Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X5-10S
The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X5-10S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø40mm bore and 5mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.

About the Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X5-10S
The AirTAC ACQJ40X5-10S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with an external threaded stop and lock nut that limits the extend end position. With a 5mm full stroke and a 10mm adjustment window, the usable extend range is 0-5mm. The retract stroke remains unaffected by this mechanism. Because the piston area is unchanged, the output force is identical to a standard ACQ of the same bore.
This bore 40mm unit delivers 628.3N push and 527.8N pull at 0.5MPa. It features a fixed elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration, and the included -S piston magnet works with reed or electronic solid-state switches. The piston rod measures 16mm with a female M8x1.25 rod-end thread, and the external adjuster utilizes an M12x1.25 thread.

| Rod thread | M8×1.25 (F) / M14×1.5 (B) |
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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø40mm)
| 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.

Where the Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X5-10S Is Used
Short-Stroke Clamping
Dial in precise 0-5mm clamping contact on machined parts without swapping physical spacers on the fixture plate.
Product Changeover
Adapt end positions rapidly on a packaging line when shifting between slightly different carton depths or product heights.
Prototype Positioning
Establish optimal trial end stops on new assembly machinery during R&D runs before finalizing hard mechanical stops.
Is the Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X5-10S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, consider the neighbouring bores: a 32mm bore provides 402.1N push at 0.5MPa, while a 50mm bore yields 981.8N. This 40mm option provides 628.3N push, striking a balance for medium-duty tasks. If your application never requires altering the extend position, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder will suffice. To order this adjustable version, confirm the 40mm bore, 5mm full stroke, 10mm window, the -S magnet, and the female rod thread.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Need on-machine end-position tuning?
- ✓ Full stroke and adjust window (mm)
- ✓ Force at your working pressure
- ✓ Magnet (S) for sensors?
- ✓ Female (blank) or male (B) rod thread
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Lock the adjuster nut after setting the stop.
- check The stop limits the EXTEND stroke only.
- check Avoid side load on the short piston rod.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X5-10S FAQ
This cylinder 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 5mm full stroke has a 10mm window, allowing a usable extend range of 0-5mm. The retract stroke is unaffected.
The external M12x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut mechanically limits the extend length, meaning the output force remains identical to a standard ACQ because the piston area is unchanged. The unit relies on a fixed elastomer bumper at each end for deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion.
