SMC NCDQ2KB40-100D Double Acting Pneumatic Cylinder

SMC NCDQ2KB40-100D is a compact double-acting pneumatic cylinder with a 40 mm bore and a 100 mm stroke, rated for operating pressure up to 145 psi. This actuator is designed for automated equipment where space is limited, delivering reliable, repeatable linear motion across standard cycles while minimizing overall machine footprint. In a double-acting configuration, air pressure is applied to opposite sides of the piston to produce both extension and retraction movements, controlled by a pneumatic valve, solenoid valve, or manifold, enabling precise sequencing of motions in compact automation cells. The 100 mm stroke provides a moderate travel distance suitable for compact indexing, clamping, push-pull transfers, or fixture actuation in lines where headroom is constrained. When integrating this model, verify that the available air supply can sustain the required pressure and flow, check mounting compatibility with your design, and plan for appropriate seals, lubricants, and maintenance intervals to ensure consistent performance over time.
