Overview
The SMC CDM2D25-50 is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder from SMC’s proven CDM2 series. This pneumatic cylinder combines a 25mm bore with a compact 50mm stroke, delivering consistent performance in tight-space automation applications. Built with SMC’s magnetic piston rod and integral air-cushion design, the CDM2D25-50 ensures smooth operation and extended service life across motion control, clamping, and material-handling tasks.
