The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X75-50B 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 ACQJ40X75-50B 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 25 mm up to the full 75 mm on your machine without changing parts, while the retract stroke remains completely unaffected.
Because the piston area stays standard, output force is identical to a regular ACQ of this bore, delivering 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa. This specific variant includes a male M14x1.5 rod-end thread for direct load coupling, a PT1/8 port, and fixed elastomer bumpers at both ends. Note that this unit ships without a sensor magnet, though the body retains magnetic-switch grooves for future upgrades.

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.

When sizing this 40 mm bore actuator, consider the neighbouring bores: a 32 mm unit yields 402.1 N push, whereas a 50 mm provides 981.8 N at 0.5 MPa. If your extend endpoint never varies, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder is sufficient. To order this adjustable version correctly, confirm the 40 mm bore, 75 mm full stroke, 50 mm window, the male rod thread (-B), and note that the magnet (-S) is omitted here.
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore cylinder 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 50 mm adjustable window allows the extend stroke to be shortened from 75 mm down to 25 mm.
An M12x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut mechanically limits the extend length, meaning force stays identical to a standard ACQ since piston area is unchanged. The cylinder uses fixed elastomer bumpers for end-of-stroke deceleration and will not hold its load on air loss, so an external rod lock is needed for fail-safe holding.
