The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X100-75B 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.
This double-acting single-rod JIS compact cylinder features an external threaded stop with a lock nut that restricts how far the rod travels outward. You can dial the extension down anywhere from 25 mm up to the full 100 mm directly on the machine, while the retract stroke remains completely unaffected. The adjuster screw utilizes an M12x1.25 thread.
Because the piston area stays the same, output force equals a standard ACQ of this size, delivering 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa. The unit includes fixed elastomer bumpers for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions. It ships with a male M14x1.5 piston rod end for direct load coupling, and the body retains sensor grooves even 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.

If you need less push effort, the 32 mm bore yields 402.1 N at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to 50 mm provides 981.8 N. Choose this 40 mm option when your fixture requires roughly 628 N of thrust plus on-the-fly extension tuning. A fixed-stroke ACQ works fine if your end position never changes. Confirm ordering details including the 100 mm full stroke, 75 mm window, male rod thread, and port size PT1/8.
Quick checklist
It delivers 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 879.6 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The full stroke is 100 mm with a 75 mm adjustment window, yielding a usable extend range of 25-100 mm. The retract stroke is unaffected.
The external M12x1.25 threaded stop with lock nut limits only the extend distance, leaving force unchanged since piston area is identical to a standard ACQ. Fixed elastomer bumpers decelerate the rod near stroke ends. A plain ACQ will not hold a load on air loss; install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe positioning.
