SMC CDBA2F100-250-HL-Y7NWL End Lock Pneumatic Cylinder 100mm Bore 250mm

SMC CDBA2F100-250-HL-Y7NWL End Lock Pneumatic Cylinder 100mm Bore 250mm

The SMC CDBA2F100-250-HL-Y7NWL is a heavy-duty double-acting pneumatic cylinder from SMC Corporation's CDBA2F series, featuring a 100mm bore diameter, a 250mm linear stroke, and an integrated end lock mechanism that mechanically holds the piston rod in position when air pressure is released. The cylinder is rated to a maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa and was manufactured in Japan. This unit came from a large automated machine used to pick up and position flexible solar modules and saw very low service time during its working life.

Applications

SMC's CDBA2F series are large-bore, high-force pneumatic cylinders built for demanding industrial automation tasks where both significant thrust and secure positional locking are needed. The end lock (HL) option is used in applications where the rod must remain mechanically fixed in place during power loss, e-stop events, or between machine cycles — without relying solely on air pressure to hold position. This makes them common in material handling equipment, press and clamping fixtures, pick-and-place automation, and panel or substrate handling systems such as the solar module handling machine this unit came from. SMC is a globally recognized pneumatic components manufacturer, and the CDBA2F series is designed to ISO and JIS cylinder standards, making it compatible with a wide range of pneumatic circuits and valve configurations.
