Product Description:
The SMC CQ2A Series ultra-compact cylinders
These cylinders provide high-precision linear motion in applications with limited space. They have a 12mm bore size and offer stroke options ranging from 5mm to 50mm. The cylinders are double-acting single-rod, making them 30% shorter than standard cylinders while maintaining robust performance.
Made from aerospace-grade aluminum with hard anodization, they can operate at 0.05-1.0MPa (7-145 psi) to produce a maximum thrust of 90N. Pre-lubricated seals ensure maintenance-free operation, and integrated magnetic fields allow for sensor mounting.
These cylinders are compatible with SMC's modular accessory system, which includes guides, valves, and mounting brackets.

Zero-Leakage Seals: X271 FKM compound, <0.1mL/min leakage @0.5MPa
Applications:
Electronics Manufacturing
Micro-Component Handling: 5-15mm short-stroke models enable precision pick-and-place of 0201 SMD components in PCB assembly, achieving ±0.05mm repeatability.
Laser Marking Systems: 20-30mm strokes drive marking heads with position feedback via D-M9N sensors, ensuring alignment accuracy under 0.1mm deviation.
Medical & Laboratory Equipment
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.
