Overview
The SMC CDJ2B16-60Z-B is a standard type double acting single rod CJ2 series air cylinder designed for compact industrial automation and motion control applications. With a 16mm bore and 60mm stroke, it delivers reliable performance in space-constrained installations. The -Z designation in the model number indicates the lead wire length, and the built-in magnet supports auto switch capable configuration for position sensing and control integration.
Key Features
- Double foot, head flange and double-side bossed mounting types added for improved freedom in mounting
- Built-in magnet for easy auto switch position integration and fine adjustment
- Stainless steel tubing and stainless steel rods for corrosion resistance
- Rubber cushion suffix (-B) provides smooth deceleration at end of stroke
- Miniature cylinders available in spring extend, spring return, or double acting configurations
- Compact and lightweight design for space-efficient installations

Replaces / Drop-In Replacement For
The CDJ2B16-60Z-B is the standard configuration for the 16mm bore, 60mm stroke CJ2 series. Related part numbers with different auto switch or mounting options include CDJ2B16-60Z-M9P-B and CDJ2B16-60Z-M9BWM-B, but these are not direct drop-in replacements—verify auto switch type and mounting requirements before substitution.
Works With
- SMC D-M9BW auto switch (2 pcs., typically supplied separately)
- ISO 4401 valve bases and manifolds
- Standard pneumatic tubing and fittings (barbed, NPT, metric thread)
- PLC and industrial controller integration via discrete I/O or fieldbus (auto switch output)
