Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X60-10S
The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X60-10S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø40mm bore and 60mm 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 ACQJ40X60-10S
The AirTAC ACQJ40X60-10S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with a 60mm full stroke and a 10mm adjustable extend window, allowing you to set the forward end position anywhere between 50mm and 60mm. An external M12x1.25 threaded stop and lock nut handles this on-machine fine-tuning, meaning you can dial in the forward travel without swapping out parts. The retract stroke remains fixed at its standard length.
Because the piston area is untouched, output force stays identical to a standard ACQ of this bore: 628.3N push and 527.8N pull at 0.5MPa. The body uses a compact C-clip design with a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration. This -S variant includes a piston magnet for position sensing, compatible with reed or solid-state switches.

| Series | ACQJ JIS compact adjustable-stroke cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø40 mm |
| Full stroke | 60 mm |
| Adjuster thread | M12×1.25 |
| Port size | PT1/8 |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.15 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 30 – 500 mm/s |
| 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 ACQJ40X60-10S Is Used
Machining Fixture Clamps
Dial in the exact clamping reach on a CNC machining center to accommodate raw part tolerances, using the external stop to prevent over-travel and workpiece deformation.
Carton Forming Stops
Adjust the folding flap engagement depth on a packaging line during product size changeovers, ensuring crisp box folds without replacing the cylinder.
Assembly Press Positioning
Set trial end positions for pressing bearings or pins on an automated assembly line, allowing operators to tweak the 50-60mm insertion depth on the fly.
Is the Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X60-10S the Right Cylinder?
If your application only requires a fixed 60mm forward movement, a standard ACQ40X60 cylinder is sufficient and more cost-effective. Choose this ACQJ40X60-10S model when your setup demands a variable forward end-stop within a 50 to 60mm range. For higher force needs, stepping up to a 50mm bore yields 981.8N push at 0.5MPa, while dropping to a 32mm bore provides 402.1N. When ordering, confirm the 40mm bore, 60mm full stroke, 10mm window, the -S magnet option, and the default female M8x1.25 rod-end 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 ACQJ40X60-10S FAQ
The usable extend range is 50-60mm (60mm full stroke minus the 10mm window). Force is identical to a standard ACQ40: 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.
An external M12x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut limits the forward extension, leaving the retract stroke unaffected. The cylinder relies on a fixed elastomer bumper for deceleration and does not have adjustable air cushions. The included -S magnet works with reed or electronic solid-state switches for position feedback.
