Product Description:
The SMC CQ2A Series ultra-compact cylinders are designed to provide high-precision linear motion in space-constrained applications. These cylinders feature a 12mm bore size and offer stroke options ranging from 5 to 50mm. Despite their compact size, these double-acting single-rod cylinders deliver robust performance, with 30% shorter length than standard cylinders.
Constructed from aerospace-grade aluminum and equipped with hard anodization, the CQ2A cylinders can operate at 0.05-1.0MPa (7-145 psi) to generate a maximum thrust of 90N. Pre-lubricated seals ensure maintenance-free operation, while the integrated magnetic fields facilitate sensor mounting.
The CQ2A cylinders are also compatible with SMC's modular accessory system, which includes guides, valves, and mounting brackets. This compatibility allows for increased versatility and customization to meet various application requirements.

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:
Diagnostic Sample Transfer: 35-50mm stroke variants with -XC6 stainless steel kits handle biological samples in analyzers, preventing contamination in FDA-compliant environments.
Reagent Dispensing: Low-pressure operation (0.05MPa) achieves 0.1mL fluid dosing accuracy in IVD instruments using 10mm stroke units.
Compact Automation Cells
Optical Inspection: 40mm stroke cylinders position AOI cameras at 50-200mm/s adjustable speeds, minimizing vibration during high-magnification imaging.
Robotic End-Effectors: Integrated with collaborative robots for lightweight part insertion (25mm stroke, M3 rod threads) under 0.5s cycle times.
Packaging Machinery
High-Speed Cutting: 50mm stroke models actuate blades in film-sealing systems, completing cuts in 0.2s at 1.0MPa with hydraulic cushioning for shock reduction.
Label Alignment: 15mm stroke versions with -DZ mounting ears correct label position deviations ≤0.3mm in pharmaceutical blister packaging lines.
Case Study: A medical device manufacturer reduced machine thickness by 42% using CQ2A12-30DMZ with 4-side sensors, cutting downtime 70% in cartridge loading systems.
