CDQ2B12-15DZ Applications
Used where actuator length must be kept to a minimum: clamping, pressing, part transfer, stopper and lifter mechanisms on small assembly jigs, PCB handling cells and packaging machines. The 12 mm bore with 15 mm stroke suits light short-travel motions such as gate stops, pin locators and small pushers. The built-in magnet lets D-series auto switches drop into the body grooves for end-of-stroke position feedback without any projection beyond the cylinder profile, so the unit fits inside tight tooling envelopes.
