The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X90-10SB 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 ACQJ40X90-10SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with an external threaded stop and lock nut that limits the EXTEND end position. You can fine-tune the usable extend range from 80 mm up to the full 90 mm stroke directly on the machine, while the retract stroke remains completely unaffected. Because the piston area stays the same, the output force is identical to a standard ACQ of this bore.
This model includes a male piston rod thread (M14x1.5) for direct load coupling and a built-in piston magnet (-S) for position sensing. The sensor grooves accept both reed and electronic solid-state switches. It features a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration, operating reliably at speeds of 30-500 mm/s within a -20 to +70 C environment.

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.

When sizing this 40 mm bore unit, note it delivers 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull force at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less force, the next size down is a 32 mm bore providing 402.1 N push, or for heavier demands, a 50 mm bore yields 981.8 N push. If your end position never varies, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder is sufficient. To order this adjustable version correctly, confirm the 40 mm bore, 90 mm full stroke, 10 mm window, the -S magnet, and the -B male rod thread.
Quick checklist
The usable extend range is 80-90 mm (90 mm full stroke minus the 10 mm window). Force is identical to a standard ACQ: 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 external M12x1.25 threaded stop with a lock nut limits only the extend stroke length, leaving retract unaffected. It does not change piston area, so force remains identical to a standard ACQ. The fixed elastomer bumper decelerates the rod near stroke end, but a plain ACQ-type does not hold its load on air loss; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe holding.
