SMC CDQ2A1610DZ (CDQ2A16-10DZ) - Compact Air Cylinder, 16 mm Bore, 10 mm Stroke
SMC CDQ2A1610DZ Compact Air Cylinder — 16 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, D double acting with no C or M body option (no cushion, rod end female thread), both-ends-tapped mount, built-in magnet. SMC CDQ2A16-10DZ is a CQ2-Z series standard compact cylinder, double acting, single rod, with a 16 mm bore and 10 mm stroke. The leading D denotes a built-in magnet for auto switch mounting. Mounting code A is both ends tapped. Action code D is double acting. No body option letter follows the D, so the cylinder is supplied without a rubber bumper and with the standard rod end female thread. The trailing Z is the CQ2-Z auto switch mounting groove, provided on 2 surfaces for bores 12 to 25 mm. Fluid is air, proof pressure 1.5 MPa, maximum operating pressure 1.0 MPa, minimum operating pressure 0.07 MPa, piston speed 50 to 500 mm/s, lubrication not required. Allowable kinetic energy without cushion at 16 mm bore is 0.038 J.

CDQ2A16-10DZ Applications
A very short-travel 16 mm bore compact cylinder for clamping, locking, pin-indexing and small ejector duties where only 10 mm of movement is required and the actuator must sit inside a shallow fixture plate. Both-ends-tapped mounting means it can be screwed down from either cover face, which is often the deciding factor in dense tooling. Supplied without a bumper, so keep piston speeds and moving mass moderate or add speed controllers at the ports. The built-in magnet allows D-M9 series auto switches in the body groove for clamp-confirmation signals to the PLC.
