The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X150-10 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø40mm bore and 150mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The AirTAC ACQJ40X150-10 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder built for applications requiring precise extend-position tuning. It features a 150mm stroke and an external threaded stop with a lock nut, allowing you to fine-tune the extend length down by 10mm. This provides a usable extend range of 140 to 150mm, while the retract stroke remains completely unaffected. As a long-stroke made-to-order variant, it exceeds the standard 100mm maximum for this bore.
Because the adjustment only limits travel and not piston area, output force stays identical to a standard ACQ. At 0.5MPa it delivers 628.3N of push and 527.8N of pull. The body incorporates sensor grooves for reed or solid-state switches, though this specific SKU ships without a magnet. Deceleration relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end rather than an adjustable air cushion.

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 trial end positions for pressing bearings to precise depths without swapping the actuator.
Selecting this 40mm bore unit involves weighing its 628.3N push force at 0.5MPa against the 402.1N of a 32mm bore, or stepping up to a 50mm bore for 981.8N. If your extend position never varies, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder is simpler and more cost-effective. When ordering, confirm the 150mm full stroke, the 10mm window, the female M8x1.25 rod-end thread, and the PT1/8 port. Remember to add the -S magnet option if you need electronic or reed switch detection.
Quick checklist
This model provides a usable extend range of 140-150mm via its 10mm window. It outputs 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.
An external M12x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut limits the extend travel without altering piston area, so force remains unchanged. Fixed elastomer bumpers handle end-of-stroke deceleration. Note that a plain ACQ-type cylinder will drift and cannot hold a load on air loss; use an external rod lock for fail-safe holding.
