Double Acting CQ2A12-20D SMC Single Rod Action Piston Pneumatic Cylinder

Product Description:

The SMC CQ2A Series ultra-compact cylinders offer precise linear motion for applications with limited space. These cylinders have a 12mm bore size and come with stroke options ranging from 5mm to 50mm. Despite their smaller size, they provide robust performance, being 30% shorter than standard cylinders. Made from aerospace-grade aluminum with hard anodization, they can operate at 0.05-1.0MPa (7-145 psi) to deliver a maximum thrust of 90N.

With pre-lubricated seals, these cylinders require no maintenance for smooth operation. They are equipped with integrated magnetic fields to support sensor mounting and are compatible with SMC's modular accessory system, which includes guides, valves, and mounting brackets.

Features:

Ultra-Compact: The product is only 24mm wide, which is 40% shorter than ISO cylinders (e.g., 82mm @50mm stroke).

Lightweight: Featuring a topology-optimized aluminum body, it weighs only 0.15kg @50mm stroke.

Modular Integration: It allows for direct mounting with MXS guides/VQ valves.

Balanced Thrust: The product offers 90N±3% bidirectional force @1.0MPa.

High Speed: It can operate at 500mm/s with a 0.15s response time @50mm stroke.

Adjustable Cushioning: An optional hydraulic damper is available for 0.043J absorption.

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

Corrosion Resistance: The product features -XC6 stainless steel kit with a SUS304 rod.

IP65 Protection: It includes -XC4 dual wipers for use in dust/dirt environments.

4-Side Sensor Slots: Compatible with D-M9N sensors, which fit Φ3.5mm slots.

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

Stroke Adjustment: Allows for ±5mm travel modification with the -XC8 module.

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

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

Zero-Leakage Seals: It uses X271 FKM compound seals, with <0.1mL/min leakage @0.5MPa.

Applications:

Micro-Component Handling: Short-stroke models ranging from 5-15mm facilitate precise pick-and-place operations for 0201 SMD components during PCB assembly. These models achieve a repeatability of ±0.05mm.

Laser Marking Systems: The marking heads, with strokes between 20-30mm, are powered by D-M9N sensors providing position feedback, ensuring alignment accuracy within 0.1mm deviation.

Diagnostic Sample Transfer: Stainless steel kits compatible with 35-50mm stroke variants, such as the -XC6 series, are designed to handle biological samples in analyzers, preventing contamination in FDA-compliant environments.

Reagent Dispensing: 10mm stroke units operating at low pressure (0.05MPa) deliver fluid dosing accuracy of 0.1mL in IVD instruments, enabling precise dispensing of reagents.

Optical Inspection: Cylinders with 40mm strokes position AOI cameras at speeds between 50-200mm/s, reducing vibration for high-magnification imaging applications.

Robotic End-Effectors: Integrated with collaborative robots, these end-effectors feature 25mm strokes and M3 rod threads, enabling quick and lightweight part insertion with cycle times under 0.5s.

High-Speed Cutting: With 50mm strokes, these models activate blades in film-sealing systems, completing cuts in just 0.2s at 1.0MPa pressure, with hydraulic cushioning for shock reduction.

Label Alignment: Models with 15mm strokes and -DZ mounting ears ensure precise label positioning with deviations ≤0.3mm in pharmaceutical blister packaging lines.

A medical device manufacturer was able to reduce machine thickness by 42% by implementing the CQ2A12-30DMZ model, equipped with 4-side sensors. This led to a significant 70% reduction in downtime for their cartridge loading systems.
