The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X90-10S 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 ACQJ40X90-10S 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 80 to 90 mm, set by the 10 mm adjustment window, while the retract stroke remains completely unaffected. Because the piston area stays the same, output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore.
This 40 mm bore actuator pushes with 628.3 N and pulls with 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa. It features a 16 mm rod, a PT1/8 port, and fixed elastomer bumpers at both ends rather than adjustable pneumatic cushions. The included -S magnet works with reed or solid-state switches via the integrated body grooves for precise position sensing.

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 machining center during setup, using the external stop to accommodate different raw casting lengths without swapping cylinders.
Adjust the extend endpoint on a carton sealing machine to handle varied box depths, relying on the 10 mm window to shift the pressing position rapidly between production runs.
Set trial end positions for pressing bearings on an automated assembly line, tweaking the stroke by a few millimeters to accommodate part tolerances before locking the nut down.
If you need slightly less push, the 32 mm bore yields 402.1 N at 0.5 MPa; stepping up to the 50 mm bore provides 981.8 N. Choose this adjustable model only if your end position requires on-machine fine-tuning, otherwise a fixed-stroke ACQ suffices. Confirm your ordering details including the 40 mm bore, 90 mm full stroke, 10 mm window, -S magnet, and the default female M8x1.25 rod-end thread.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it provides a push force of 628.3 N and a pull force of 527.8 N. At 0.7 MPa the push force is 879.6 N, with a maximum push of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The usable extend range is 80 to 90 mm, created by the 10 mm adjustment window subtracted from the 90 mm full stroke.
The external M12x1.25 threaded stop with lock nut physically catches the rod to shorten the extend stroke, meaning force remains identical to a standard ACQ since piston area is unchanged. The retract stroke is unaffected, and deceleration relies on fixed elastomer bumpers rather than an adjustable air cushion.
