The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X70-30SB 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 ACQJ32X70-30SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring an external threaded stop and lock nut that limits the extend stroke. You get a usable extend range of 40-70 mm (the 70 mm full stroke minus up to 30 mm), while the retract stroke remains unaffected. Because the piston area stays constant, output force equals a standard ACQ of this bore.
This unit includes a male M14x1.5 rod-end thread for direct load coupling and a built-in magnet (-S) for position sensing. It uses a PT1/8 port and relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for deceleration. The external adjuster utilizes an M12x1.25 thread for precise on-machine positioning.

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 position during setup or tooling changes on a CNC lathe without machining new spacers.
Modify the push depth for varying package sizes on a packaging line using the external stopper nut.
Test and set trial end positions for pressing subcomponents before finalizing the mechanical stroke.
If your application needs less push force, stepping down to a 25 mm bore yields 245.4 N @0.5 MPa, whereas a larger 40 mm bore provides 628.3 N. If the end position never varies, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder is sufficient. For this model, confirm the 32 mm bore, 70 mm full stroke, 30 mm window, the -S magnet, and the -B male rod thread when ordering.
Quick checklist
It delivers 402.1 N push and 301.6 N pull @0.5 MPa, 562.9 N push @0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 82 kgf @1.0 MPa. The full stroke is 70 mm with a 30 mm window, giving a usable extend range of 40-70 mm. Retract stroke and force are identical to a standard ACQ.
The external M12x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut limits the extend stroke only, leaving retract unaffected. Deceleration relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper, not an adjustable air cushion. The included -S magnet works with reed or electronic solid-state switches for position detection.
