The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X60-40SB 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 ACQJ32X60-40SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring an external threaded stop with a lock nut that limits the extend stroke. You can fine-tune the extend end position on the machine without swapping parts, yielding a usable extend range of 20-60mm from the 60mm full stroke. The retract stroke remains completely unaffected. Because the piston area stays the same, output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore. The adjuster mechanism only alters travel length, not thrust.
This unit includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) for position sensing alongside a male piston rod end (-B, M14x1.5) that couples directly to your load. It utilizes a PT1/8 port, a Ø16mm rod, and an M12x1.25 adjuster thread. Deceleration relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end rather than an adjustable air cushion. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa, with speeds of 30-500 mm/s.

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 extension on a CNC fixture during part-changeover setups without machining new stop collars.
Adjust the pressing height of sealing jaws on the fly to accommodate various package sizes on the same line.
Establish trial end positions for pressing subcomponents safely, tweaking the 20-60mm travel until the force curve is correct.
When sizing this 32mm bore actuator, consider the neighbouring bores: a 25mm provides 245.4N push, while a 40mm yields 628.3N at 0.5 MPa. If your extend target is fixed and never varies, a standard ACQ cylinder is sufficient. If your setup requires on-the-fly end-position shifts, this model is ideal. To order, confirm the 32mm bore, 60mm full stroke, 40mm adjuster window, and the S (magnet) plus B (male rod thread) options.
Quick checklist
This 32mm bore cylinder has a 60mm full stroke with a 40mm adjustable window, giving a usable extend range of 20-60mm. Force is identical to a standard ACQ: push is 402.1N and pull is 301.6N at 0.5 MPa, 562.9N push at 0.7 MPa, and max push is 82kgf at 1.0MPa.
An external M12x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut limits the extend travel; it changes stroke length only, so thrust remains unchanged. The retract stroke is unaffected. Fixed NBR elastomer bumpers decelerate the piston at both ends, and the -S magnet works with reed or solid-state switches.
