Product Description:
The SMC CQ2A Series ultra-compact cylinders provide precise linear
motion in tight spaces. These cylinders feature a 12mm bore size
and various stroke options ranging from 5mm to 50mm. Unlike
standard cylinders, the double-acting single-rod design of the CQ2A
Series offers a 30% reduction in length without compromising
performance.
Manufactured from aerospace-grade aluminum with hard anodization,
these cylinders can operate at pressures between 0.05-1.0MPa (7-145
psi) and produce a maximum thrust of 90N. Pre-lubricated seals
ensure maintenance-free operation, while integrated magnetic fields
facilitate sensor mounting.
The CQ2A Series cylinders are compatible with SMC's modular
accessory system, allowing for easy integration with guides,
valves, and mounting brackets. This versatility makes these
cylinders ideal for applications where space is limited but
precision and performance are essential.
Features:

Modular Integration: Direct mounting with MXS guides/VQ valves
2. Precision Performance
Balanced Thrust: 90N±3% bidirectional force @1.0MPa
High Speed: 500mm/s operation, 0.15s response time @50mm stroke
Adjustable Cushioning: Optional hydraulic damper (0.043J absorption)
3. Enhanced Durability
Wide Temp. Option: -XB6 seals for -40~150°C (-40~302°F) operation
Corrosion Resistance: -XC6 stainless steel kit (SUS304 rod)
IP65 Protection: -XC4 dual wipers for dust/dirt environments
4. Smart Mounting
4-Side Sensor Slots: Compatible with D-M9N sensors (Φ3.5mm slot)
8 Mounting Styles: Pre-loaded screws for A/L/D-type configurations
Stroke Adjustment: ±5mm travel modification with -XC8 module
5. 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:
Electronics Manufacturing
Micro-Component Handling: Short-stroke models ranging from 5-15mm
are utilized to achieve precise pick-and-place operations of 0201
SMD components during PCB assembly. These models offer a
repeatability of ±0.05mm.
Laser Marking Systems: The marking heads are driven by strokes of
20-30mm with position feedback facilitated by D-M9N sensors,
ensuring alignment accuracy with deviations under 0.1mm.
Medical & Laboratory Equipment
Diagnostic Sample Transfer: Varied stroke lengths of 35-50mm,
paired with -XC6 stainless steel kits, are employed for handling
biological samples in analyzers to maintain contamination-free
environments compliant with FDA regulations.
Reagent Dispensing: Operating at low pressure (0.05MPa), the system
achieves precise fluid dosing of 0.1mL in IVD instruments using
10mm stroke units.
Compact Automation Cells
Optical Inspection: Cylinders with 40mm stroke capabilities
position AOI cameras at adjustable speeds ranging from 50-200mm/s
to reduce vibration during high-magnification imaging tasks.
Robotic End-Effectors: Integrated with collaborative robots, these
end-effectors facilitate lightweight part insertion with a 25mm
stroke and M3 rod threads, all accomplished within cycle times
under 0.5s.
Packaging Machinery
High-Speed Cutting: Models with 50mm stroke length are utilized to
actuate blades in film-sealing systems, enabling quick cuts in 0.2s
with hydraulic cushioning at 1.0MPa to reduce shock.
Label Alignment: Models with 15mm stroke length and -DZ mounting
ears correct label position deviations of no more than 0.3mm in
pharmaceutical blister packaging lines.
Case Study
A medical device manufacturer successfully reduced machine
thickness by 42% by integrating the CQ2A12-30DMZ model with 4-side
sensors. This led to a 70% decrease in downtime for cartridge
loading systems.
