CQ2A12-40D Single Rod Pneumatic Cylinder SMC

Product Description:

The SMC CQ2A Series offers ultra-compact cylinders that are designed to provide high-precision linear motion in applications with limited space. These cylinders feature a 12mm bore size and come with stroke options ranging from 5mm to 50mm. Despite their compact size, these double-acting single-rod cylinders deliver robust performance, offering a 30% reduction in length when compared to standard cylinders.

Constructed from aerospace-grade aluminum with hard anodization, the SMC CQ2A Series cylinders are engineered to operate at 0.05-1.0MPa (7-145 psi) to generate a maximum thrust of 90N.

Thanks to pre-lubricated seals, these cylinders enable maintenance-free operation, ensuring continuous performance in demanding environments. Additionally, the integrated magnetic fields of the cylinders support sensor mounting, enhancing their functionality and reliability.

The SMC CQ2A Series cylinders are compatible with SMC's modular accessory system, allowing for seamless integration with guides, valves, and mounting brackets. This versatility enables users to customize and configure these cylinders to meet their specific application requirements.

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:

Micro-Component Handling: Short-stroke models ranging from 5-15mm are utilized for precision pick-and-place operations of 0201 SMD components in PCB assembly. These models achieve a remarkable ±0.05mm repeatability for accurate placement.

Laser Marking Systems: The systems feature strokes of 20-30mm that drive marking heads equipped with position feedback via D-M9N sensors. This setup ensures alignment accuracy with deviation under 0.1mm.

Diagnostic Sample Transfer: Variants with strokes ranging from 35-50mm and -XC6 stainless steel kits are employed for safe handling of biological samples in analyzers. This prevents contamination in FDA-compliant environments.

Reagent Dispensing: Operating at low pressure (0.05MPa), units with 10mm stroke offer precise fluid dosing accuracy of 0.1mL in IVD instruments.

Optical Inspection: Cylinders with 40mm stroke capability position AOI cameras at adjustable speeds of 50-200mm/s, reducing vibration during high-magnification imaging.

Robotic End-Effectors: Integrated with collaborative robots, these end-effectors are designed for lightweight part insertion with a 25mm stroke and M3 rod threads, achieving cycle times under 0.5s.

High-Speed Cutting: Models with 50mm stroke are used for actuating blades in film-sealing systems, completing cuts in just 0.2s at 1.0MPa pressure. Hydraulic cushioning is employed for shock reduction.

Label Alignment: Versions with 15mm stroke and -DZ mounting ears are utilized to correct label position deviations of ≤0.3mm in pharmaceutical blister packaging lines.

A medical device manufacturer successfully reduced machine thickness by 42% by implementing CQ2A12-30DMZ models equipped with 4-side sensors. This led to a 70% decrease in downtime for cartridge loading systems.
