The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X70-75 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 ACQJ40X70-75 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring an external threaded stop with a lock nut that limits the extend stroke. You can fine-tune the extend end position on the machine without changing parts, achieving a usable extend range of 0-70mm. The retract stroke remains completely unaffected by this adjustment.
Because the piston area stays the same, the output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore. This 40mm bore unit uses a PT1/8 port and a Ø16mm piston rod with an M8x1.25 female rod-end thread. It includes a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion.

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.

Adjust the extend position to accommodate different part lengths on a CNC machining fixture without fabricating new hard stops.
Rapidly reposition the extend end point during product family changeovers on automated assembly lines to minimize downtime.
Dial in the exact extension distance for varying carton sizes on a packaging machine to ensure precise folding and sealing.
If you need less push force, the 32mm bore delivers 402.1N at 0.5MPa, while the 50mm bore provides 981.8N for heavier loads. A fixed-stroke ACQ is sufficient if your end position never requires shifting. When ordering this adjustable version, confirm the 40mm bore, 70mm full stroke, 75mm adjust window, female rod thread, and whether a -S magnet is needed for sensors.
Quick checklist
Push force is 628.3N and pull is 527.8N at 0.5MPa. At 0.7MPa, push is 879.6N, with a maximum push of 128kgf at 1.0MPa. The usable extend range is 0-70mm, shortened from the 70mm full stroke by the 75mm adjuster window.
An external M12x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut limits the extend distance, changing only the stroke length and not the piston area, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. The retract stroke is unaffected. Fixed elastomer bumpers decelerate the load at stroke ends, and this unit ships without a sensor magnet.
