The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X150-30S 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 ACQJ40X150-30S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with a 150mm stroke and an external extend stop. A threaded adjuster with a lock nut lets you set the extend end position anywhere in the 120 to 150mm range on the machine, while the retract stroke remains unaffected. This 40mm bore generates 628.3N push and 527.8N pull at 0.5MPa, matching standard ACQ output exactly because the piston area is unchanged.
This unit features a -S piston magnet compatible with reed or solid-state switches, operating at 30-500mm/s. It is a long-stroke made-to-order variant, exceeding the 100mm standard maximum for this bore. The body uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end for deceleration, meaning external shock absorbers are recommended for high-energy loads.

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 clamping reach on a CNC lathe during setup, shortening the extend up to 30mm to accommodate different raw material lengths without swapping actuators.
Rapidly reposition the product pusher end stop for new carton sizes on a filling line, using the external M12x1.25 adjuster to hit the precise 120-150mm ejection point.
Test and set trial end positions for pressing bearings on an automated line, fine-tuning the stroke depth on the equipment while maintaining the full 628.3N clamping force.
Selecting this 40mm bore actuator involves balancing force and reach: it yields 628.3N push at 0.5MPa, sitting between the 32mm bore (402.1N push) and the 50mm bore (981.8N push). If your extend endpoint never varies, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder provides the same power without the adjuster. When ordering, confirm the 150mm stroke, 30mm adjustment window, PT1/8 port, M8x1.25 female rod thread, and the required -S magnet.
Quick checklist
This 40mm bore cylinder has a 150mm stroke with a 30mm adjustable window, giving a usable extend range of 120-150mm. 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 force is identical to a standard ACQ because the adjuster only limits stroke length.
An external threaded stop with a lock nut limits the extend stroke, leaving the retract stroke unaffected. It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions, so external shock absorbers are advised for high-speed loads. The -S magnet works with reed or electronic switches for position sensing.
