The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X80-100S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø40mm bore and 80mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The AirTAC ACQJ40X80-100S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with an external threaded stop and lock nut that limits the extend end position. You can fine-tune the usable extend range from 0 up to 80mm directly on your machinery without swapping components. The retract stroke remains completely unaffected by this adjustment.
Because the piston area stays the same, output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore, delivering 628.3N push at 0.5MPa. The 16mm rod uses an M12x1.25 adjuster thread, and the body features fixed elastomer bumpers at each end. Equipped with a magnet (-S), the integrated sensor grooves accept both reed and solid-state switches.

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.

If you need less push force at 0.5MPa, the 32mm bore provides 402.1N, whereas stepping up to the 50mm bore yields 981.8N. A fixed-stroke ACQ suffices if your extend end position never requires variation. To order this unit correctly, confirm the 40mm bore, 80mm full stroke, 100mm adjustment window, the -S magnet option, and your required rod thread.
Quick checklist
The usable extend range is 0-80mm. 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 adjustment window is 100mm.
No, the external M12x1.25 threaded stop changes stroke length only, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. Deceleration relies on fixed elastomer bumpers, not adjustable air cushions. The -S magnet works with reed or solid-state switches.
