The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X175-100SB is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø40mm bore and 175mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The AirTAC ACQJ40X175-100SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with an external extend stop. A threaded rod and lock nut limit the outward stroke, giving a usable extend range of 75-175mm from the 175mm full stroke. Retract travel remains fixed. Because the piston area is unchanged, force output matches a standard ACQ exactly.
This long-stroke made-to-order variant exceeds the 100mm standard maximum for bore 40. It includes a male M14x1.5 rod end (-B) for direct load coupling and a piston magnet (-S) for position sensing. The body uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions.

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 extension on a CNC milling fixture during setup. The external stop lets operators shift the end position for different raw material thicknesses without machining new spacers.
Adjust the press depth when switching between product variants on an automated assembly line. The 75-175mm range provides flexibility for varying component heights during production runs.
Modify the flap folding position on a packaging machine. The lock nut secures the adjusted extend position against vibration, ensuring consistent carton alignment during format size changes.
Selecting this 40mm bore yields a push force of 628.3N and a pull force of 527.8N at 0.5MPa. If your application needs less force, a 32mm bore provides 402.1N push; if you need more, a 50mm bore offers 981.8N. A fixed-stroke ACQ is sufficient if your end position never varies. When ordering, confirm the 175mm full stroke, 100mm window, PT1/8 port, M14x1.5 male rod thread, and the -S magnet requirement.
Quick checklist
The usable extend range is 75-175mm (175mm full stroke minus the 100mm window). The retract stroke is unaffected. Force output equals a standard ACQ: push is 628.3N and pull is 527.8N at 0.5MPa, push is 879.6N at 0.7MPa, and maximum push is 128kgf at 1.0MPa. The adjuster thread is M12x1.25.
No, the external stop alters stroke length only, leaving piston area and force identical to a standard ACQ. Deceleration is handled by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends, not adjustable air cushions. For high kinetic energy loads, add an external shock absorber. The -S magnet works with reed or electronic solid-state switches.
