The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X100-50SB 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 ACQJ40X100-50SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with an external threaded stop and lock nut that limits the extend end position. It provides a usable extend range of 50-100mm from a 100mm full stroke, while the retract stroke remains completely unaffected. Because the piston area is unchanged, force output is identical to a standard ACQ of the same bore.
This unit includes a male M14x1.5 rod end for direct load coupling and a built-in piston magnet for position sensing. Operating at 30-500 mm/s, it uses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for impact deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion.

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 operations, this 40mm bore generates 628.3N push and 527.8N pull force. If your application requires less force, the 32mm bore offers 402.1N push, or for heavier loads, the 50mm bore provides 981.8N push. A fixed-stroke ACQ is sufficient if your extend end position never requires on-machine tuning. To order, confirm the 40mm bore, 100mm full stroke, 50mm adjustable window, -S magnet, and -B male rod thread.
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 with a 50mm adjustable window, giving a usable extend range of 50-100mm.
No, the adjuster only changes the extend stroke length; force remains identical to a standard ACQ because the piston area is unchanged, and the retract stroke is unaffected. The unit uses fixed elastomer bumpers for deceleration, and the built-in magnet works with reed or electronic solid-state switches.
