The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X200-40S 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 ACQJ40X200-40S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with an external M12x1.25 threaded stop and lock nut that limits the extend stroke. You get a usable extension range of 160 to 200 mm, while the retract distance remains completely unaffected. Because the piston area stays the same, force equals a standard ACQ of this bore: 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa.
This long-stroke made-to-order variant exceeds the 100 mm standard maximum for a 40 mm bore. It features a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for deceleration and a built-in piston magnet for position sensing. The -S magnet is fully compatible with both reed and electronic solid-state switches.

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.

If your application needs less push force, the 32 mm bore provides 402.1 N at 0.5 MPa; for heavier loads, the 50 mm bore yields 981.8 N. A fixed-stroke ACQ is sufficient if your end position never requires tweaking. To order, confirm the 40 mm bore, 200 mm full stroke, 40 mm adjustment window, S magnet, and female M8x1.25 rod thread.
Quick checklist
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 128 kgf max push at 1.0 MPa. The full stroke is 200 mm with a 40 mm window, giving an adjustable extend range of 160 to 200 mm.
An external M12x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut limits the extend distance without changing the piston area or force. Retract remains unaffected. Deceleration is handled by a fixed elastomer bumper, not an adjustable air cushion; for high energy loads, use an external shock absorber.
