The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X70-40SB 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 ACQJ32X70-40SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with a 32mm bore and 70mm full stroke. An external threaded stop with a lock nut limits the extend end position, giving a usable forward range of 30 to 70mm. The retract stroke remains unaffected. Because the piston area stays the same, the output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore.
This unit includes a male M14x1.5 piston rod end for direct load coupling and a built-in magnet for position sensing. It uses a PT1/8 port and an M12x1.25 adjuster thread. Fixed elastomer bumpers handle end-of-travel deceleration, while the integrated magnet works with reed or solid-state switches.

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.

For 0.5 MPa push requirements, this 32mm bore delivers 402.1 N. If less force is needed, the 25mm bore provides 245.4 N, or step up to the 40mm bore for 628.3 N. If your application requires a fixed extend position every cycle without on-the-fly adjustments, a standard ACQ cylinder will suffice. When ordering this adjustable variant, confirm the 32mm bore, 70mm full stroke, 40mm window, the male rod thread (-B), and the magnet (-S).
Quick checklist
The usable extend range is 30-70mm (70mm full stroke minus the 40mm window). Force is identical to a standard ACQ: 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.
An external M12x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut limits the forward stroke length only; it does not change the piston area or force. Retract stroke is unaffected. Fixed NBR elastomer bumpers decelerate the load at stroke ends, and the -S magnet works with reed or electronic switches.
