The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X70-10S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø40mm bore and 70mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The AirTAC ACQJ40X70-10S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring an external threaded stop with a lock nut that limits the extend end position. You can fine-tune the usable extend range from 60 to 70 mm directly on your machinery without swapping parts, while the retract stroke remains completely unaffected. Driven by a 40 mm bore, it delivers a push force of 628.3 N and a pull force of 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa.
Because the adjuster alters stroke length only, the piston area stays the same, meaning output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore. This unit includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) compatible with reed or electronic solid-state switches. It utilizes a 16 mm rod with an M8x1.25 female rod-end thread, a PT1/8 port, and fixed elastomer NBR bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration.

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 60 to 70 mm extend position on a CNC machining fixture to accommodate varying raw casting lengths without fabricating new mechanical stops.
Rapidly adjust the end-of-stroke position during packaging line product changeovers, utilizing the M12x1.25 external adjuster to set precise carton forming limits.
Establish optimal trial end positions for pressing bearings on an assembly line, safely testing different extend depths before locking down the final stroke.
Selecting this 40 mm bore actuator provides a 628.3 N push force at 0.5 MPa, sitting between the smaller 32 mm bore (402.1 N push) and the larger 50 mm bore (981.8 N push). If your application never requires end-position adjustments, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder will achieve the same holding force. When ordering this adjustable variant, confirm the 70 mm full stroke, the 10 mm adjustment window, the required -S magnet for sensing, and the M8x1.25 female rod thread.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 628.3 N and the pull force is 527.8 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 879.6 N, with a maximum push of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The full stroke is 70 mm with a 10 mm adjustment window, yielding a usable extend range of 60 to 70 mm.
The external M12x1.25 threaded stop and lock nut physically limit how far the rod extends, shortening the stroke without changing the piston area, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. The cylinder relies on fixed elastomer NBR bumpers at each end for deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions.
