The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X75-20S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø40mm bore and 75mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The AirTAC ACQJ40X75-20S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with a 40mm bore and 75mm full stroke. An external M12x1.25 threaded stop with lock nut limits the extend end position, giving a usable forward range of 55 to 75mm. The return stroke remains at the standard 75mm. A built-in piston magnet (-S) allows tracking by reed or solid-state electronic switches.
Because the adjuster only restricts forward travel, the piston area stays the same, meaning force is identical to a standard ACQ. Expect 628.3N push and 527.8N pull at 0.5MPa. The unit features a 16mm rod, PT1/8 port, and fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for end-of-travel 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 |

| 0.7 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 depth on a CNC fixture during setup or when swapping part programs, avoiding the need to machine custom spacers.
Adjust the pusher end position on a packaging line to handle different box heights during product changeover without swapping cylinders.
Find the optimal engagement distance on a laboratory press by tweaking the extend stop, testing various end positions safely before finalizing the design.
This 40mm bore yields 628.3N push at 0.5MPa. If you need less force, step down to a 32mm bore (402.1N push); if your application requires more, move up to a 50mm bore (981.8N push). A non-adjustable ACQ40X75 works fine if your end position never changes. When ordering, confirm the 75mm full stroke, the 20mm adjuster window, the -S magnet, and the default female M8x1.25 rod-end thread.
Quick checklist
It delivers 628.3N push and 527.8N pull at 0.5MPa, 879.6N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum push of 128kgf at 1.0MPa. The full stroke is 75mm with a 20mm adjuster window, providing a usable extend range of 55 to 75mm. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0MPa.
No, the external M12x1.25 stop only shortens the forward travel distance; the piston area is unchanged so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. The retract stroke is unaffected, and fixed elastomer bumpers handle end-of-travel deceleration instead of an adjustable air cushion.
