SMC CDA2D40-100Z CA2-Z Air Cylinder, 40mm Bore, 100mm Stroke, Double Clevis
SMCThe SMC CDA2D40-100Z is a CA2-Z series double-acting, single-rod tie-rod air cylinder with a 40 mm bore and 100 mm stroke in a double clevis mounting. It carries a built-in magnet for auto switch mounting and ships with SMC's standard air cushion on both ends. The CA2-Z generation runs up to 15% lighter than the prior CA2 through a redesigned rod and head cover, with a wider air-cushion adjustment range for finer end-of-stroke control.
Current-production successor to the discontinued CDA2D40-100. Same 40 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, and double clevis mounting - specify the CDA2D40-100Z.
Key features
- Weight reduced by up to 15% versus prior CA2
- Easy air cushion control with wider adjustment range
- Compact and magnetic-field-resistant auto switches can be mounted
- Available with rod-end and/or pivot brackets built into the part number (no separate bracket order required)
- Built-in magnet (CDA2) - double clevis mounting for pivoting/oscillating loads

Replacing CDA2D40-100
If you previously specified CDA2D40-100, the CDA2D40-100Z is the direct current-production replacement. Bore (40 mm), stroke (100 mm), and double clevis mounting are unchanged; the CA2-Z redesign lightens the cylinder and widens the cushion adjustment range while keeping the same mounting interface. For pivoting installations with tight clearance, confirm the rod-cover and head-cover envelope against the current SMC drawing before finalizing.
Specifying in a new design
Double clevis mounting suits loads that swing or pivot through the stroke. If your load travels in a fixed linear path, a rod-flange (F), foot (L), or basic (B) mount will locate the cylinder more rigidly - see the matching CA2-Z configurations. Add a switch model to the part number (for example -M9BL for two solid state 2-wire switches with 3 m leads) to ship with position sensing pre-mounted.

FAQ
What replaced the SMC CDA2D40-100?
The CDA2D40-100Z. It is the same 40 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, double clevis cylinder in SMC's current weight-reduced CA2-Z design.
Is CDA2D40-100Z interchangeable with CDA2D40-100?
Yes - same bore, stroke, and mounting. The Z design changes cover geometry to cut weight, so confirm the envelope on tight installs.
Does it include auto switches?
It has a built-in magnet but no switches in this part number. Order switches separately, or specify a switch suffix (for example CDA2D40-100Z-M9BL).
