Product Overview
SMC C02Z12-GEU002-10 CQ2-Z Compact Cylinder – Unused, New Old Stock
The SMC C02Z12-GEU002-10 is a CQ2-Z series compact pneumatic cylinder designed for precise linear motion in space-limited automation equipment. With a 12 mm bore and short stroke configuration, it fits cleanly into small fixtures, pick-and-place assemblies, and semiconductor or electronics handling systems.
SMC’s CQ2-Z platform is known for its modularity and wide range of build-to-order configurations. This model reflects that flexibility, combining CQ2 geometry with suffix codes that indicate custom porting, mounting, and specification options defined through SMC’s catalog and configurator.
Product Condition
Unused, new old stock, clean and in excellent condition, without the manufacturer's packaging.
Product Overview
The cylinder series incorporates a double-acting design for bidirectional motion, delivering stable force output from low to full working pressures. A 12 mm bore size keeps the form factor extremely compact while maintaining enough thrust for high-cycle automation tasks. Stroke length in this configuration is typically around 10 mm, as suggested by the “-10” suffix.
The CQ2-Z body uses an extruded aluminum profile with four auto-switch grooves, allowing sensors to be added on any face for position feedback. Ports for a 12 mm bore are normally M5, and the GEU002 options may include specific thread standards or material/seal combinations, depending on the original build order. The cylinder’s weight falls below 100 g in most 12 mm configurations, allowing it to mount on light tooling plates or directly onto motion stages.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do the GEU002-10 suffixes mean?
The codes indicate build-to-order specifications such as port type, stroke, or seal options. Exact decoding requires SMC’s configurator output or the original datasheet.
Is this cylinder double-acting?
Yes. The C02Z12 configuration corresponds to a double-acting, single-rod CQ2-Z model.
What mounting options does the CQ2-Z platform support?
Through-holes in the body, brackets, and face-mount plates are all common, depending on the equipment layout.
Can I add magnetic auto switches?
Yes. CQ2-Z cylinders include switch grooves on four sides for flexible sensor placement.
The C02Z12-GEU002-10 carries the CQ2-Z series’ hallmark: compact geometry, reliable motion, and adaptability across specialized builds. It’s ready to take on tight-tolerance moves in your next automation design.
