SMC Corporation NCDBX2N15-100-A73L Guided Cylinder

SMC NCDBX2N15-100-A73L Guided Cylinder is a compact 15 mm bore, 100 mm stroke double-acting guided pneumatic cylinder with a slide-switch housing for mounting an auto switch. It belongs to SMC’s CX2/CDBX2 family and uses a slide bearing to keep the rod aligned and minimize side loads during travel, delivering reliable, precise motion in automated equipment. Rated for a maximum operating pressure of 150 psi, this sensor-ready cylinder is designed to pair with SMC auto switches in the A73L family through its integrated switch housing, enabling straightforward on-board sensing for end-of-stroke or position feedback. In practice, the NCDBX2N15-100-A73L supports common automation tasks such as packaging, assembly, and material handling where compact guided actuation and reliable sensing improve cycle consistency and throughput. The N15 designation indicates a 15 mm bore with a 100 mm stroke, consistent with base configurations listed in distributor catalogs such as CDBX2N15-100, and the A73L suffix aligns with the auto-switch family used for sensing in these guided cylinders. Engineers choose this model when a guided cylinder with integrated switch mounting is required in tight spaces and where repeatable travel and sensor integration are priorities.
