SMC 10-CM2F32-100Z | Clean Room Standard Air Cylinder CM2 Series 32mm Bore 100mm Stroke Front Flange Mount Double-Acting Auto-Switch Ready

The SMC 10-CM2F32-100Z is a clean room specification standard air cylinder from the CM2 series with a 32mm bore, 100mm stroke, and front flange mounting. Part number decoded: CM2 = standard round body stainless tube cylinder, F = front flange mount, 32 = bore mm, 100 = stroke mm, Z = auto-switch groove. The F mount differentiator means this cylinder ships with an integrated front flange (rod-side) for direct panel or equipment frame mounting, eliminating the need for separate foot brackets or through-bolting.

Front flange mounting anchors the cylinder at the rod-side end, which is the preferred configuration when the cylinder body needs to extend away from the mounting surface and the push direction is toward the mounting plane. This is the ideal setup for pressing operations, pusher mechanisms, and applications where the rod extends downward or outward from a fixed frame. The front flange (F) mount provides rigid rod-side panel mounting without separate brackets, and the stainless steel tube resists corrosion in humid and washdown clean environments. The 32mm bore generates approximately 483N at 0.6 MPa, providing strong mid-range actuation force through 100mm of travel.

The CM2F32-100Z provides front flange mounting at 32mm bore. For basic through-hole mounting at the same bore/stroke, specify CM2B32-100Z. For rear (cap-side) flange, use CM2L32-100Z. All share identical performance specs — only the mounting interface differs for easy specification. For 32mm bore in a compact body, consider the CDQ2B32 compact square cylinder. Clean series (10-) fluorine grease, Particle Grade 1. CM2 bores from 20mm to 40mm. RoHS compliant. Compatible with D-series auto switches and AS speed controllers.
