SMC Corporation NCDQ2A50-50DZ Compact Cylinder

SMC NCDQ2A50-50DZ is a space-saving pneumatic cylinder that houses a 50 mm bore and a 50 mm stroke in a compact aluminum body from the NCQ2-Z family. The unit uses 1/4 in NPT air ports and provides mounting pads via tapped holes for straightforward installation in tight assemblies. As a double-acting cylinder, it delivers bidirectional actuation well suited to short-stroke tasks such as pick-and-place, part transfer between stations, and fixture actuation where space is at a premium. Its standardized dimensions and port configuration support quick replacement or upgrades within existing pneumatic circuits, while the aluminum construction helps keep weight down without compromising rigidity. The NCDQ2A50-50DZ designation reflects a 50x50 compact cylinder in the NCQ2-Z series, aligning with common SMC mounting conventions and enabling reliable, repeatable motion in compact automation cells.
