The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X35-40B 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 ACQJ40X35-40B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring an external threaded stop with a lock nut that limits the extend end position. With a full stroke of 35mm and a 40mm adjustment window, the usable extend range runs from 0mm up to 35mm. The retract stroke remains completely unaffected by this mechanism.
Because the piston area is unchanged, the output force is identical to a standard ACQ of the same bore. The 40mm bore delivers 628.3N push and 527.8N pull at 0.5MPa. This variant includes a male M14x1.5 rod-end thread for direct load coupling, fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends, and an M12x1.25 adjuster thread.

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 position for varying part sizes on a CNC lathe without machining custom spacers.
Rapidly reposition a product reject arm during format changes by turning the external stop screw.
Fine-tune the extend limit on a folding mechanism to accommodate different box heights on the fly.
When sizing this unit, the adjacent 32mm bore yields 402.1N push at 0.5MPa, while the 50mm bore provides 981.8N push at 0.5MPa. If your machine never requires end-position tuning, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder will suffice. To order, confirm the 40mm bore, 35mm full stroke, 40mm window, the male M14x1.5 rod thread, and whether a -S magnet is needed for sensor grooves.
Quick checklist
It provides 628.3N push and 527.8N pull at 0.5MPa, 879.6N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum push of 128kgf at 1.0MPa. The usable extend range is 0-35mm via a 40mm window. The piston rod is 16mm with a male M14x1.5 thread, and the external adjuster thread is M12x1.25.
The adjuster only changes the extend stroke length, so the force remains identical to a standard ACQ. Fixed NBR elastomer bumpers decelerate the load near stroke ends, but this cylinder does not hold its load on air loss; for a fail-safe hold, use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
