The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ32X90-50SB 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 ACQJ32X90-50SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with an external threaded stop and lock nut that limits the extend end position. You can fine-tune the usable extend stroke anywhere from 40 mm up to the full 90 mm directly on your machinery. The retract stroke remains completely unaffected by this adjustment.
Because the piston area stays the same, output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore, delivering 402.1 N of push at 0.5 MPa. This variant includes a built-in piston magnet for position sensing and a male M14x1.5 rod-end thread. It features a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end and operates at speeds between 30 and 500 mm/s.

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 machining fixture during setup, accommodating varying part sizes without swapping out cylinder hardware.
Adjust the extend end position rapidly during product format changeovers on a packaging line, cutting downtime when switching carton dimensions.
Test different push depths for press-fit operations on an automated assembly machine, finding the optimal end point before finalizing the mechanical stop.
When sizing this 32 mm bore actuator, stepping down to a 25 mm bore yields 245.4 N push, while moving up to a 40 mm bore provides 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa. If your application never requires end-position changes, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder will suffice. To order this adjustable version, confirm the 32 mm bore, 90 mm full stroke, 50 mm adjuster window, the S magnet option, and the B male rod thread.
Quick checklist
The usable extend range is 40-90 mm, created by the 90 mm full stroke minus the 50 mm adjustment window. Force is identical to a standard ACQ: push is 402.1 N and pull is 301.6 N at 0.5 MPa, push is 562.9 N at 0.7 MPa, and maximum push is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An M12x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut mechanically limits the extend length, while the retract stroke stays fixed. The cylinder uses fixed elastomer bumpers rather than adjustable air cushions. The included -S magnet works with both reed and electronic solid-state switches for position detection.
