The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X300-40S 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 ACQJ40X300-40S is a double-acting, single-rod JIS compact cylinder built for specialized long-stroke applications, featuring a 300mm total stroke that exceeds the standard 100mm maximum for this bore. It integrates an external threaded stop with a lock nut, allowing you to fine-tune the extend end position directly on your equipment. The usable extend range spans 260mm up to the full 300mm, while the retract stroke remains completely unaffected.
Because the adjustment mechanism only limits travel length and leaves piston area untouched, output force is identical to a standard ACQ of the same bore. You get 628.3N push and 527.8N pull at 0.5MPa, and 879.6N push at 0.7MPa. The Ø16mm piston rod utilizes a female M8x1.25 thread, and the body includes fixed elastomer bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions.

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 between 260mm and 300mm to accommodate different raw casting lengths on a single CNC lathe without machining custom spacer blocks.
Adjust the routing arm's end position on-site to handle varying box widths on a packaging line, ensuring positive stops without reprogramming PLC coordinates.
Utilize the 300mm travel to extract deep-draw parts from a hydraulic press, tweaking the final ejection point by up to 40mm to clear new die geometries.
For sizing context, stepping down to a 32mm bore yields 402.1N push at 0.5MPa, while stepping up to a 50mm bore provides 981.8N push. If your application requires a fixed extend position every cycle and never varies, a standard ACQ40 cylinder will suffice. When ordering, confirm the 40mm bore, 300mm full stroke, 40mm adjustable window, the -S magnet option, and your required rod-end thread type.
Quick checklist
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 full stroke is 300mm, and the external M12x1.25 adjuster allows the extend stroke to be shortened by up to 40mm, yielding a usable extend range of 260-300mm.
No, the external stop only limits how far the rod extends; it does not alter piston area, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ40. End-of-travel deceleration is handled by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends, not adjustable air cushions, so external shock absorbers may be needed for high-energy loads.
