SMCType CP96 Series: The Advanced ISO 15552 Profile Cylinder


The SMC CP96 series is a high-performance standard cylinder designed to meet the ISO 15552 international standard. It features a modern, clean "Profile" design where the tie-rods are fully enclosed within the aluminum body. This not only provides a sleek appearance but also prevents dust accumulation and makes the cylinder ideal for applications requiring high hygiene standards.


Key Technical Features & Innovation

  • Enclosed Tie-Rod (Profile) Design: The smooth surface of the CP96 prevents dirt buildup and allows for easy cleaning. It is significantly lighter than traditional tie-rod cylinders, reducing the overall weight of the machinery.

  • Advanced Cushioning System: The CP96 combines an adjustable air cushion with a rubber bumper at the end of the stroke. This "dual cushioning" eliminates metal-to-metal noise and vibrations, ensuring ultra-smooth deceleration and longer service life.

  • Integrated Auto-Switch Slots: All four sides of the profile barrel feature integrated T-slots. This allows SMC D-M9 and D-A9 auto-switches to be mounted flush with the cylinder body, protecting them from mechanical damage and saving space.

  • High Precision & Low Friction: Utilizing SMC’s world-class sealing technology, the CP96 offers low starting pressure and consistent linear motion even at high speeds.
