The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X35-30 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø40mm bore and 35mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The AirTAC ACQJ40X35-30 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring an external threaded stop and lock nut that limits the extend end position. You can fine-tune the usable extend range from 5 mm up to the full 35 mm directly on the machine, while 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 bore 40 unit delivers 628.3 N push force at 0.5 MPa and incorporates a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration. It uses a PT1/8 port, a 16 mm rod, and an M12x1.25 adjuster thread. The body includes magnetic-switch grooves, though this specific configuration 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 |

| 0.7 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 clamping reach on a CNC fixture by adjusting the extend stop, accommodating different raw material thicknesses without swapping cylinder parts.
Modify product flow diverter positions rapidly during a production run shift, using the external stop to set new end positions for varying package sizes.
Test prototype actuation distances on a new automated press, safely limiting the extend stroke to 5 mm initially before extending it out to the full 35 mm.
Choosing a bore 40 cylinder provides 628.3 N push force at 0.5 MPa, sitting between the 402.1 N of a bore 32 and the 981.8 N of a bore 50. If your application requires a fixed extend length that never varies, a standard ACQ cylinder will suffice. When ordering, confirm the 40 mm bore, 35 mm full stroke, 30 mm adjustable window, female rod-end thread M8x1.25, and whether you need the S magnet option for sensing.
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 35 mm with a 30 mm window, yielding a usable extend range of 5-35 mm.
The external M12x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut mechanically limits how far the rod extends, shortening the stroke length only. It does not alter the piston area, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. The unit relies on fixed elastomer bumpers for deceleration and does not hold the load on air loss.
