Air Cylinders

SMC's air cylinder portfolio is one of the most comprehensive in the industry, covering round body cylinders (C85/C96 series), compact cylinders (CQ2 series), slide cylinders (CQ2W), rodless cylinders (CY1 magnetically coupled), guided cylinders (MGPL/MGPM), and thin cylinders (CA2 series) for flat installation profiles. Bore sizes range from 6 mm to 320 mm with stroke lengths from 5 mm to 1000 mm, and all major series are available with auto-switch (proximity sensor) mounting grooves for position sensing. Non-rotating rod options and double-acting/single-acting configurations cover virtually all machine pneumatic cylinder requirements.
