Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X100-20S
The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X100-20S 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.

About the Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X100-20S
The AirTAC ACQJ40X100-20S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 40 mm bore and a 100 mm full stroke. An external M12x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut lets you fine-tune the extend end position on the machine itself, yielding a usable extend range of 80 to 100 mm. The retract stroke remains completely unaffected by this adjustment.
Because the piston area is unchanged, output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore: 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa. The body integrates fixed elastomer bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration, and the -S option provides a piston magnet compatible with reed or solid-state electronic switches via the built-in grooves.

| Bore size | Ø40 mm |
| Full stroke | 100 mm |
| Adjuster thread | M12×1.25 |
| Port size | PT1/8 |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.15 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |

| Speed range | 30 – 500 mm/s |
| Rod thread | M8×1.25 (F) / M14×1.5 (B) |
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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø40mm)
| 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.

Where the Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X100-20S Is Used
Machining Fixture Stops
Dial in the extend position of clamping arms on a CNC mill within the 80-100 mm window to accommodate raw material tolerances without machining new spacer blocks.
Packaging Changeover
Rapidly adjust the extend endpoint of a product-diverting gate during packaging line format changes, using the external stop to switch between carton sizes quickly.
Prototype End Positions
Test various extend endpoints on a laboratory assembly rig by turning the M12x1.25 adjuster to find the optimal insertion depth before finalizing the mechanical design.
Is the Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X100-20S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 40 mm bore provides 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less thrust, a 32 mm bore yields 402.1 N push, whereas stepping up to a 50 mm bore provides 981.8 N. A fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder is sufficient if your extend position never needs variation, but the ACQJ is essential for setups requiring on-the-fly end-position tuning. When ordering, confirm the 40 mm bore, 100 mm full stroke, 20 mm adjustable window, the -S magnet option, and the default female M8x1.25 rod-end thread.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Need on-machine end-position tuning?
- ✓ Full stroke and adjust window (mm)
- ✓ Force at your working pressure
- ✓ Magnet (S) for sensors?
- ✓ Female (blank) or male (B) rod thread
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Lock the adjuster nut after setting the stop.
- check The stop limits the EXTEND stroke only.
- check Avoid side load on the short piston rod.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X100-20S FAQ
The usable extend range is 80-100 mm (100 mm full stroke minus the 20 mm adjustable window). Force is identical to a standard ACQ: 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 879.6 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum push of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The external M12x1.25 threaded stop with lock nut limits only the extend stroke length; the retract stroke remains unaffected. The adjuster changes stroke length only, so force is unchanged. The cylinder uses fixed elastomer bumpers at both ends rather than adjustable air cushions.
