The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X75-30 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 ACQJ40X75-30 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring an external threaded stop with a lock nut that limits the extend end position. You can fine-tune the forward stroke on the machine across a 45-75mm usable range without changing parts, as the 30mm adjustment window shortens the 75mm full stroke. The return stroke remains completely unaffected.
Because the piston area stays the same, output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore. The 40mm bore delivers 628.3N push and 527.8N pull at 0.5MPa. It uses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end and 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.

Dial in the exact clamping reach on a CNC machining center during initial tool setup, using the external M12x1.25 adjuster to set the 45-75mm forward position without swapping cylinders.
Adapt a packaging line quickly when switching carton sizes by turning the threaded stop to shorten the rod extension, achieving rapid format changes on the fly.
Test various push distances on automated assembly rigs by tweaking the extend limit to find the optimal contact point before finalizing the mechanical design.
If you need slightly less thrust, the 32mm bore variant provides 402.1N push at 0.5MPa, whereas stepping up to a 50mm bore yields 981.8N push. Choose this 40mm model for loads requiring roughly 628N of push force. If your extend position never varies, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder is sufficient. When ordering, confirm the 40mm bore, 75mm full stroke, 30mm window, female M8x1.25 rod thread, and whether you require the S magnet option for position sensing.
Quick checklist
The usable extend range is 45-75mm, created by a 30mm adjustment window on the 75mm full stroke. Force is identical to a standard ACQ: 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.
An external M12x1.25 threaded screw with a lock nut limits the forward stroke length only; the retract stroke is unaffected. The cylinder relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion, and the adjustment does not alter the pneumatic force.
