The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X75-20SB 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 ACQJ40X75-20SB 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 55-75 mm out of the 75 mm full stroke, as the 20 mm window allows you to shorten the forward travel. The retract stroke remains completely unaffected.
Because the piston area stays the same, the output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore, delivering 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa. This unit includes a male M14x1.5 rod-end thread for direct load coupling and a built-in piston magnet for electronic or reed switches. It uses a PT1/8 port and fixed elastomer bumpers at both ends.

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 machining fixtures when raw part tolerances shift, using the external stop to set the 55-75 mm extend limit without swapping cylinders.
Adapt conveyor diverter arms rapidly during packaging format changes by turning the lock nut to shorten the forward stroke for different carton sizes.
Safely probe trial end positions on new assembly equipment by starting at a shorter extension and gradually increasing the travel up to the full 75 mm limit.
If you need slightly less thrust, the adjacent bore 32 model provides 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the bore 50 version yields 981.8 N. A standard fixed-stroke ACQ is sufficient if your end position never varies. To order this adjustable variant correctly, confirm the 40 mm bore, 75 mm full stroke, 20 mm adjust window, the male rod thread (-B), and the magnet (-S).
Quick checklist
It delivers 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 75 mm with a 20 mm adjustable window, giving a usable extend range of 55-75 mm.
An external M12x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut mechanically limits the extend distance, meaning the force stays identical to a standard ACQ because the piston area is unchanged. Fixed elastomer bumpers decelerate the load at both ends, and the built-in magnet (-S) works with reed or solid-state switches.
