The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X70-20SB 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 ACQJ40X70-20SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with an external threaded stop and lock nut that limits the extend end position. You get a usable extend range of 50-70 mm from the 70 mm full stroke, while the retract stroke remains unaffected. This enables on-machine end-position tuning without swapping parts.
Because the piston area is unchanged, force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore, delivering 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa. The unit includes a male M14x1.5 rod-end thread, a PT1/8 port, and a built-in piston magnet. Fixed elastomer bumpers handle 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 clamping reach on a CNC fixture by turning the external stop, accommodating raw part tolerances without machining custom spacers.
Adapt folding mechanisms to different box heights on the fly, using the 50-70 mm extend window to match new product dimensions instantly.
Test multiple working depths on an assembly press by adjusting the extend stop, preventing tool damage during initial setup and prototyping.
For 0.5 MPa push requirements, the 32 mm bore yields 402.1 N and the 50 mm bore yields 981.8 N, helping you bracket this 628.3 N model. If your extend position never varies, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder is sufficient. When ordering, confirm the 40 mm bore, 70 mm full stroke, 20 mm adjuster window, the S magnet, and the B male rod thread.
Quick checklist
This double-acting 40 mm bore cylinder 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 70 mm with a 20 mm adjuster window, giving a usable extend range of 50-70 mm.
The external M12x1.25 threaded stop limits only the extend length, leaving retract unaffected and keeping force identical to a standard ACQ. Fixed NBR elastomer bumpers decelerate the piston at both ends, and the built-in magnet works with reed or solid-state switches.
