*1: Water resistant type auto switches can be mounted on the above models, but the water resistance cannot be guaranteed.
Contact the SMC support center regarding water-resistant types for the above model numbers.
*2: For the 1‑m lead wire type only D-A93 is supported.

*Lead wire length symbols

0.5 m: Nil; Example: M9NW
1 m: M; Example: M9NWM
3 m: L; Example: M9NWL
5 m: Z; Example: M9NWZ
None: N; Example: J79CN

*Solid state auto switches marked with ○ are produced to order.
*Aside from those models listed above, there are other applicable auto switches.
*When mounting ø32 to 63‑mm D-A9□(V), M9□(V), M9□W(V), M9□A(V)L types on a side other than the port side, order auto switch mounting brackets separately.
*Auto switches are shipped together (but not assembled).

*Cylinders with strokes other than standard can be custom ordered. Contact the SMC support center for details.
Take extra care with eccentric loads applied to the rod when the stroke is 100 mm or more and there is a bore size of 12 mm.

Usage precautions

Cannot be used in environments exposed to fluids (water, oil, coolant, etc.)
Special order types with a scraper are available. Contact the SMC support center for details. (ø32 to 63 mm)
For ø12‑mm and ø20‑mm models, use the CEP1 Series with the scraper included as standard.
