Overview
The SMC CP96SDB32-320 is a ISO 15552-compliant double-acting pneumatic cylinder from SMC’s CP96 series. The CP96 profile design ISO cylinder with enclosed tie rods is available in 6 bore sizes from ø32 to ø125mm. This model combines precision engineering with robust construction, delivering reliable performance in demanding industrial applications.
Key Features
- Double-acting design with both air and bumper cushioning reduces the length of the cushion stroke, reducing cycle time and noise at the end of the stroke.
- High accuracy covers and tie rod nuts improve mounting accuracy and extend the cylinder life.
- Increased precision of the bushing and piston rod, as well as reduced tolerances, has decreased the deflection of the piston rod.
- CP96-C cylinder bodies are grooved on four sides to allow the easy fitting of CNOMO or SMC M9 and A9 position sensors, which can simply be slid into position from either end of the profile actuator body.
- Compact, profile design suitable for space-constrained installations.
- Standard strokes range from 25 to 800mm.
Technical Specifications
The SMC CP96SDB32-320 offers consistent performance across standard industrial pneumatic systems.
Typical Applications
This cylinder is ideal for automated machinery, industrial assembly lines, material handling equipment, and process automation requiring precise linear motion with controlled deceleration. The tie-rod construction and dual cushioning make it suitable for high-cycle repetitive operations where noise and impact reduction are important.
