The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X300-75 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 ACQJ40X300-75 is a double-acting, single-rod JIS compact cylinder engineered as a long-stroke, made-to-order variant. It features an external threaded stop with a lock nut on the extend side, allowing you to fine-tune the usable extend range from 225 mm up to the full 300 mm directly on your equipment. The retract stroke remains completely unaffected by this adjustment.
Because the piston area is unchanged, output force stays identical to a standard ACQ of the same bore, delivering 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa. The unit incorporates a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration and features sensor grooves, though this specific configuration ships without a magnet. Operating pressure spans 0.15 to 1.0 MPa.

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 225 to 300 mm when changing part depths on a CNC lathe, avoiding custom spacer rings.
Adjust the pusher end position on the fly to accommodate varying carton sizes without swapping out the entire actuator assembly.
Test multiple engagement depths on an automated press, relying on the fixed NBR bumper to absorb the 879.6 N force at 0.7 MPa.
When sizing this unit, consider the 628.3 N push force at 0.5 MPa; if your application requires less thrust, the ACQJ32 bore offers 402.1 N, while stepping up to the ACQJ50 yields 981.8 N. If exact end-position tuning is unnecessary, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder will suffice. For ordering, confirm the 40 mm bore, 300 mm full stroke, 75 mm adjustable window, female rod-end thread (M8x1.25), and the absence of a magnet. Remember that a plain compact cylinder does not hold its load on air loss; for fail-safe holding, specify an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
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 300 mm, but the external M12x1.25 adjuster allows you to shorten the extend stroke by up to 75 mm, yielding a usable extend range of 225-300 mm.
No, the force remains identical to a standard ACQ because the adjuster only limits travel, not piston area. Deceleration is handled by a fixed elastomer bumper at each end, not an adjustable air cushion; for high-speed or high-energy loads, add an external shock absorber or slow the approach.
