SMC Corporation NCA1J325-0300 Pneumatic Cylinder

SMC NCA1J325-0300 is a NFPA-interchangeable tie-rod pneumatic cylinder from the NCA1 family, designed for reliable double-acting linear actuation in automation and production equipment. It features a 3.25-inch (82.6 mm) bore and a 3.0-inch (76.2 mm) stroke, delivering consistent stroke length and force for repetitive positioning, clamping, or transfer tasks in manufacturing lines. The NCA1 series is built for NFPA interchangeability, meaning it uses standard end fittings and mounting patterns common to many industrial cylinders, which simplifies replacement and system integration with other SMC components. The double-acting design provides actuation in both extend and retract directions, enabling controlled spacing and sequencing in automated assemblies. Typical applications include pick-and-place transfers, tooling clamping, or motion control in conveyed packaging lines, where compact, sturdy tie-rod construction is advantageous. This model, like other NCA1 cylinders, is designed to withstand the rigors of continuous operation in factory environments, with the broad compatibility of SMC's NFPA product family to simplify stocking and maintenance across multiple machines and lines.
