CQ2A12-45D SMC Piston Pneumatic Cylinder for Air in Heavy Duty Applications

Product Description:

The SMC CQ2A Series ultra-compact cylinders provide precise linear motion in applications where space is limited. These double-acting single-rod cylinders feature a 12mm bore size and come with stroke options ranging from 5mm to 50mm. Despite being 30% shorter than standard cylinders, they offer reliable performance. Made of aerospace-grade aluminum with hard anodization, these cylinders can operate at 0.05-1.0MPa (7-145 psi) to produce a maximum thrust of 90N.

The cylinders are equipped with pre-lubricated seals, ensuring maintenance-free operation, and have integrated magnetic fields for sensor mounting. They are compatible with SMC's modular accessory system, allowing for easy integration with guides, valves, and mounting brackets.

Advanced Engineering
Hard Anodized Bore: 25μm coating, 3× wear resistance
Hard Chrome Plated Rod: 0.02mm thickness, μ≤0.15 friction coefficient
Zero-Leakage Seals: X271 FKM compound, <0.1mL/min leakage @0.5MPa

Applications:

Micro-Component Handling: Our 5-15mm short-stroke models are designed to enable precision pick-and-place of 0201 SMD components in PCB assembly. They achieve an impressive ±0.05mm repeatability to ensure accuracy.

Laser Marking Systems: With 20-30mm strokes, our systems drive marking heads supported by position feedback via D-M9N sensors. This setup guarantees alignment accuracy with under 0.1mm deviation.

Diagnostic Sample Transfer: Our 35-50mm stroke variants, equipped with -XC6 stainless steel kits, excel in handling biological samples in analyzers. They are essential in preventing contamination in FDA-compliant settings.

Reagent Dispensing: Operating at low pressure (0.05MPa), our systems provide 0.1mL fluid dosing accuracy in IVD instruments using 10mm stroke units.

Optical Inspection: Cylinders with 40mm strokes precisely position AOI cameras at adjustable speeds of 50-200mm/s, ensuring minimal vibration during high-magnification imaging.

Robotic End-Effectors: Integrated with collaborative robots, our systems excel in lightweight part insertion with 25mm stroke and M3 rod threads, achieving cycle times under 0.5s.

High-Speed Cutting: Using 50mm stroke models, our machinery delivers efficient blade actuation in film-sealing systems, completing cuts in just 0.2s at 1.0MPa. Additionally, hydraulic cushioning is employed for shock reduction.

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

A medical device manufacturer achieved impressive results by reducing machine thickness by 42% using the CQ2A12-30DMZ with 4-side sensors. This led to a significant 70% reduction in downtime in cartridge loading systems.
