SMC CDQ2B1230DZ (CDQ2B12-30DZ) - Compact Air Cylinder, 12 mm Bore, 30 mm Stroke
SMC CDQ2B1230DZ Compact Air Cylinder — 12 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, double acting single rod, standard rod end female thread, NO rubber bumper, built-in magnet, Z auto switch groove. SMC CQ2-Z Series compact air cylinder, standard type, double acting, single rod. 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 (the longest standard stroke for the 12 mm bore), D = double acting, blank body option = standard rod end female thread without rubber bumper, Z = auto switch mounting groove (2 surfaces on 12-25 mm bores). Distinguish from CDQ2B12-30DCZ, which adds the C rubber bumper. 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 0.022 J without cushion; stroke length tolerance +1.0/0 mm.

CDQ2B12-30DZ Applications
The longest standard stroke offered in the 12 mm bore CQ2, useful when a slightly greater travel is needed but the mounting depth is still tight: small slide advance, clamp opening, part ejection and gate movement on assembly and packaging equipment. Without a bumper it is intended for moderate-speed, low-inertia loads or where an external shock absorber or stop already handles the impact. Body grooves on two faces accept D-series auto switches for stroke-end detection.
