SMC CQ2A12-45DM Air Piston Pneumatic Cylinder for Industrial Automation and Reliability

Product Description:

The SMC CQ2A Series ultra-compact cylinders provide precise linear motion in applications with limited space. These double-acting single-rod cylinders, featuring a 12mm bore size and stroke options ranging from 5mm to 50mm, offer a compact design while maintaining robust performance. They are 30% shorter than standard cylinders and are made from aerospace-grade aluminum with hard anodization for durability.

Operating at a pressure range of 0.05-1.0MPa (7-145 psi), the SMC CQ2A Series cylinders can generate a maximum thrust of 90N. Pre-lubricated seals ensure maintenance-free operation, and integrated magnetic fields facilitate sensor mounting. These cylinders are compatible with SMC's modular accessory system, which includes guides, valves, and mounting brackets for added flexibility and convenience.

Features:

Ultra-Compact: 24mm width, 40% shorter than ISO cylinders (e.g., 82mm @50mm stroke)

Lightweight: Topology-optimized aluminum body (0.15kg @50mm stroke)

Modular Integration: Direct mounting with MXS guides/VQ valves

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)

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-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

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:

Diagnostics Sample Transfer: The -XC6 stainless steel kits are used to handle biological samples in analyzers, with stroke variants ranging from 35-50mm. These kits are essential for preventing contamination in FDA-compliant environments.

Reagent Dispensing: Achieving high fluid dosing accuracy in IVD instruments is made possible with low-pressure operation at 0.05MPa. The 10mm stroke units ensure precise dosing of 0.1mL reagents.

Compact Automation Cells enable efficient and precise operations in various applications:

• Optical Inspection: Cylinders with 40mm stroke are utilized to position AOI cameras at adjustable speeds of 50-200mm/s. This setup minimizes vibration during high-magnification imaging.
• Robotic End-Effectors: Integrated with collaborative robots, these end-effectors have a 25mm stroke and M3 rod threads for lightweight part insertion. The cycle times are under 0.5s.

Packaging Machinery is optimized with advanced features:

• High-Speed Cutting: Models with 50mm stroke actuate blades in film-sealing systems, completing cuts in 0.2s at 1.0MPa pressure. Hydraulic cushioning reduces shock during operations.
• Label Alignment: Versions with 15mm stroke and -DZ mounting ears ensure precise correction of label position deviations ≤0.3mm in pharmaceutical blister packaging lines.

Case Study: A medical device manufacturer achieved significant improvements by using the CQ2A12-30DMZ model with 4-side sensors. Machine thickness was reduced by 42%, and downtime in cartridge loading systems was cut by 70%.
