CQ2A12-15DM SMC Air Fluid Piston Pneumatic Cylinder

Product Description:

The SMC CQ2A Series ultra-compact cylinders provide high-precision linear motion in applications that have limited space. These double-acting single-rod cylinders come with a 12mm bore size and stroke options ranging from 5mm to 50mm. Despite being 30% shorter than standard cylinders, they offer durable performance, making them suitable for various industrial applications.

Manufactured with aerospace-grade aluminum and hard anodization, these cylinders are capable of operating at 0.05-1.0MPa (7-145 psi) and can deliver a maximum thrust of 90N. Their pre-lubricated seals contribute to maintenance-free operation, while the integrated magnetic fields facilitate sensor mounting. Furthermore, these cylinders are compatible with SMC's modular accessory system, allowing for easy integration with accessories such as guides, valves, and mounting brackets.

Features:

Ultra-Compact: With a width of only 24mm, this design is 40% shorter than ISO cylinders, for example, the length is 82mm for a 50mm stroke.

Lightweight: Featuring a topology-optimized aluminum body, the weight is only 0.15kg for a 50mm stroke.

Modular Integration: This design allows for direct mounting with MXS guides and VQ valves.

Balanced Thrust: Expect a bidirectional force of 90N±3% at 1.0MPa.

High Speed: Operating at 500mm/s with a rapid 0.15s response time for a 50mm stroke.

Adjustable Cushioning: Users have the option for an optional hydraulic damper with 0.043J absorption.

Wide Temp. Option: Equipped with -XB6 seals, this design can operate in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 150°C (-40°F to 302°F).

Corrosion Resistance: Utilizes -XC6 stainless steel kit featuring a SUS304 rod for increased durability.

IP65 Protection: Incorporated with -XC4 dual wipers to guard against dust and dirt in various environments.

4-Side Sensor Slots: Compatible with D-M9N sensors with Φ3.5mm slot size.

8 Mounting Styles: Designed with pre-loaded screws for easy A/L/D-type configurations.

Stroke Adjustment: Users can achieve a ±5mm travel modification using the -XC8 module.

Hard Anodized Bore: Boasting a 25μm coating for 3 times the wear resistance.

Hard Chrome Plated Rod: Featuring a 0.02mm thickness with a friction coefficient of μ≤0.15.

Zero-Leakage Seals: Equipped with X271 FKM compound seals, guaranteeing less than 0.1mL/min leakage at 0.5MPa.

Applications:

Diagnostic Sample Transfer: 35-50mm stroke variants with -XC6 stainless steel kits handle biological samples in analyzers, preventing contamination in FDA-compliant environments.

Reagent Dispensing: Low-pressure operation (0.05MPa) achieves 0.1mL fluid dosing accuracy in IVD instruments using 10mm stroke units.

Compact Automation Cells

Optical Inspection: 40mm stroke cylinders position AOI cameras at 50-200mm/s adjustable speeds, minimizing vibration during high-magnification imaging.

Robotic End-Effectors: Integrated with collaborative robots for lightweight part insertion (25mm stroke, M3 rod threads) under 0.5s cycle times.

Packaging Machinery

High-Speed Cutting: 50mm stroke models actuate blades in film-sealing systems, completing cuts in 0.2s at 1.0MPa with hydraulic cushioning for shock reduction.

Label Alignment: 15mm stroke versions with -DZ mounting ears correct label position deviations ≤0.3mm in pharmaceutical blister packaging lines.

Case Study: A medical device manufacturer reduced machine thickness by 42% using CQ2A12-30DMZ with 4-side sensors, cutting downtime 70% in cartridge loading systems.
