Smc Pneumatics NCDGBN63-0100 Rodless Air Cylinder

Product Description

The SMC PNEUMATICS NCDGBN63-0100 is a double acting rodless pneumatic air cylinder designed for linear motion applications in industrial automation, manufacturing, and mechanical handling systems. With a 2.5-inch (63 mm) bore and a 1-inch stroke, this cylinder delivers controlled, bidirectional actuation up to 140 psi maximum working pressure. The aluminum alloy body keeps weight low at 3.59 pounds while maintaining structural rigidity. A 1/4 NPT port provides straightforward connection to standard pneumatic supply lines. Licensed pneumatic system technicians and industrial maintenance professionals are the typical installers for this class of component.

This cylinder is suited for compact linear motion tasks where a traditional rod-style cylinder is impractical due to space constraints or load overhang concerns. The rodless design allows the load to travel along the cylinder body rather than extending on a rod, making it appropriate for guided slide assemblies, pick-and-place fixtures, and material transfer stages in light industrial environments. The basic mount style offers flexibility for integration into custom machine frames and tooling plates.

Key Features

• Double acting operation provides powered motion in both extend and retract directions
• 2.5-inch bore (63 mm) delivers substantial force output at rated pressure
• 140 psi maximum working pressure suits standard plant air supply systems
• Aluminum alloy body construction reduces overall system weight
• Nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) seals provide reliable performance with standard compressed air
• 1/4 NPT port fits common pneumatic fittings and manifold connections
• Basic mount style with 3/8-24 mount thread allows versatile machine integration

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for rodless pneumatic cylinder applications requiring a 63 mm bore, 1-inch stroke, basic mount configuration, and 1/4 NPT porting.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pneumatic systems technician or industrial maintenance professional. Depressurize and lock out the air supply before removing or installing any cylinder. Verify that all fittings, tubing, and supply lines are rated for at least 140 psi before connecting to the system. Confirm the load guide mechanism is properly aligned to prevent side-loading on the cylinder body, which can accelerate seal wear.
