The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X90-20B is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø32mm bore and 90mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The AirTAC ACQJ32X90-20B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring an external threaded stop with a lock nut that limits the extend end position. You can fine-tune the usable forward travel from 70 mm up to the full 90 mm stroke directly on your equipment, while the retract stroke remains completely unaffected. Because the piston area is unchanged, output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore.
This 32 mm bore variant pushes 402.1 N and pulls 301.6 N at 0.5 MPa. It includes a male M14x1.5 rod-end thread for direct load coupling, a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration, and a PT1/8 port. The body features integrated magnetic-switch grooves, though this specific SKU 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 without machining new spacers, adjusting the stop screw to accommodate varying raw part thicknesses.
Quickly reposition the extend end stop on a packaging line when switching between different carton sizes, using the 20 mm adjustment window to set new end limits.
Safely test different extend depths on an automated assembly press, relying on the fixed elastomer bumper to absorb the end-of-stroke impact during setup.
Selecting this model gives a 32 mm bore with a 90 mm total stroke and a 20 mm adjustment window, yielding a 70-90 mm usable forward range. If your application never requires end-position tuning, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder provides the exact same force in a simpler package. When sizing force, stepping down to a 25 mm bore yields 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas moving up to a 40 mm bore provides 628.3 N. Confirm your ordering essentials: 32 mm bore, 90 mm full stroke, 20 mm window, male rod thread (-B), and no magnet.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder delivers a push force of 402.1 N and a pull force of 301.6 N at 0.5 MPa, with a push force of 562.9 N at 0.7 MPa and a maximum push of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The full stroke is 90 mm, but the external adjuster allows you to shorten the extend stroke by up to 20 mm, giving a usable extend range of 70-90 mm.
No, the adjuster changes only the stroke length, not the piston area, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. This model features a male M14x1.5 rod-end thread for direct load coupling, and it uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions.
