SMC 10-CDQ2B32TF-75DZ | Clean Room Compact Cylinder CQ2 Series 32mm Bore 75mm Stroke Non-Rotating Rod Double-Acting Auto-Switch Ready

The SMC 10-CDQ2B32TF-75DZ is a clean room specification compact cylinder with non-rotating rod from the CQ2 series, featuring a 32mm bore and 75mm stroke. Part number decoded: CDQ2 = compact cylinder, B = basic mount, 32 = bore mm, TF = non-rotating piston rod (prevents rod rotation during stroke), 75 = stroke mm, D = double-acting, Z = auto-switch groove. The non-rotating rod (TF suffix) is the key differentiator — it prevents angular displacement of the rod during extension and retraction, maintaining precise alignment of end-effector tooling attached to the rod tip.

Why does rod rotation matter? In applications where tooling, grippers, or fixtures are mounted directly to the cylinder rod, uncontrolled rod rotation causes misalignment between cycles. The TF non-rotating mechanism uses an internal guide to lock the rod's angular position, ensuring repeatable orientation throughout millions of cycles. This is critical for precision placement and oriented insertion tasks in clean room automation. The square compact body saves height versus round cylinders for confined clean room equipment, and the magnetic piston supports SMC D-series auto switch position sensing.

The 32mm bore generates approximately 483N at 0.6 MPa through a 75mm stroke, operating at 0.05 to 1.0 MPa. For the same bore without non-rotating rod, the standard CDQ2B32-75DZ provides identical force and stroke at lower cost. For non-rotating rod in smaller bores, see CDQ2B20TF or CDQ2B25TF variants. For non-rotating rod in other bore sizes, SMC offers TF variants across the CQ2 range from 12mm to 100mm bore. Clean series (10-) with fluorine grease, particle generation grade 1. Compatible with SMC D-series auto switches, AS speed controllers. RoHS compliant.
