The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X35-30S 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 ACQJ40X35-30S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with an external threaded stop and lock nut that limits the extend end position. You can fine-tune the usable extend stroke from 5 mm up to the full 35 mm directly on the machine, while the retract stroke remains unaffected. Because the piston area stays the same, the output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore.
This bore 40 unit features a 16 mm piston rod, PT1/8 port, and an M12x1.25 adjuster thread. It includes a fixed elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration and a built-in piston magnet (-S) for position sensing. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, with a speed capability of 30-500 mm/s.

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 position from 5 to 35 mm on CNC machining fixtures to accommodate varying raw material lengths without swapping cylinder parts.
Adjust the extend end stop on packaging line guide rails during format changeovers to hit exact product dimensions rapidly.
Set experimental extend endpoints on testing rigs to find the optimal pressing distance before locking the external nut down.
This 40 mm bore provides 628.3 N push force at 0.5 MPa. If your application needs less force, the 32 mm bore yields 402.1 N push, or for heavier loads, the 50 mm bore provides 981.8 N. A fixed-stroke ACQ is sufficient if your end position never varies, but choose this ACQJ model if setup-varying fixtures require on-the-fly adjustments. When ordering, confirm the 35 mm full stroke, 30 mm window, S magnet option, and the default female M8x1.25 rod-end thread.
Quick checklist
The usable extend range is 5-35 mm (35 mm full 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 length, changing stroke length only without reducing piston force. The cylinder uses a fixed elastomer bumper at each end for deceleration, and the -S magnet works with reed or solid-state switches for position sensing.
