The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X300-75SB 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 ACQJ40X300-75SB is a double-acting, single-rod JIS compact cylinder built for long-stroke, made-to-order applications. An external threaded stop with a lock nut limits the EXTEND end position, giving a usable extend range of 225-300 mm (full 300 mm stroke minus up to a 75 mm window). The RETRACT stroke remains completely unaffected. Because the piston area stays the same, the output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore.
This model features a 16 mm piston rod and a male-thread (M14x1.5) rod end (-B) that couples directly to your load. The -S option provides a built-in piston magnet compatible with reed or electronic (solid-state) switches. Deceleration relies on a fixed elastomer (NBR) bumper at each end rather than an adjustable air cushion. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a PT1/8 port.

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 precisely when machining fixtures require different reach lengths without swapping out the entire cylinder body.
Adapt automated assembly lines quickly by turning the external M12x1.25 adjuster to meet new product dimensions on the fly.
Test and establish optimal end positions on prototype machinery, locking the nut once the perfect 225 to 300 mm extension is found.
Selecting this 40 mm bore unit provides 628.3 N push force at 0.5 MPa. If your setup requires less power, the 32 mm bore yields 402.1 N push; for heavier demands, the 50 mm bore offers 981.8 N. A fixed-stroke ACQ is sufficient if your end position never varies. When ordering, confirm the 40 mm bore, 300 mm full stroke, 75 mm adjuster window, S magnet, and B male rod thread. Note that 300 mm exceeds the 100 mm standard max stroke for this bore, making it a long-stroke variant.
Quick checklist
The usable extend range is 225-300 mm via a 75 mm window. Force is identical to a standard ACQ: 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 879.6 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum push of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The retract stroke is unaffected.
The external M12x1.25 threaded stop and lock nut limit the extend length only, leaving force unchanged. Deceleration uses fixed NBR bumpers, not adjustable air cushions. A plain ACQ does not hold its load on air loss; for fail-safe holding, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
