Overview
The SMC CDM2D25-50Z is a double-acting compact pneumatic cylinder from SMC’s CDM2D series, featuring a built-in magnet for proximity detection. With a 25mm bore and 50mm stroke, this cylinder is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 1.00 MPa (145 psi). The integrated magnet enables direct coupling with magnetic position sensors without additional external switch mounting, reducing installation complexity and improving system reliability.
Key Features
- Built-in magnet for proximity detection and automated position feedback
- Compact round body design saves installation space
- Double-acting operation for controlled extension and retraction
- Rated for 1.00 MPa (145 psi) maximum operating pressure
- Compatible with magnetic proximity switches and sensor systems
- Sealed construction for reliable operation in industrial environments
