Product Overview
The CQ2 series thin pneumatic cylinders are single-acting, compact linear actuators designed specifically for space-constrained automation applications. They cover bore sizes from 12 to 100 mm and support both spring‑return and spring‑eject operation modes. Operating with compressed air as the working medium, they deliver stable performance under standard pressure and temperature conditions, making them ideal for clamping, positioning, and pushing tasks in automated equipment where space is limited.
Operating Principle
- Spring‑return type: Air enters the rodless chamber to extend the piston; upon loss of air supply, the spring retracts the piston.
- Spring‑eject type: Air enters the rod side chamber to retract the piston; upon loss of air supply, the spring extends the piston.
- Compact, slim design reduces axial length, meeting installation requirements in tight spaces.
- Standardized port sizes allow direct connection to small pneumatic tubing, enabling quick air supply and motion control.
Key Advantages & Selling Points
- Comprehensive size range: Bore diameters from 12 mm to 100 mm, compatible with M5×0.8, G1/8", G1/4", and G3/8" ports, catering to diverse thrust and flow requirements.
- Two operating modes available: Spring‑return and spring‑eject single‑acting types, supporting unidirectional drive needs across various devices.
- Slim, compact design: Shorter axial length saves installation space, ideal for compact layouts in automated systems.
- Wide operating range: Maximum service pressure of 1.0 MPa (10.2 kgf/cm²), with a burst pressure rating of 1.5 MPa (15.3 kgf/cm²); operates reliably between 5–60°C, suitable for most industrial automation scenarios.
- Optional mounting and rod‑end threads: Rod ends can be threaded internally (standard) or externally (optional); mounting options include through‑hole (standard) or dual internal threads (optional), accommodating diverse installation and connection needs.
