The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X90-100S 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 ACQJ40X90-100S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with an external threaded stop and lock nut that limits the extend end position. You get a usable extend range of 0-90 mm from the 90 mm full stroke, while the retract stroke remains unaffected. Because the piston area stays constant, output force is identical to a standard ACQ of the same bore.
This 40 mm bore actuator features a 16 mm rod, an M12x1.25 adjuster thread, and a female M8x1.25 rod-end thread. It includes a built-in piston magnet compatible with reed or solid-state switches, plus fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration.

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 reach on a CNC fixture during setup. The external stop allows minute extend-position tweaks without swapping cylinders or machining new spacers.
Adapt pressing or locating stops rapidly when switching between product variants on an automated line. The 0-90 mm adjustable window handles varying part heights seamlessly.
Match varying carton dimensions on a packaging conveyor. The external adjuster fine-tunes the rod extension to seal different box sizes perfectly without retooling.
Selecting this 40 mm bore gives 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa. If your fixture needs less push force, the adjacent 32 mm bore provides 402.1 N; for heavier demands, the 50 mm bore yields 981.8 N. A fixed-stroke ACQ suffices if your end position never varies, but choose this ACQJ when you require on-the-fly adjustments. Confirm your ordering essentials: 40 mm bore, 90 mm full stroke, 100 mm window, S magnet, and female rod thread.
Quick checklist
It 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 full stroke is 90 mm with a 100 mm window, allowing a usable extend range of 0-90 mm.
The external M12x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut limits the extend stroke length only; it does not change piston area, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. Fixed NBR elastomer bumpers handle deceleration at stroke ends, and the -S magnet works with reed or solid-state switches.
