SMC Corporation NCA1J400-0400 Pneumatic Cylinder

SMC NCA1J400-0400 is a 4-inch bore, 4-inch stroke NFPA-interchangeable tie-rod pneumatic cylinder designed for robust linear actuation in automation and material-handling setups. This double-acting cylinder from the NCA1 family uses a standard NFPA footprint, enabling easy cross-compatibility with mounting accessories and end-caps across a wide range of machines. Rated for operating pressures up to 250 psi, it delivers reliable force at typical shop-air pressures and supports push/pull cycles essential to pick-and-place, clamping, and transfer tasks. The tie-rod construction provides rigidity for longer strokes and higher load applications while maintaining serviceability and replacement part availability through SMC's NCA1 series. With 4 in. bore and 4 in. stroke, the cylinder offers a compact yet energetic actuator suitable for compact automation cells, fixture actuation, and material-handling lines. Its NFPA-compatible design simplifies field modifications and component upgrades, making it a common choice in OEM and aftermarket installations where standardized mounting and interchangeability are priorities.
