The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X80-50B 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 ACQJ40X80-50B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with a male M14x1.5 piston rod end. An external threaded stop and lock nut limit the extend end position, giving a usable forward range of 30-80 mm (80 mm full stroke minus the 50 mm window). The retract distance remains completely unaffected.
Because the piston area is unchanged, the output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore, delivering 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa. The body incorporates sensor grooves for reed or solid-state switches, though this specific unit ships without a magnet. Fixed NBR elastomer bumpers decelerate the load 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.

If you need less thrust, the adjacent bore 32 yields 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas the larger bore 50 provides 981.8 N. If your machine never requires end-position tuning, a fixed-stroke ACQ40 cylinder suffices. When ordering this unit, verify the 40 mm bore, 80 mm full stroke, 50 mm adjuster window, the male rod thread, and note that the magnet is omitted.
Quick checklist
It provides 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 30-80 mm via the 50 mm window.
The M12x1.25 adjuster screw with lock nut mechanically limits how far the rod extends, shortening stroke length only. It does not alter piston area, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. Fixed elastomer bumpers handle end deceleration, and a plain cylinder will drift on air loss, requiring an external rod lock for fail-safe holding.
