SMC 10-CDQ2B12-15DCMZ | 10-/11-CQ2-Z Series Clean Room Compact Cylinder 12mm Bore 15mm Stroke Double Acting Both Ends Tapped

The SMC 10-CDQ2B12-15DCMZ is a clean room specification compact cylinder from the 10-/11-CQ2-Z series, configured with a 12mm bore and 15mm stroke in a square-profile, low-height body design. The CQ2 series is SMC's compact cylinder line, offering significantly reduced height compared to round body cylinders at the same bore size, enabling installation in tight spaces where standard cylinder height would cause interference with adjacent components or equipment enclosures.

What does the "DCM" suffix indicate? The "D" designates double acting operation (both extend and retract powered by air pressure), the "C" indicates both rod and body ends are tapped (threaded mounting holes on both sides of the cylinder), and the "M" specifies a particular port or mounting option. Both-ends-tapped construction provides maximum mounting flexibility, allowing the cylinder to be attached from either end or through-bolted for high-rigidity installations.

The 12mm bore and 15mm stroke create an ultra-compact actuator with minimal footprint for micro-mechanism actuation in semiconductor handling equipment, electronics assembly stations, and clean room test fixtures. The compact cylinder's square body profile with integrated mounting holes enables direct panel mounting without additional brackets.

The "10-" clean series ensures fluorine grease, controlled assembly, and particle generation grade 1 compliance. The "-Z" specification denotes clean series manufacturing standards. RoHS compliant and designed for integration with SMC clean series valves and speed controllers.
