The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X90-40SB 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 ACQJ32X90-40SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with an external threaded stop and lock nut that limits the extend stroke. You get a usable extend range of 50 to 90 mm, while the retract stroke remains unaffected. It includes a male M14x1.5 rod end and a built-in piston magnet.
Because the piston area is unchanged, the output force equals a standard ACQ of this bore. The fixed elastomer bumper decelerates the load at stroke ends, and the M12x1.25 adjuster thread allows on-machine position tuning without swapping parts.

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.

| 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 for varying part lengths on a milling fixture without machining custom spacers.
Rapidly reset the extend endpoint within the 50-90 mm window when switching between product variants on an assembly line.
Fine-tune the push distance for cartons of different widths during a packaging line format changeover.
This 32 mm bore yields 402.1 N push and 301.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa. Stepping down to a 25 mm bore drops push force to 245.4 N, whereas a 40 mm bore raises push to 628.3 N. If your extend end position never varies, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder suffices. For this unit, verify the 90 mm full stroke, the 40 mm adjustment window, the S magnet, and the B male rod thread.
Quick checklist
This model has a 32 mm bore, a 90 mm full stroke, and a 40 mm adjustment window, giving a usable extend range of 50-90 mm. It 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.
The external M12x1.25 threaded stop with lock nut limits the extend stroke only, meaning force is identical to a standard ACQ because piston area is unchanged. The cylinder uses fixed elastomer bumpers, not an adjustable air cushion. It will not hold a load on air loss, so add an external rod lock for fail-safe holding.
