SMC CDQ2B32-50DM-J79L Compact Pneumatic Cylinder 32mm Bore 50mm Stroke 1.0 MPa

SMC CDQ2B32-50DM-J79L Compact Pneumatic Cylinder 32mm Bore 50mm Stroke 1.0 MPa

The SMC CDQ2B32-50DM-J79L is a double acting, single rod compact pneumatic cylinder from SMC's CQ2/CDQ2B series — one of the most widely used families of compact air cylinders in industrial automation. With a 32mm bore and 50mm stroke, it is designed for space-constrained applications where a standard profile cylinder would not fit, while still delivering full pneumatic actuation force. Made in Japan by SMC Corporation, a global leader in pneumatic components.

Applications

SMC's CDQ2B series compact cylinders are a standard component in industrial automation and machine-building applications worldwide. The compact body profile makes them well suited for pick-and-place assemblies, clamping fixtures, part transfer mechanisms, and other pneumatic actuation tasks where envelope space is limited. The 32mm bore size provides a practical balance of force and size for light to medium duty automation tasks. These cylinders are commonly found in semiconductor handling equipment, packaging machinery, robotic end-of-arm tooling, and general factory automation systems. SMC introduced the CQ2 series to address the growing demand for smaller, lighter actuators in high-density machine designs, and the CDQ2B variant with through-hole mounting has remained a production staple in manufacturing environments since the 1990s.
