SMC CDQ2B1230DCZ (CDQ2B12-30DCZ) - Compact Air Cylinder, 12 mm Bore, 30 mm Stroke
SMC CDQ2B1230DCZ Compact Air Cylinder — 12 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, double acting single rod, body option C = WITH RUBBER BUMPER, built-in magnet, Z auto switch groove. SMC CQ2-Z Series compact air cylinder, standard type, double acting, single rod, with rubber bumper. Decoded and confirmed on the SMC WEB Catalog: D = built-in auto switch magnet, B = through-hole mounting (standard), 12 = 12 mm bore, blank port thread = Rc/M thread (M thread on 12-25 mm bores), 30 = 30 mm standard stroke, D = double acting, C = body option 'with rubber bumper' (cushioning at both stroke ends), Z = auto switch mounting groove (2 surfaces on 12-25 mm bores). This is the bumper-equipped sibling of CDQ2B12-30DZ. Official CQ2 catalog specifications for the pneumatic 12-100 mm bore range: fluid air; proof pressure 1.5 MPa; maximum operating pressure 1.0 MPa; minimum operating pressure 0.07 MPa (12-25 mm bore); ambient and fluid temperature -10 to 70 C without magnet, -10 to 60 C with magnet; non-lube; piston speed 50 to 500 mm/s; allowable kinetic energy at 12 mm bore: 0.022 J without cushion, 0.043 J with rubber bumper; stroke length tolerance +1.0/0 mm (excluding bumper change).

CDQ2B12-30DCZ Applications
Chosen where end-of-stroke impact and noise must be reduced: repetitive stop and clamp duties, pick-and-place tooling and small transfer stops running at high cycle rates. The rubber bumper roughly doubles the allowable kinetic energy compared with the uncushioned version, protecting the covers and the workpiece. With a 12 mm bore and the maximum 30 mm standard stroke, it suits compact push, lift and gate applications on assembly and packaging machinery, with D-series auto switches fitting into the body grooves.
