The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X80-75B 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 ACQJ40X80-75B 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 5 mm up to the full 80 mm on the machine, shortening the stroke by up to 75 mm without swapping parts. The retract stroke remains completely unaffected by this adjustment.
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. This unit includes a male M14x1.5 rod-end thread for direct load coupling, a 16 mm piston rod, and PT1/8 ports. It relies on fixed elastomer bumpers for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions.

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 extension on a CNC fixture to accommodate raw parts of varying widths without machining custom spacers.
Adjust the extend stroke on the fly during packaging line changeovers to accommodate different box depths and flap positions.
Set trial end positions for pressing bearings or pins on automated assembly lines, allowing rapid tweaking of the insertion depth.
Selecting this 40 mm bore provides 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa. Stepping down to a 32 mm bore drops the push to 402.1 N, while moving up to a 50 mm bore raises it to 981.8 N. If your equipment never requires end-position changes, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder is sufficient. When ordering, confirm the 80 mm full stroke, 75 mm adjuster window, the male B rod thread, and whether you need the S magnet option for sensing.
Quick checklist
The usable extend range is 5-80 mm (an 80 mm full stroke shortened by up to a 75 mm window). Force is identical to a standard ACQ: push is 628.3 N and pull is 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa, push is 879.6 N at 0.7 MPa, and the maximum push is 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external M12x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut limits the extend length without changing the piston area, so force remains unchanged. Fixed NBR bumpers decelerate the rod near stroke ends. The cylinder will not hold its load on air loss, so an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required for fail-safe holding.
