The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X25-10B 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 ACQJ40X25-10B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a male-thread piston rod end (M14x1.5) that couples directly to your load. An external M12x1.25 threaded stop and lock nut limits the extend end position, providing a usable extend range of 15-25 mm from the 25 mm full stroke. The retract stroke remains completely unaffected.
Because the adjuster alters stroke length only, the piston area stays the same, meaning force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore. The cylinder body includes sensor grooves for reed or solid-state switches, though this specific configuration ships without a magnet. It relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion.

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 |

| 0.7 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 extend stroke from 15 to 25 mm on a CNC machining fixture to accommodate varying raw part widths without swapping out the cylinder body.
Adjust the extend stop on a conveyor sorting diverter to handle different package sizes during production changeovers quickly and precisely.
Fine-tune the end position of a carton sealing tamp head within the 10 mm window to prevent crushing boxes of varying heights.
This 40 mm bore delivers 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, a 32 mm bore provides 402.1 N push, while stepping up to a 50 mm bore yields 981.8 N push. Choose this adjustable model when trial end positions or product-changeover stops require on-machine tuning; otherwise, a fixed-stroke ACQ suffices. Confirm your ordering essentials: 40 mm bore, 25 mm full stroke, 10 mm window, male rod thread (-B), and no magnet.
Quick checklist
It provides 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 full stroke is 25 mm with a 10 mm adjustable window, giving a usable extend range of 15-25 mm. The retract stroke is unaffected, and force remains identical to a standard ACQ of the same bore.
An external M12x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut mechanically limits the extend stroke, allowing you to shorten it without changing parts. This mechanism changes stroke length only, so output force is unchanged. The cylinder uses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion, so external shock absorbers may be needed for high-energy loads.
