The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X70-75 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 ACQJ32X70-75 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring an external extend stop. A threaded M12x1.25 adjuster and lock nut restrict how far the rod travels outward. This permits an on-machine usable extend range of 0 to 70 mm, shortening the 70 mm full stroke by up to 75 mm. The retract distance remains completely unaffected.
Because the piston area is unchanged, output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore: 402.1 N push and 301.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa. The unit relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion. Body sensor grooves are present, 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.

Dial in the exact clamping reach on a CNC fixture during initial setup, allowing perfect alignment against raw material without machining custom stop spacers.
Adapt the folding stroke rapidly on a packaging line when switching between different carton heights, ensuring the platen meets the new panel size perfectly.
Test and set trial end positions for pressing bearings on an assembly press, tweaking the outward travel limit safely until the desired insertion depth is achieved.
When sizing this 32 mm bore actuator, consider the neighbouring capacities. Dropping to a 25 mm bore yields 245.4 N push, whereas stepping up to a 40 mm bore provides 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa. If your end position never varies, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder is simpler and entirely sufficient. To order this adjustable unit correctly, confirm the 32 mm bore, 70 mm full stroke, 75 mm window, female M8x1.25 rod end, and PT1/8 porting.
Quick checklist
This cylinder delivers 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. It features a 32 mm bore, PT1/8 port, female M8x1.25 rod end, and an M12x1.25 adjuster thread. The usable extend range is 0 to 70 mm via the 75 mm window, while the retract stroke stays fixed.
The external threaded stop physically limits the rod extension distance without altering the piston area, meaning the force remains identical to a standard ACQ. Deceleration is handled solely by a fixed elastomer bumper, not an adjustable air cushion. Note that a plain ACQ body does not hold its load on air loss; for fail-safe holding, use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
