The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X300-30B 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 ACQJ40X300-30B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with an external stop mechanism for on-machine extend tuning. It features a 300mm full stroke and a 30mm adjustment window, allowing the outward travel to be set anywhere from 270mm up to 300mm. The return stroke remains completely unaffected. This long-stroke made-to-order variant exceeds the standard 100mm maximum for this bore size.
Output force matches a standard ACQ because the adjuster alters travel length rather than piston area, delivering 628.3N push at 0.5MPa. The unit incorporates a male M14x1.5 piston rod end for direct load coupling and a PT1/8 port. Fixed elastomer bumpers handle end-of-travel deceleration, while the body retains sensor grooves even though this specific SKU ships without a magnet.

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 exact extend position of clamping arms on a CNC machining center during setup, accommodating different part lengths without swapping hardware.
Adjust the pusher stroke on packaging lines to route varying carton sizes, ensuring precise alignment without reprogramming machine logic.
Fine-tune the engagement depth of pressing tools on automated assembly equipment during product changeover to prevent over-travel damage.
For sizing context, dropping to a 32mm bore yields 402.1N push, whereas stepping up to 50mm provides 981.8N at 0.5MPa. If your application never requires altering the extend endpoint, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder is sufficient. When ordering, verify the 40mm bore, 300mm full stroke, 30mm window, the male rod thread option, and the absence of a magnet.
Quick checklist
The usable extend range is 270-300mm (300mm full stroke minus the 30mm window). It delivers 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 external adjuster utilizes an M12x1.25 thread.
No, output force is identical to a standard ACQ because the mechanism limits travel length without changing piston area. Fixed elastomer bumpers decelerate the rod near the endpoints. Note that this model lacks a sensor magnet, and a plain ACQ will drift on air loss, requiring an external rod lock for fail-safe holding.
