SMC CJ2816-30Z CJ2 Series Double-Acting Miniature Cylinder

Core Features

• ✓  Dual-acting drive: Utilizing pneumatic control to extend and retract the piston, it achieves bidirectional work, ensuring reliable operation.
• ✓  Compact and lightweight design: Its miniaturized design and light weight make it ideal for installation in space-constrained automated equipment.
• ✓  Precise position detection: Compatible with magnetic switches (the "Z" in the model number usually indicates this function), allowing for precise piston position detection and facilitating automated control.
• ✓  Durability and cushioning: Typically employing stainless steel cylinders and piston rods for enhanced durability, the built-in rubber cushion absorbs the impact at the end of the piston's stroke, resulting in smoother and quieter operation.

Q: What equipment or scenarios are CJ2816-30Z cylinders suitable for?

A: This model (CJ2 series, 16mm cylinder bore) is ideal for installation in space-constrained automated equipment. It is primarily used in precision electronic assembly, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, small workpiece handling, and robot end effectors requiring precise push-pull or clamping movements.

Q: What are its speed characteristics? Is it suitable for high-speed applications?

A: Very suitable. This series of cylinders is designed to support piston speeds up to 750 mm/s. With the selection of a specification with air cushioning, speeds can even reach 1000 mm/s, meeting the high-speed, high-frequency motion requirements of most automated production lines.

Q: Can a magnetic switch be installed to detect piston position?

A: Yes. The "Z" in the model number usually indicates a specification with a built-in magnetic ring (such as the CDJ2 series), allowing direct installation of a magnetic switch to detect piston position and achieve automated control. SMC offers two magnetic switch mounting options: steel strip mounting and DIN rail mounting, allowing users to easily adjust the position.
