CDQ2B16-5DZ Applications

With only 5 mm of travel in a 16 mm bore, this is a true short-stroke actuator for fine clamping, hold-down, blocking, stop-gate and micro-indexing duties where the tool needs to move just a few millimetres. The very short stroke keeps the overall body extremely compact, letting it drop into dense fixtures and small workheads. The rod end has a female thread for a screwed-in stud or tool tip, and the built-in magnet allows auto switches in the body grooves to confirm both end positions.
