The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X125-30S 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 ACQJ40X125-30S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with an external threaded stop and lock nut that limits the extend end position. You can fine-tune the usable extend range from 95mm up to the full 125mm directly on the machine without swapping parts, while the retract stroke remains unaffected. This long-stroke made-to-order variant exceeds the 100mm standard maximum for this bore.
Because the adjuster alters only the travel length and not the piston area, the output force is identical to a standard ACQ of the same bore. It features a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end and an integrated piston magnet for position sensing. The Ø16mm piston rod uses a PT1/8 port and a female M8x1.25 rod-end 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 extend position of clamping arms on CNC fixtures during part-changeover without machining new spacers.
Adjust the extend endpoint on a packaging line to accommodate varying box heights on the fly.
Set trial end positions for pressing sub-components to verify depth before finalizing the mechanical stop.
When sizing this 40mm bore unit, note that a 32mm bore yields 402.1N push at 0.5MPa, while stepping up to a 50mm bore provides 981.8N. If your setup never requires altering the extend endpoint, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder is sufficient. To order, confirm the 40mm bore, 125mm full stroke, 30mm adjustment window, the -S magnet, and the female rod thread.
Quick checklist
The usable extend range is 95-125mm (the 125mm full stroke minus up to 30mm). Force equals a standard ACQ: 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 M12x1.25 threaded stop with lock nut limits only the extend stroke length; it does not change force or the fixed elastomer bumper. The -S magnet works with reed or solid-state switches, but note this cylinder will drift on air loss, so add an external rod lock for fail-safe holding.
