SMC CDJ2E16 100Z-B Air Cylinder

SMC CDJ2E16-100Z-B Air Cylinder is a mini pneumatic cylinder belonging to the CJ2-Z series, featuring a round design, double acting, specialized for automation systems requiring high precision and compact dimensions.

SMC CDJ2E16-100Z-B Specifications:

• Piston bore: 16 mm.
• Stroke: 100 mm.
• Action type: Double acting, single rod.
• Operating fluid: Compressed air.
• Working pressure: ~0.06 – 0.7 MPa
• Operating temperature: -10°C to 70°C
• Cushion: Rubber cushion
• Built-in magnet: Yes (used with magnetic sensors)
• Material: Stainless steel (inox) corrosion resistant

Key Features of CDJ2E16-100Z-B

• Stainless Steel Body: The outer casing is made of stainless steel for excellent corrosion resistance, suitable for environments with high humidity or clean requirements.
• Built-in Magnetic Ring: The letter "C" at the beginning of the code allows you to install magnetic sensors (such as D-M9B, D-M9N series...) onto the cylinder body to detect piston position without complex custom brackets.
• Z-Version Design: SMC has optimized the design to make the cylinder lighter than the old series, while the sensor bracket is designed neatly without increasing the overall dimensions.
• Compact Size: With a 16mm bore, this is an ideal choice for gripping and pushing small components in narrow spaces.

Practical Applications

The CDJ2E16-100Z-B cylinder is widely trusted in:

• Electronic Assembly Machines: Pushing component trays or fixing product positions on conveyors.
• Packaging Industry: Opening and closing box lids or pushing defective products off the production line.
• Medical Equipment: Translational movement in automated testing machines thanks to clean stainless steel material.
• Robot Arms: Acting as a gripper or auxiliary lifting mechanism.

Notes for Installation and Use

1. Air Quality: Use clean, dry, and lubricated compressed air (if necessary). However, this series can operate without lubrication oil (Non-lube).
2. Sensor Installation: Since the cylinder has a magnetic ring, choose the correct SMC D-M9 series sensor code to ensure the best sensitivity through the stainless steel shell.
3. Avoid Side Load: Round body cylinders with small piston rods should not be subjected to direct side loads on the piston rod, as this will bend the rod or damage the seals. Guide mechanisms should be used if there is a side load.
4. Thread Check: When installing into fixtures using the body thread (E-type), ensure the threads are securely tightened to prevent vibration from loosening the cylinder during high-speed operation.

SMC CDJ2E16-100Z-B Air Cylinder is the perfect combination of durable stainless steel material and magnetic position control technology. With a 100mm stroke, it provides a sufficient travel distance for many automation applications while maintaining compactness for your machinery.
