Single Rod Double Acting Cylinder CQ2A12-30D SMC 12mm Bore 30mm Stroke

Product Description:

The SMC CQ2A Series ultra-compact cylinders provide precise linear motion for applications with limited space. With a 12mm bore size and stroke options ranging from 5mm to 50mm, these double-acting single-rod cylinders are 30% shorter than standard cylinders while maintaining robust performance. Made from aerospace-grade aluminum with hard anodization, they operate at 0.05-1.0MPa (7-145 psi) to deliver a maximum thrust of 90N.

Pre-lubricated seals ensure maintenance-free operation, and integrated magnetic fields facilitate sensor mounting. The cylinders are compatible with SMC's modular accessory system, which includes guides, valves, and mounting brackets.

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:

Electronics Manufacturing

Micro-Component Handling: Short-stroke models ranging from 5-15mm are utilized for precision pick-and-place of 0201 SMD components in PCB assembly, achieving repeatability within ±0.05mm.

Laser Marking Systems: Marking heads are driven with 20-30mm strokes and position feedback via D-M9N sensors, ensuring alignment accuracy with less than 0.1mm deviation.

Medical & Laboratory Equipment

Diagnostic Sample Transfer: Variants with strokes between 35-50mm and -XC6 stainless steel kits are used for handling biological samples in analyzers, thus preventing contamination in FDA-compliant environments.

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

Compact Automation Cells

Optical Inspection: Cylinders with 40mm strokes position AOI cameras at speeds adjust from 50-200mm/s, minimizing vibration during high-magnification imaging.

Robotic End-Effectors: Integrated with collaborative robots for lightweight part insertion, equipped with 25mm stroke and M3 rod threads, operated under 0.5s cycle times.

Packaging Machinery

High-Speed Cutting: 50mm strokes are utilized to actuate blades in film-sealing systems, completing cuts in 0.2s at 1.0MPa with hydraulic cushioning for shock reduction.

Label Alignment: Versions featuring 15mm strokes and -DZ mounting ears correct label position deviations of ≤0.3mm in pharmaceutical blister packaging lines.

Case Study: A medical device manufacturer achieved a 42% reduction in machine thickness by implementing the CQ2A12-30DMZ with 4-side sensors, leading to a 70% decrease in downtime in cartridge loading systems.
