The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X60-30S 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 ACQJ32X60-30S is a double-acting, JIS compact cylinder with an external threaded stop and lock nut that limits the extend end position. You can fine-tune the usable extend range from 30mm up to the full 60mm stroke directly on the machine without swapping parts, while the retract stroke remains completely unaffected.
Because the piston area is unchanged, the force output is identical to a standard ACQ of the same bore, delivering 402.1N of push force at 0.5 MPa. The body features integrated magnetic-switch grooves, and the -S suffix confirms a built-in piston magnet compatible with reed or solid-state electronic sensors. Fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends handle end-of-stroke deceleration.

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 during setup, shortening the extend stroke from 60mm down to 30mm to accommodate varying part thicknesses.
Rapidly reposition the end-of-stroke stop for a new carton size on a packaging line, using the external M12x1.25 adjuster to shift the extend endpoint without replacing hardware.
Establish trial end positions for pressing operations on automated assembly equipment, allowing operators to fine-tune the 60mm stroke on the floor to prevent over-travel.
When sizing this 32mm bore actuator, note the neighbouring options: a 25mm bore yields 245.4N push at 0.5 MPa, while a 40mm bore provides 628.3N. If your extend end position never varies, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder is sufficient. To order this adjustable version, confirm the 32mm bore, 60mm full stroke, 30mm adjustment window, the -S magnet option, and the default female M8x1.25 rod-end thread.
Quick checklist
This 32mm bore cylinder provides 402.1N push and 301.6N pull force at 0.5 MPa, 562.9N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The usable extend range is 30-60mm, meaning the 60mm full stroke can be shortened by up to the 30mm adjustment window.
No, the external M12x1.25 threaded stop changes only the extend stroke length, not the piston area, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. The cylinder relies on fixed NBR elastomer bumpers for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions.
