Smc SMC NCDJPB10-100D Pin Air Cylinder, Compact, Double Acting, Basic Style Mounting, Switch Ready, Rubber Cushion, 3/8" Bore OD, 1" Stroke, 0.197" Rod OD, 10-32 UNF

This SMC double-acting NCJP Series air cylinder has a compact pin-style body, basic-style mounting, and comes "switch ready" for connecting to mechanical proximity and limit switches for precise timing in automated applications. The air cylinder (also called a pneumatic cylinder) has a brass body for high corrosion resistance, and it comes with a single piston rod made of stainless steel. The double-acting air cylinder uses airflow through two air ports on opposite ends of the cylinder barrel to push out and retract the piston rod to produce continued movement. The pin cylinder has rubber bumpers (cushions) inside the cylinder barrel to absorb kinetic energy and to dampen the sound of the piston striking the end caps. This air cylinder is "switch ready" with a magnet sensor installed for connecting to an electrical circuit for pneumatic automation. The air cylinder has basic-style mounting and includes a mounting nut to hold any added brackets (sold separately) in place. The maximum pressure of the pneumatic cylinder is 100 pounds per square inch (psi), and it has a temperature range of 14 to 140 degrees F. This non-repairable air cylinder, with its minimal mounting space needs and short stroke length, is suitable for use in linear applications in cramped spaces. Pneumatic actuators fall into two classes: linear and rotary. Linear actuators move objects in straight lines, while rotary actuators turn objects, or rotate them in varying directions. Air cylinders (also called pneumatic cylinders), the most common type of linear actuators, use pressurized air to pull and push piston rods in and out of cylinder barrels. This motion moves mechanisms connected to the rods, or (for detached items) directs or blocks travel using rod-attached plates. Air cylinders execute pushing, pulling, lifting, lowering, pressing, and stopping functions, and they come in several different body types, including round, compact, tie-rod, guided, slide, and clamp. Pneumatic cylinders can be either single acting, with one compressed air port to push the rod in a single direction and a spring to return the rod, or double acting, with two compressed air ports on opposite ends of the cylinder to both extend and retract the rod. For quieter piston operation, air cylinders can come with cushioning in one or both ends of their barrels. Several mounting styles are available both for attaching the air cylinder ends to moving components in a pneumatic system and for mounting to rigid surfaces. Air cylinders are used in industrialized automation tasks in automotive, food processing, material handling, and robotics applications, among others.
