The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X175-75SB 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 ACQJ40X175-75SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 175 mm stroke and an external extend stop. An M12x1.25 threaded adjuster with a lock nut lets you fine-tune the extend end position on the machine itself, yielding a usable forward range of 100-175 mm. The retract stroke remains completely unaffected by this mechanism.
Because the piston area stays constant, output force matches a standard ACQ exactly: 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa. This made-to-order variant uses the long-stroke range (up to 300 mm) to exceed the 100 mm standard maximum for this bore. It includes a male M14x1.5 rod end and a built-in piston magnet for position sensing.

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 CNC fixtures without machining new spacer blocks, accommodating multiple part lengths on the same tombstone.
Rapidly adjust the product pusher end-point during format size changes on a wrapping line, cutting setup time between different carton widths.
Test varying engagement depths on light assembly presses, finding the optimal end position mechanically before committing to a fixed stroke.
Choosing this 40 mm bore provides 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less force, stepping down to a 32 mm bore yields 402.1 N, while moving up to a 50 mm bore offers 981.8 N. A fixed-stroke ACQ is sufficient if your extend position never requires adjustment. Confirm your ordering essentials: 40 mm bore, 175 mm full stroke, 75 mm window, plus the S magnet and B male rod thread. Note that a plain compact cylinder drifts on air loss; add an external rod lock for fail-safe holding.
Quick checklist
It has a 175 mm full stroke with a 75 mm adjustable window, giving a usable extend range of 100-175 mm. 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 forward stroke; it changes stroke length only, not the force. The cylinder uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions. The built-in S magnet works with both reed and electronic solid-state switches.
