SMC Corporation NCDQ2A20-5D Pneumatic Compact Cylinder

SMC NCDQ2A20-5D is a compact pneumatic cylinder with a 20 mm bore and a 5 mm stroke, designed for space‑constrained linear actuation in automation and packaging equipment. This double‑acting cylinder delivers repeatable short‑stroke motion and is configured with mounting at both ends via tapped holes, enabling flexible installation in tight machine layouts. The 20 mm bore provides a compact yet capable actuation profile for light‑duty positioning, clamping, or transfer tasks in small automation cells and fixtures. As part of SMC’s CQ2A/NCQ2 family of compact cylinders, the NCDQ2A20‑5D emphasizes straightforward integration with standard air supplies and common mounting accessories used in compact automation—without sacrificing reliability or precision in repetitive cycles. The 5 mm stroke suits applications that require quick, short advances and reliable retraction, while the double‑acting design ensures balanced performance under varying load directions. With its space‑saving form factor and solid actuation geometry, this model is well suited for constrained enclosures, control panels, or compact robotics setups where precise, repeatable travel is essential. For engineers designing tight, high‑density layouts, the NCDQ2A20‑5D provides a straightforward, readily available solution that pairs a modest stroke with dependable, dual‑direction air drive to achieve consistent positioning and actuation in compact machinery.
