The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X80-50SB is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø32mm bore and 80mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The AirTAC ACQJ32X80-50SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with an external threaded stop and lock nut that limits the extend end position. You get a usable extend range of 30-80 mm from the 80 mm full stroke, tunable directly on the machine without swapping parts. The retract stroke remains unaffected. An M12x1.25 adjuster thread handles the stroke reduction.
Because the piston area stays the same, output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore: 402.1 N push and 301.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa. This SB variant includes a male M14x1.5 piston rod end for direct load coupling and a built-in magnet (-S) for position sensing. The body uses fixed elastomer NBR bumpers at each end rather than adjustable air cushions, operating reliably from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa.

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 from 30 to 80 mm on a CNC lathe bar puller or loading fixture without machining new hard stops.
Quickly alter the extend endpoint on a packaging line conveyor when switching between different carton depths or product sizes.
Safely trial different extend distances on a new assembly station to find the optimal kinematic reach before finalizing the design.
If your application only requires a fixed 80 mm extend and never needs tuning, a standard ACQ32X80 cylinder will suffice and cost less. When sizing, note this 32 mm bore delivers 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa; stepping down to a 25 mm bore drops that to 245.4 N, while a 40 mm bore increases it to 628.3 N. To order this adjustable unit correctly, confirm the 32 mm bore, 80 mm full stroke, 50 mm window, the S magnet for electronic or reed switches, and the B male rod thread.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder outputs 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. The 80 mm full stroke can be shortened by up to 50 mm, yielding a usable extend range of 30-80 mm.
No, the external M12x1.25 stop only limits how far the rod extends; piston area is unchanged so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. Deceleration relies on fixed elastomer NBR bumpers at both ends, not adjustable air cushions, so external shock absorbers are recommended for high-energy loads.
