The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X200-100B is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø40mm bore and 200mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The AirTAC ACQJ40X200-100B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with a 200mm full stroke and a male-thread piston rod end (M14x1.5). An external M12x1.25 threaded stop and lock nut restricts the extend travel, yielding a usable forward range of 100-200mm. The return stroke remains fixed at its original length. This unit is a long-stroke made-to-order variant, as 200mm exceeds the 100mm standard maximum for this 40mm bore.
Output force is identical to a standard ACQ of the same bore, delivering 628.3N push and 527.8N pull at 0.5MPa. The adjuster alters only the travel distance, not the piston area. Deceleration relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end rather than an adjustable air cushion. While this specific SKU ships without a magnet, the body retains sensor grooves for adding reed or solid-state switches if needed later.

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 100-200mm extend position for varying raw material lengths on a CNC lathe without machining custom stop blocks.
Rapidly adapt the pusher end-stop on a packaging line when switching between different box formats, using the external lock nut.
Test multiple pressing depths on an assembly rig by turning the M12x1.25 adjuster, finding the optimal travel before finalizing the mechanical setup.
When sizing this 40mm bore, dropping to a 32mm version lowers the 0.5MPa push force to 402.1N, while stepping up to a 50mm bore raises it to 981.8N. If your equipment never requires shifting the end position, a fixed-stroke ACQ40X200 will execute the same work more economically. To order correctly, confirm the 40mm bore, 200mm full travel, 100mm window, the male M14x1.5 rod thread, and the absence of a magnet. Remember that a plain ACQ will drift and lose its position if air pressure drops; utilize an external rod lock for fail-safe holding.
Quick checklist
This 40mm bore cylinder provides 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 100mm window allows the extend stroke to be fine-tuned within a 100-200mm usable range.
The external threaded stop limits how far the rod extends without changing the piston area, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. Deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper at each end, not an adjustable air cushion. The retract stroke is completely unaffected by the extend stop.
