SMC Heavy-Duty Air Cylinders — CA2 Tie-Rod Series
A rugged, lightweight tie-rod air cylinder built for demanding industrial duty, with fine end-of-stroke cushioning adjustment and a wide range of mounting and auto-switch options. Supplied by Pankaj Enterprises as part of the genuine SMC pneumatic automation range.
Product Description
SMC's CA2 series is a lightweight tie-rod air cylinder engineered for heavy-duty industrial applications, offering fine end-of-stroke cushioning adjustment through an expanded air-cushion range. The series can be ordered with rod-end or rear-pivot mounting brackets and supports a wide range of options, including non-rotating rod, low-friction, smooth-cylinder and high-temperature-resistant variants. Supplied by Pankaj Enterprises as a genuine SMC product for machine builders and industrial buyers across India.
- Tie-rod construction with a large bore range (40 to 100 mm) suited to demanding load and force requirements
- Fine air-cushion adjustment at both ends of stroke reduces impact and extends service life
- Available as double-rod (CA2W), non-rotating rod (CA2K), smooth/low-speed (CA2Y) and low-friction (CA2*Q) variants
- Compatible with a wide range of SMC auto switches, including compact and magnetic-field-resistant types
Applications
- Heavy material handling and clamping in industrial machinery
- Press and stamping equipment requiring robust cylinder force
- Conveyor stoppers, pushers and transfer mechanisms
- Packaging machinery handling higher loads
- Machine tool fixturing and workholding
- General heavy-duty factory automation requiring long strokes and large bores
