The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X35-30B 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 ACQJ40X35-30B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring an external threaded stop with a 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 without swapping parts, while the RETRACT stroke remains completely unaffected. The adjuster features an M12x1.25 thread.
Because the piston area is unchanged, force output is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore: 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa. This 40 mm bore unit uses a PT1/8 port, a Ø16 mm rod, and includes a male M14x1.5 rod-end thread (-B) for direct load coupling. It relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion.

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 extend stop from 5 to 35 mm on a CNC fixture to accommodate varying part thicknesses without machining new spacers.
Rapidly reposition the end-of-stroke limit during product family changeovers on an automated assembly press, saving setup minutes.
Test different extend end positions for a sealing or folding head on packaging equipment to find the optimal crimp depth.
For lower force needs, the 32 mm bore delivers 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa; for higher demands, the 50 mm bore provides 981.8 N. If your extend position never varies, a fixed-stroke ACQ is simpler. When ordering this adjustable version, confirm the 40 mm bore, 35 mm full stroke, 30 mm window, the male M14x1.5 rod thread (-B), and note this unit ships without a magnet (-S omitted).
Quick checklist
The usable extend range is 5-35 mm (full 35 mm stroke minus the 30 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, and a maximum push of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external M12x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut limits the extend stroke only; the retract stroke is unaffected and force is unchanged. The cylinder uses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for deceleration, not an adjustable air cushion. Note that a plain ACQ-type will not hold its load on air loss; use an external rod lock for fail-safe holding.
