The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X60-30SB 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 ACQJ32X60-30SB 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, giving a usable extend range of 30 to 60 mm out of the 60 mm full stroke. The retract distance remains completely unaffected by this adjustment.
Because the piston area stays constant, output force equals a standard ACQ, delivering 402.1 N push and 301.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa. This SB configuration includes a male M14x1.5 rod end for direct load coupling and a built-in piston magnet for position sensing. It uses a PT1/8 port and fixed elastomer bumpers rather than adjustable pneumatic cushions.

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 static 60 mm extend distance, a fixed-stroke ACQ32X60 will suffice without needing the external adjuster hardware. When sizing for power, stepping down to a 25 mm bore yields 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa, while moving up to a 40 mm bore provides 628.3 N. To order this adjustable variant correctly, confirm the 32 mm bore, 60 mm full stroke, 30 mm window, the S magnet option, and the B male rod thread.
Quick checklist
It provides 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 30 to 60 mm, created by a 30 mm adjustment window on the 60 mm full stroke.
An M12x1.25 threaded adjuster with a lock nut mechanically limits the outward stroke length without altering piston area, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. The cylinder relies on fixed elastomer bumpers for end-of-stroke deceleration, and the included S magnet is compatible with both reed and electronic solid-state switches.
