The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X75-40 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 ACQJ40X75-40 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 usable extend range from 35 mm up to the full 75 mm directly on your machinery, shortening the stroke by up to the 40 mm window. 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, delivering 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa. The 16 mm rod uses an M8x1.25 female thread, and the external adjuster features an M12x1.25 thread. The body includes fixed elastomer bumpers at both ends and integrated 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.

Quickly reposition a pneumatic sorting gate on a packaging line to handle different carton widths.
Safely test different extend end positions on a small assembly press to find the optimal travel distance.
When sizing this 40 mm bore cylinder, note it delivers 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less force, the next smaller 32 mm bore provides 402.1 N push, while the larger 50 mm bore offers 981.8 N push. If your end position never varies, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder is simpler and suffices. To order this adjustable version, confirm the 40 mm bore, 75 mm full stroke, 40 mm window, and rod thread; add the S suffix if you require a magnet for sensors.
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 usable extend range is 35-75 mm, utilizing a 40 mm window off the 75 mm full stroke.
The external M12x1.25 threaded stop limits only the extend stroke length, meaning force is identical to a standard ACQ. The fixed elastomer bumper decelerates the load near the end of travel, but the cylinder will not hold a load on air loss; use an external rod lock for fail-safe holding.
