The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X300-50SB 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 ACQJ40X300-50SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder engineered as a long-stroke, made-to-order variant with an adjustable extend end position. It features a 40mm bore and a 300mm full stroke. An external threaded stop with a lock nut permits on-machine extend stroke tuning, yielding a usable forward range of 250 to 300mm. The retract distance remains completely unaffected by this mechanism.
Because the piston area is unchanged, the output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore, delivering 628.3N push at 0.5MPa. The unit incorporates a male M14x1.5 rod end coupling directly to your load, a built-in magnet for electronic or reed switches, and fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end. Operating pressure spans 0.15 to 1.0MPa.

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 250-300mm extend end position for a press fixture without machining new spacers during product changeovers.
Fine-tune the actuation reach on a wide conveyor line where the full 300mm stroke needs occasional short-trial limiting.
Adjust the forward probe depth on an assembly machine quickly on-site, utilizing the male M14x1.5 thread for direct mounting.
This 40mm bore long-stroke variant delivers 628.3N push at 0.5MPa, sitting between the 32mm bore (402.1N push) and the 50mm bore (981.8N push). If your setup requires a fixed forward reach without end-position tuning, a standard ACQ cylinder suffices. When ordering this adjustable unit, verify the 40mm bore, 300mm full stroke, 50mm window, male M14x1.5 rod thread, and the integrated magnet.
Quick checklist
It 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 full forward stroke is 300mm, but the external M12x1.25 adjuster allows you to shorten the extend range to anywhere between 250 and 300mm.
The external threaded stop alters only the extend distance, meaning the output force remains identical to a standard ACQ. The cylinder uses fixed elastomer bumpers rather than adjustable air cushions. Note that a plain ACQ-type does not hold its load on air loss; for a fail-safe hold, utilize an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
