The AirTAC Airtac ACQJ32~40 Adjustable Thin-Type Cylinder ACQJ40X90-75 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 ACQJ40X90-75 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with a 90mm full stroke and a 75mm adjustment window, allowing you to tune the extend end position anywhere from 15mm to 90mm directly on your machine. A threaded stop secured by a lock nut on the rod-end side sets this extend limit, 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 40mm bore unit pushes 628.3N and pulls 527.8N at 0.5MPa, operating at speeds from 30 to 500mm/s. It features a 16mm piston rod, a PT1/8 port, and fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration. The body includes magnetic-switch grooves, though this specific configuration ships without a magnet. The external adjuster utilizes an M12x1.25 thread for precise positioning.

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.

Safely test trial extend endpoints on new laboratory automation equipment, finding the optimal reach before committing to a hard-coded stroke length.
If you do not need to alter the extend endpoint, a fixed-stroke ACQ cylinder provides the exact same 628.3N push force at 0.5MPa in a simpler package. When sizing up or down, a 32mm bore yields 402.1N push, while a 50mm bore provides 981.8N push at the same pressure. To order this adjustable variant correctly, confirm the 40mm bore, 90mm full stroke, 75mm window, female rod-end thread, and whether you require the S magnet option for sensor activation.
Quick checklist
This 40mm bore cylinder delivers a push force of 628.3N and a pull force of 527.8N at 0.5MPa, 879.6N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum push of 128kgf at 1.0MPa. The usable extend range is 15-90mm, created by the 90mm full stroke minus the 75mm adjustment window.
No, the external M12x1.25 threaded stop only limits the extend stroke length, meaning the force remains identical to a standard ACQ. The cylinder relies on fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions, so you may need an external shock absorber for high-energy loads. Note that this model does not include a sensor magnet.
