The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X200-100SB 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 ACQJ40X200-100SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with a 200 mm full stroke, built as a long-stroke made-to-order variant exceeding the 100 mm standard maximum for this bore. An external M12x1.25 threaded stop and lock nut restricts the outward travel, creating a usable extend range of 100-200 mm. The return stroke remains completely unaffected by this adjustment.
Because the piston area stays constant, output force is identical to a standard ACQ of the same size. You get 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 879.6 N push at 0.7 MPa. The unit includes a male M14x1.5 rod end for direct load coupling, a PT1/8 port, and an internal magnet for position sensing. Fixed NBR elastomer bumpers handle end-of-trroke 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.

For sizing context, stepping down to a 32 mm bore drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 402.1 N, while moving up to a 50 mm bore increases it to 981.8 N. If your application never requires altering the end position after installation, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder is sufficient. When ordering this adjustable version, confirm the 40 mm bore, 200 mm full stroke, 100 mm window, the -S magnet, and the -B male rod thread.
Quick checklist
It delivers 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 879.6 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum push of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The usable extend range is 100-200 mm, achieved by shortening the 200 mm full stroke by up to a 100 mm window.
The external M12x1.25 adjuster only changes the extend length, leaving piston area and force unchanged versus a standard ACQ. Fixed NBR elastomer bumpers decelerate the load at stroke ends, and the -S magnet works with reed or solid-state switches. Note that a plain compact cylinder drifts on air loss, so use an external rod lock for fail-safe holding.
