The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X25-10 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø40mm bore and 25mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The AirTAC ACQJ40X25-10 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring an external extend stop. An M12x1.25 threaded adjuster with a lock nut lets you set the extend end position on the machine, yielding a usable extend range of 15-25 mm from the 25 mm full stroke. The retract stroke stays completely unaffected.
Because the piston area remains constant, output force is identical to a standard ACQ of the same bore, delivering 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa. The body includes fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration and features integrated sensor grooves, though this specific unit ships without a magnet. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa with a PT1/8 port.

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 setup requires less thrust, the ACQJ32 series provides 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the ACQJ50 bore yields 981.8 N for heavier loads. When exact end-position tuning is unnecessary, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder suffices. To order this adjustable variant correctly, confirm the 40 mm bore, 25 mm full stroke, 10 mm adjuster window, female M8x1.25 rod thread, and PT porting.
Quick checklist
The usable extend range is 15-25 mm (25 mm full stroke minus the 10 mm window). It delivers 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. The retract stroke remains fixed at 25 mm.
The M12x1.25 external threaded stop and lock nut limit the extend distance without changing the piston area, meaning force remains identical to a standard ACQ. Deceleration is handled by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers. The cylinder will not hold a load on air loss, so an external rod lock is needed for fail-safe holding.
