SMC US19730 Single Acting Pneumatic Cylinder 20mm Bore

SMC US19730 is a compact single-acting pneumatic cylinder designed for precise, short-stroke linear actuation in automated systems. It features a Ø20 mm bore and a 12 mm stroke, delivering reliable travel in a small footprint. Rated for a maximum operating pressure of 145 psi (1 MPa), the cylinder uses a 1/8 in NPT air port for straightforward connections. As a single-acting cylinder, it provides forward actuation when pressurized air is supplied, with retraction governed by the system's configuration. The 20 mm bore yields moderate actuating force suitable for light-duty positioning, clamping, stops, or indexing tasks in packaging, electronics assembly, or other compact automation applications where space is limited. The compact form factor enables mounting in tight zones and compatibility with common pneumatic fittings and mounting options from SMC. When selecting, ensure the required stroke (12 mm) and the allowable cycle rate align with your application constraints and that the operating pressure in your system does not exceed 145 psi.
