The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X70-30S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø32mm bore and 70mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The AirTAC ACQJ32X70-30S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring an external threaded stop with a lock nut on the extend side. This mechanism allows you to fine-tune the forward end position on the machine, providing a usable extend range of 40 to 70 mm. The retract stroke remains completely unaffected by this adjustment.
Because the piston area stays the same, output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this size, yielding 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa. The unit includes a Ø16 mm rod, a PT1/8 port, and fixed elastomer bumpers at both ends. Equipped with an -S magnet, it supports both reed and solid-state switches for position sensing.

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 extend stop on machining fixtures without swapping cylinders or machining new spacers during initial setup.
Shift the extend end position up to 30 mm shorter when adapting a packaging line for a different carton size.
Test different clamping depths on a test rig by rotating the external M12x1.25 adjuster to find the optimal travel.
At 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore generates 402.1 N of push force. If your load is lighter, dropping to a 25 mm bore yields 245.4 N push, while stepping up to a 40 mm bore provides 628.3 N. If your extend position never needs tuning, a fixed-stroke ACQ32X70 is simpler. When ordering, confirm the 32 mm bore, 70 mm full stroke, 30 mm adjuster window, the -S magnet option, and the default female M8x1.25 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 full stroke is 70 mm with a 30 mm window, giving a usable extend range of 40-70 mm.
No, the adjuster only limits how far the rod extends, leaving force unchanged because the piston area remains the same. The retract stroke is unaffected, and fixed NBR bumpers decelerate the load at both ends.
