The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X125-100S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø40mm bore and 125mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The ACQJ40X125-100S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring an external adjuster screw and lock nut that limits the extend travel. With a full 125mm stroke and a 100mm reduction window, the usable extend range spans 25 to 125mm. Retract distance remains fixed. This long-stroke configuration exceeds the 100mm standard maximum for this 40mm bore, making it a made-to-order item.
Output force stays identical to a standard ACQ of equal bore because the piston area is unchanged by the stopper. The unit pushes 628.3N and pulls 527.8N at 0.5MPa. It includes a 16mm rod, a female M8x1.25 rod-end thread, and an M12x1.25 external adjuster thread. Fixed NBR elastomer bumpers absorb impact at both ends, and the -S magnet enables tracking via reed or solid-state sensors.

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.

Test multiple engagement depths on an electronic board press by adjusting the external M12x1.25 threaded stop on the machine.
For lower force needs, the 32mm bore yields 402.1N push at 0.5MPa, whereas stepping up to a 50mm bore provides 981.8N. Choose this 40mm unit when your setup requires roughly 628.3N of push force and on-the-fly extend shortening. If your end position never varies, a fixed-stroke ACQ40X125 is simpler. Confirm your ordering essentials: 40mm bore, 125mm full stroke, 100mm window, magnet S, and female rod thread.
Quick checklist
It delivers 628.3N push and 527.8N pull at 0.5MPa, 879.6N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum push of 128kgf at 1.0MPa. The full stroke is 125mm with a 100mm window, giving a usable extend range of 25-125mm. Retract travel is unaffected.
An external M12x1.25 threaded screw with a lock nut limits extend travel, allowing on-site tuning without replacing parts. The adjustment alters stroke length only, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ40. Fixed elastomer bumpers handle end-of-stroke deceleration, and the -S magnet works with reed or solid-state switches.
