Product Description:
The SMC CQ2A Series ultra-compact cylinders deliver high-precision linear motion in
space-constrained applications. Featuring a 12mm bore size with stroke options of 5/10/15/20/25/30/35/40/45/50mm , these double-acting single-rod cylinders combine 30% shorter length than standard cylinders with robust performance.
Constructed from aerospace-grade aluminum with hard anodization,
they operate at 0.05-1.0MPa (7-145 psi) to generate 90N maximum thrust. Pre-lubricated seals enable maintenance-free
operation while integrated magnetic fields support sensor mounting.
Compatible with SMC's modular accessory system including guides, valves, and mounting brackets.
Features:
Space-Optimized Design
Ultra-Compact: With a width of only 24mm, these cylinders are 40%
shorter than traditional ISO cylinders (e.g., 82mm @50mm stroke).
Lightweight: Constructed with a topology-optimized aluminum body,
they weigh just 0.15kg @50mm stroke.
Modular Integration: These cylinders can be directly mounted with
MXS guides/VQ valves.
Precision Performance
Balanced Thrust: They provide a bidirectional force of 90N±3%
@1.0MPa.
High Speed: Operating at speeds of 500mm/s, they offer a quick
0.15s response time @50mm stroke.
Adjustable Cushioning: An optional hydraulic damper is available
for absorption of 0.043J.
Enhanced Durability
Wide Temp. Option: Equipped with -XB6 seals, these cylinders can
operate in temperatures ranging from -40~150°C (-40~302°F).
Corrosion Resistance: They feature a -XC6 stainless steel kit with
a SUS304 rod, providing excellent resistance to corrosion.
IP65 Protection: With -XC4 dual wipers, these cylinders are
safeguarded from dust/dirt environments.
Smart Mounting
4-Side Sensor Slots: Working with D-M9N sensors, these cylinders
offer compatibility with Φ3.5mm slot sensors.
8 Mounting Styles: They come with pre-loaded screws for A/L/D-type
configurations, providing flexibility in mounting.
Stroke Adjustment: An -XC8 module allows for ±5mm travel
modification.
Advanced Engineering
Hard Anodized Bore: Featuring a 25μm coating, offering three times
the wear resistance of standard cylinders.
Hard Chrome Plated Rod: With a 0.02mm thickness and a friction
coefficient of μ≤0.15, ensuring smooth operation.
Zero-Leakage Seals: Utilizing X271 FKM compound, these cylinders
exhibit less than <0.1mL/min leakage @0.5MPa.
Applications:
Diagnostic Sample Transfer
For diagnostic sample transfer, we offer 35-50mm stroke variants
with -XC6 stainless steel kits that effectively handle biological
samples in analyzers. This configuration helps prevent
contamination in FDA-compliant environments.
Reagent Dispensing
Our reagent dispensing systems operate at low pressure (0.05MPa)
and achieve precise 0.1mL fluid dosing accuracy in IVD instruments
using 10mm stroke units.
Compact Automation Cells
Optical Inspection
Our compact automation cells feature 40mm stroke cylinders that
position AOI cameras at speeds ranging from 50-200mm/s. These
adjustable speeds help minimize vibration during high-magnification
imaging.
Robotic End-Effectors
Integrated with collaborative robots, our robotic end-effectors
with 25mm stroke and M3 rod threads enable lightweight part
insertion under 0.5s cycle times.
Packaging Machinery
High-Speed Cutting
Models with a 50mm stroke are designed for high-speed cutting
applications, such as actuating blades in film-sealing systems.
Cuts can be completed in just 0.2s at 1.0MPa with hydraulic
cushioning for shock reduction.
Label Alignment
Our label alignment solutions include 15mm stroke versions with -DZ
mounting ears that correct label position deviations of ≤0.3mm in
pharmaceutical blister packaging lines.
Case Study
A medical device manufacturer successfully reduced machine
thickness by 42% using the CQ2A12-30DMZ model with 4-side sensors.
This upgrade resulted in a 70% decrease in downtime for cartridge
loading systems.
