CP96SDB100-125C: ISO Standard Cylinder, The Lightweight, High-Performance International Power Unit
2026-02-25
Product Positioning
The CP96SDB100-125C is a double-acting, single-rod standard cylinder from SMC’s CP96 Series, conforming to the ISO 15552 standard. This series integrates key advantages like a lightweight design,卓越 cushioning performance, and international standard compatibility. It combines an integrated closed barrel and tie-rod structure, innovative cushioning technology, and high-precision manufacturing. As a core linear motion actuator providing powerful thrust in automated production lines, it is widely used in automotive manufacturing, packaging machinery, heavy assembly, and various industrial scenarios requiring international standard interfaces.
Core Highlights: Lightweight Efficiency, Cushioned Noise Reduction
ISO 15552 International Standard for Global Compatibility
Fully compliant with ISO 15552 (formerly ISO 6431, VDMA 24562), its mounting dimensions and interfaces are fully interchangeable with other major international cylinder brands, facilitating global sourcing and equipment export.
The 100mm bore, one of the largest in the CP96 series, provides powerful linear driving force.
Lightweight Design for Energy Savings
Through structural optimization and high-precision machining, weight is reduced by up to 15% compared to conventional products. This significantly lowers overall equipment load and moving mass, enabling energy-efficient and high-speed operation.
Innovative Composite Cushioning for Quiet, High-Speed Operation
The suffix “C” indicates a composite structure featuring both air cushioning and cushion pads on both ends.
- The air cushion effectively absorbs the majority of kinetic energy.
- The cushion pads eliminate the metallic impact noise when the piston stops.
This innovative combination significantly shortens cycle times while achieving soft, quiet stops, improving the working environment.
Precision Manufacturing for Extended Longevity
High-precision end covers and tie-rod nuts enhance mounting accuracy and extend cylinder life. Precision-machined guide bushings and the piston rod minimize rod runout, ensuring linear accuracy and sealing reliability during long-term, high-frequency reciprocating motion. The main body is made of aluminum alloy, balancing lightweight construction with structural strength.
Built-in Magnet for Intelligent Control
The “D” in the model number signifies a built-in magnet (for magnetic switches, switch not included). This allows users to select and mount magnetic switches as needed for non-contact piston position detection and feedback, facilitating integration with PLCs and other control systems.
Wide Operating Range, Robust Performance
With an operating pressure range of 0.05 to 1.0 MPa and a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa, it adapts to various conditions from low-pressure startup to high-pressure driving. The operating piston speed of 50 to 1000 mm/s meets the cycle time requirements of most automation applications.
