SMC NCDA1B2001800 Double Acting Pneumatic Cylinder

The SMC NCDA1B2001800 is a tie-rod, double-acting pneumatic cylinder with a 2-inch bore and an 18-inch stroke, engineered for compact, high-trajectory linear actuation in automation equipment. As a double-acting air cylinder, it delivers both extend and retract motion from compressed air and is offered in a basic mounting configuration that simplifies installation in standard production setups. Built around a sturdy tie-rod construction for durability and straightforward alignment, this model provides reliable stroke travel within a small footprint. Core specifications include a 2" bore and 18" stroke, with a maximum operating pressure of 250 psi, enabling consistent performance across typical pneumatic systems. For users requiring sensing or enhanced motion characteristics, the magnet-equipped variant NCDA1B200-1800H adds a magnetic switch and head-end cushion, supporting easier position sensing and smoother operation in compact layouts. The 18-inch stroke offers ample travel for actuating fixtures, clamps, or transfer elements in limited spaces, while the 2-inch bore balances force generation with a compact form factor. This cylinder's combination of size, accessibility, and compatibility with standard tie-rod configurations makes it a practical choice for automation tasks where dependable, repeatable linear actuation is needed in packaging lines, assembly stations, or material handling conveyors.
