The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X75-40B is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø32mm bore and 75mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The AirTAC ACQJ32X75-40B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a male-thread piston rod end (M14x1.5) that couples directly to your load. An external threaded stop with a lock nut limits the EXTEND end position, allowing you to fine-tune the usable extend range from 35 up to 75 mm without swapping parts. The RETRACT stroke remains completely unaffected.
Because the piston area is unchanged, the 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 deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion. Body sensor grooves are integrated, 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.

Adjust the extend end position on packaging lines when switching carton sizes, using the external stop to set new push distances instantly.
Dial in the exact clamping depth on automated test fixtures without machining new spacers or changing the cylinder body.
Fine-tune the extend stroke on welding equipment to accommodate varying material thicknesses directly on the machine.
This 32 mm bore provides 402.1 N of push at 0.5 MPa, sitting between the smaller 25 mm bore (245.4 N push) and the larger 40 mm bore (628.3 N push). If your end position never varies, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder suffices. When ordering, confirm the 75 mm full stroke, the 40 mm adjustment window, the male rod thread (M14x1.5), and the PT1/8 port. Note that a plain ACQ-type does not hold its load on air loss; for a fail-safe hold, specify an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
The force is identical to a standard ACQ bore 32: push 402.1 N and pull 301.6 N at 0.5 MPa, push 562.9 N at 0.7 MPa, and max push 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The usable extend range is 35-75 mm (75 mm full stroke minus up to a 40 mm window).
The M12x1.25 external threaded stop with lock nut limits the extend stroke length only; it does not change piston area or force. Deceleration relies on a fixed elastomer bumper, not an adjustable air cushion. For high-energy cycles, slow the approach or add an external shock absorber.
