 rod end, and PT1/8 porting.
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 ACQJ32X60-30 FAQ
The usable extend range is 30-60 mm. The 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 the maximum push is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external M12x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut limits the extend stroke only; the retract stroke is unaffected. The cylinder uses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for deceleration, not an adjustable air cushion. This model has no -S magnet, but the body retains sensor grooves for adding external switches.
