Overview
The SMC CDM2B25-50 is a standard double-acting pneumatic cylinder from SMC’s CM2 series. This compact cylinder features a 25mm bore diameter and 50mm stroke length, designed for reliable linear motion control in industrial automation. The unit is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi), making it suitable for light to medium-duty pneumatic applications requiring precise positioning and force generation.
Key Features
- Double-acting design enables power in both extension and retraction strokes
- Built-in magnet for compatibility with proximity sensors and auto-switches
- Double-side bossed (B) mounting with rod-end male thread Rc1/8″ connections
- Rubber bumper included for shock absorption at end-of-stroke
- Compact round body design ideal for space-constrained installations
- Operating temperature range: -10°C to +70°C for standard industrial environments
