The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X60-50SB 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 ACQJ32X60-50SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with a 32mm bore and a 60mm full stroke. An external threaded stop with a lock nut limits the extend travel, yielding a usable forward range of 10 to 60mm. The return stroke remains fixed at its standard length. Because the piston area stays constant, output force equals that of a standard ACQ unit.
This model includes a built-in piston magnet for reed or solid-state switches and a male M14x1.5 rod end. It retains the series' fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-travel deceleration. Operating pressure spans 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, with a speed range of 30 to 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 reach on a CNC milling fixture during setup, allowing rapid accommodation of different raw casting heights without machining new spacers.
Regulate the folding flap contact position on a packaging line, enabling quick product-changeover between varying box dimensions while maintaining consistent pressure.
Establish precise trial end positions for pressing bearings into housings, letting operators fine-tune insertion depth directly on the machine frame before final lock-down.
For sizing, stepping down to a 25mm bore yields 245.4N push, while stepping up to a 40mm bore provides 628.3N at 0.5 MPa. If your application always operates at a fixed length, a standard ACQ32 cylinder without the external stop is simpler. When ordering this adjustable version, confirm the 32mm bore, 60mm base stroke, 50mm window, the required S magnet, and B male rod thread.
Quick checklist
The usable extend range is 10 to 60mm (a 60mm full stroke shortened by up to a 50mm window), while the retract stroke is unaffected. Force is identical to a standard ACQ32: push is 402.1N and pull is 301.6N at 0.5 MPa, push is 562.9N at 0.7 MPa, and maximum push is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external M12x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut limits the extend travel without altering piston area, meaning force is unchanged. The unit uses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion. The included -S magnet works with reed or electronic solid-state switches.
