SMC NCDQ2B16-20D Pneumatic Cylinder With Auto Switch

SMC CQ2B16-20D is a compact, Ø16 mm bore, double-acting pneumatic cylinder with a 20 mm stroke, designed for tight automation spaces. As part of the CQ2 family, it includes an auto switch and features auto-switch mounting grooves that allow the sensor to be mounted on any of four surfaces, replacing conventional rails and reducing protrusion for safer, neater installations. This design enables straightforward integration with SMC auto switches, including dual‑color solid-state options, to provide reliable end‑of‑stroke sensing without complex wiring. The four‑surface mounting flexibility makes it well suited for space‑constrained pick‑and‑place, clamping, and positioning tasks in automated lines, where compact size and dependable sensing are essential. Built to endure typical industrial use, the CQ2B16-20D combines compact footprint with practical mounting versatility, enabling quick configuration and consistent performance in a range of standard automation setups.
