The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X100-100B is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø40mm bore and 100mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The ACQJ40X100-100B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 40mm bore and a 100mm full stroke. An external threaded stop with a lock nut limits the extend travel, letting you fine-tune the end position directly on the machine. The usable extend range spans 0 to 100mm, while the retract stroke remains completely unaffected.
Because the piston area is unchanged, force output is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 628.3N push and 527.8N pull. This unit includes a male M14x1.5 rod-end thread for direct coupling and a fixed elastomer bumper at each end. The body retains sensor grooves, though this specific model 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 | 628 N | 528 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 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.

For 0.5 MPa pneumatic push requirements, this 40mm bore yields 628.3N. Stepping down to a 32mm bore drops push to 402.1N, while a 50mm bore raises it to 981.8N. If your application never requires stroke adjustments, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder will provide the same force in a simpler package. When ordering this adjustable variant, confirm the 40mm bore, 100mm full stroke, 100mm adjustment window, the male rod thread (-B), and whether you need the magnet option (-S) for solid-state or reed switch sensing.
Quick checklist
It delivers 628.3N push and 527.8N pull at 0.5 MPa, 879.6N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The full stroke is 100mm, and with the 100mm adjustment window, the usable extend range is 0 to 100mm.
The external M12x1.25 threaded stop with lock nut limits only the extend travel, leaving the retract stroke and force unchanged. Deceleration is handled by a fixed elastomer bumper, not an adjustable air cushion. Note that a plain ACQ-type cylinder will not hold its load on air loss; use an external rod lock for fail-safe holding.
