The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X90-100B is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with an EXTERNAL adjustable stop on the extend stroke — a Ø40mm bore and 90mm full stroke. Turn the stop to fine-tune the end position on the machine without changing parts.
The AirTAC ACQJ40X90-100B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring an external threaded stop with a lock nut that restricts the extend end position. You can tune the usable extend stroke down to 0mm from the 90mm full stroke directly on your equipment, while the retract stroke remains unaffected. Because the piston area stays constant, output force equals a standard ACQ of the same bore.
This bore 40mm unit pushes 628.3N and pulls 527.8N at 0.5MPa. It incorporates fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for end-of-travel deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions. The male M14x1.5 piston rod end couples directly to your load, and the body retains sensor grooves even 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.

Choosing this bore 40mm unit gives 628.3N push force at 0.5MPa. Stepping down to a 32mm bore yields 402.1N, whereas a 50mm bore provides 981.8N. If your application never requires altering the extend endpoint, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder suffices. When ordering, verify the 40mm bore, 90mm full stroke, 100mm adjuster window, PT1/8 port, and the male M14x1.5 rod thread.
Quick checklist
The bore 40mm cylinder provides 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 full stroke is 90mm with a 100mm adjustment window, yielding a usable extend range of 0-90mm.
An external M12x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut limits the extend length without reducing piston area, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. The cylinder uses fixed elastomer bumpers for deceleration and will not hold a load if air pressure is lost; use an external rod lock for fail-safe holding.
