The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X70-50S 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 ACQJ40X70-50S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with an external extend stop. A threaded rod with a lock nut lets you fine-tune the extend end position on the machine itself. The full stroke is 70 mm, but the 50 mm adjustment window allows a usable extend range of 20 to 70 mm. The retract stroke remains completely unaffected.
Because the piston area is unchanged, force is identical to a standard ACQ bore 40. It delivers 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa. The body uses fixed elastomer bumpers for deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions. The included -S magnet works with reed or solid-state switches in the built-in grooves.

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 extend position for different raw material blanks on a CNC loading station without machining custom stop collars.
Quickly reset the extend end position on a carton erector when switching to a different box format, using the external lock nut.
Find the ideal end-of-stroke clamping point on a test rig by threading the stop in or out during initial mechanical setup.
If you need less push force, the bore 32 model provides 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa. For heavier loads, the bore 50 model yields 981.8 N push. A fixed-stroke ACQ suffices if your end position never varies. To order this cylinder, confirm the 40 mm bore, 70 mm full stroke, 50 mm window, the -S magnet, and the female M8x1.25 rod thread.
Quick checklist
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 full stroke is 70 mm, but the 50 mm window gives a usable extend range of 20 to 70 mm.
No, the external M12x1.25 threaded stop only limits how far the rod extends; it does not alter piston area. Force remains identical to a standard ACQ. The cylinder uses fixed elastomer bumpers, so for high energy loads an external shock absorber is recommended.
