The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X125-10S 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 AirTAC ACQJ40X125-10S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with an external stroke adjuster. A threaded stop and lock nut restrict the extend end position, providing a usable extend range of 115-125 mm. The retract stroke remains unaffected. This unit is a long-stroke variant, exceeding the 100 mm standard maximum for this bore.
Piston area is unchanged, so force equals a standard ACQ: 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa. The body includes fixed elastomer bumpers at each end and built-in magnetic-switch grooves. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa, and the Ø16 mm rod features an M8x1.25 female thread.

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.

Dial in the exact 115-125 mm extend position during assembly press changeovers without machining new spacers or swapping cylinders.
Accommodate varying package heights on a sealing line by turning the external stop to set the precise rod extension for each format.
Establish trial end positions for a long-reach robotic gripper, testing reach distances on the equipment before locking the nut.
This 40 mm bore delivers 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa. Stepping down to a 32 mm bore yields 402.1 N, while moving up to a 50 mm bore provides 981.8 N. If your machine never requires end-position tuning, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder is sufficient. When ordering, verify the bore, 125 mm full stroke, 10 mm window, -S magnet, and female rod thread.
Quick checklist
The usable extend range is 115-125 mm (125 mm full stroke minus the 10 mm 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, and a maximum push of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The external M12x1.25 threaded stop limits the extend stroke length only, leaving the retract stroke unaffected. Deceleration is handled by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers, not an adjustable air cushion. The -S magnet works with reed or solid-state switches.
