The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X175-75B 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 ACQJ40X175-75B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with an external threaded stop and lock nut that limits the extend end position. The full stroke is 175 mm, and the -75 mm window allows you to fine-tune the usable extend range from 100 mm up to 175 mm directly on the machine. The retract stroke remains unaffected. Because the piston area is unchanged, the output force is identical to a standard ACQ of the same bore, delivering 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. This long-stroke made-to-order variant exceeds the 100 mm standard maximum for this bore size, featuring a 16 mm rod and a male M14x1.5 thread on the rod end to couple directly to your load.
This unit ships without a magnet, though the body retains magnetic-switch grooves for adding sensors later if needed. It uses a PT1/8 port and relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa, and the external adjuster utilizes an M12x1.25 thread. For high-speed or high-energy cycles, consider adding an external shock absorber or slowing the approach, as the fixed bumper only decelerates near the stroke end.

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 |

| 0.7 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.

When sizing this 40 mm bore cylinder, note the push force is 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa and 879.6 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum push of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Stepping down to a 32 mm bore yields 402.1 N of push force, while stepping up to a 50 mm bore provides 981.8 N, giving you distinct force tiers for your application. A standard fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder is sufficient if your extend end position never requires adjustment. To order this adjustable variant, confirm the 40 mm bore, the 175 mm full stroke, the 75 mm adjustable window, the male M14x1.5 rod thread, and the lack of a magnet. Keep in mind a plain ACQ-type does not hold its load on air loss or when a valve is centered; the rod drifts, so specify an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe holding.
Quick checklist
The usable extend range is 100-175 mm (a 175 mm full stroke shortened by up to a 75 mm window). The force is identical to a standard ACQ: 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 879.6 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external M12x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut limits the extend stroke length only; it does not alter the piston area, so the force remains unchanged. The retract stroke is unaffected. Deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end, not an adjustable air cushion.
