The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X35-40 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 ACQJ40X35-40 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring an external threaded stop with a lock nut that limits the extend end position. You get a usable extend range of 0-35 mm, achieved by shortening the 35 mm full stroke by up to 40 mm. The retract movement remains completely unaffected. Because the piston area stays constant, output force equals a standard ACQ, delivering 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa.
This unit features a 16 mm piston rod, a PT1/8 port, and a female M8x1.25 rod-end thread. The adjuster utilizes an M12x1.25 external thread. It includes a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion. The body retains 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 |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 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.

Test and set trial end positions for pressing sub-components safely before finalizing the mechanical stop distance.
If you need slightly less thrust, the 32 mm bore yields 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the 50 mm bore provides 981.8 N. A fixed-stroke ACQ is sufficient if your extend position never requires tweaking. When ordering, verify the 40 mm bore, 35 mm full stroke, 40 mm window, female rod thread, and whether you need the -S magnet option.
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 40 mm window, allowing an adjustable usable extend range of 0-35 mm.
The M12x1.25 external threaded stop only changes the extend stroke length, leaving force identical to a standard ACQ. Deceleration relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end, not an adjustable air cushion, so external shock absorbers are recommended for high-energy loads.
