The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X300-100 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø40mm bore and 300mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The AirTAC ACQJ40X300-100 is a double-acting, single-rod JIS compact cylinder built for specialized long-stroke applications. Featuring a 40mm bore and a 300mm total stroke, this made-to-order variant extends past the 100mm standard maximum. An external threaded stop with a lock nut restricts the extend end position, yielding a usable forward travel range of 200 to 300mm. The retract movement remains completely unaffected by this mechanism.
Because the piston area is unchanged, output force matches a standard ACQ exactly, delivering 628.3N push and 527.8N pull at 0.5MPa. The unit relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion. Sensor grooves are integrated into the body, though this specific configuration ships without a magnet. The PT1/8 port and Ø16mm rod ensure robust pneumatic performance.

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 extend stop from 200 to 300mm on CNC fixtures to accommodate varying raw material lengths without fabricating new mechanical hard stops.
Fine-tune the actuation end point on the fly to alter package routing distances, ensuring proper handoff to downstream labeling machinery.
Establish trial end positions for pressing operations across multiple product variants, relying on the fixed NBR bumper to absorb end impacts.
Selecting this bore yields 879.6N of thrust at 0.7MPa. If your task requires less power, dropping to a 32mm bore provides 402.1N push at 0.5MPa, whereas scaling up to a 50mm bore offers 981.8N. A standard fixed-stroke ACQ is sufficient if your end position never varies. When ordering, confirm the 40mm bore, 300mm full stroke, 100mm adjuster window, female M8x1.25 rod thread, and whether you need the S magnet option for electronic or reed switch sensing.
Quick checklist
This long-stroke 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 total stroke is 300mm, but the external adjuster allows you to shorten the extend travel by up to 100mm, giving a usable extend range of 200 to 300mm.
The adjuster only limits forward travel; it does not alter piston area, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. Deceleration is managed by a fixed elastomer bumper at each end. For high-speed or heavy loads, an external shock absorber is recommended, and a separate rod lock is needed to hold loads on air loss.
