The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X15-10SB is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø40mm bore and 15mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The AirTAC ACQJ40X15-10SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with a 40mm bore and a 15mm full stroke. An external threaded stop with a lock nut limits the extend end position, providing a usable extend range of 5-15mm. The retract stroke remains unaffected by this mechanism. Because the piston area is unchanged, the force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore, delivering 628.3N push and 527.8N pull at 0.5 MPa.
This model includes the -S magnet for compatibility with reed or solid-state switches, and the -B male rod-end thread (M14x1.5) for direct load coupling. It features a fixed elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion. The standard PT1/8 port and 16mm piston rod ensure robust pneumatic performance within a compact riveted body design.

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.

Set experimental extend limits safely during machine prototyping to verify travel before finalizing hard stops.
At 0.5 MPa, this 40mm bore provides 628.3N push force. Stepping down to a 32mm bore yields 402.1N push, while moving up to a 50mm bore offers 981.8N. If your application requires a fixed extend position every cycle without tuning, a standard ACQ40X15 cylinder will suffice. When ordering this adjustable unit, confirm the 40mm bore, 15mm full stroke, 10mm adjustment window, the required -S magnet, and the -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 15mm with a 10mm adjustment window, allowing a usable extend range of 5-15mm.
An M12x1.25 external threaded stop with a lock nut limits the extend stroke length only. It does not change the piston area, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. The retract stroke is unaffected, and fixed elastomer bumpers handle deceleration at both ends.
