The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X70-50 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 ACQJ32X70-50 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring an external M12x1.25 threaded stop and lock nut that limits the extend stroke. You can fine-tune the extend end position on the machine across a 20 to 70 mm usable range, shortening the 70 mm full stroke by up to a 50 mm window. The retract movement remains completely unaffected.
Because the piston area stays constant, output force equals a standard ACQ of the same bore, yielding 402.1 N push and 301.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa. The unit integrates fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions. Sensor grooves are built into the body, though this specific configuration ships without a magnet.

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.

Quickly modify the extend endpoint on packaging lines when switching to a different carton size, avoiding physical parts replacement.
Dial in the exact clamping reach on a CNC fixture during initial part trials to prevent over-travel and workpiece damage.
Regulate the pressing depth of pins or bearings on an automated assembly rig without altering the pneumatic valve flow.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, stepping down to a 25 mm bore yields 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a 40 mm bore provides 628.3 N push. If your equipment never requires end-position adjustments, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder is sufficient. To order this adjustable variant, confirm the 32 mm bore, 70 mm full stroke, 50 mm window, female M8x1.25 rod thread, and whether a -S magnet is needed for switching.
Quick checklist
The usable extend range is 20-70 mm, created by subtracting up to a 50 mm window from the 70 mm full stroke. 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.
No, the external M12x1.25 threaded stop only limits the extend length; the piston area is unchanged so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. Deceleration is handled by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers, not adjustable air cushions, and the retract stroke is unaffected.
