The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X70-30B 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 ACQJ40X70-30B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring an external threaded stop with a lock nut that restricts the EXTEND end position. You can fine-tune the usable forward range from 40 mm up to the full 70 mm on your machinery, while the RETRACT stroke remains completely unaffected. Because the piston area stays constant, the output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore.
This 40 mm bore unit delivers 628.3 N of push force and 527.8 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. It features a male M14x1.5 rod-end thread for direct load coupling, a PT1/8 port, and a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration. The body includes magnetic-switch grooves, though this specific configuration ships without a magnet.

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.

Choosing this bore gives 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa; stepping down to a 32 mm bore yields 402.1 N, while stepping up to a 50 mm bore provides 981.8 N. If your setup never requires altering the forward end position, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder is sufficient. When ordering, confirm the 40 mm bore, 70 mm full stroke, 30 mm adjustment window, the male rod thread (-B), and whether you need the -S magnet option for position sensing.
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore cylinder has a 70 mm full stroke with a 30 mm adjustment window, allowing a usable extend range of 40-70 mm. It 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 port size is PT1/8.
No, the external M12x1.25 threaded stop only limits the forward stroke length; the force remains identical to a standard ACQ because the piston area is unchanged. The cylinder uses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper for deceleration and does not hold the load on air loss, so an external rod lock is needed for fail-safe holding.
