Overview
The Numatics 1500D01-03A is a double-acting pneumatic air cylinder from the ASCO Numatics M Series round line. This non-repairable cylinder delivers reliable actuation in light-duty industrial applications with stainless steel construction for durability. Rated for 250 PSI maximum pressure, it offers predictable performance and cost-effective operation across manufacturing, assembly, and material handling systems.
Key Features
- 1.5″ bore, 3″ stroke – delivers 177 lbf extend / 162 lbf retract force at 100 PSI
- Stainless steel construction – 304 stainless steel cylinder tube with stainless steel piston rod for corrosion resistance
- Double-acting design – pressurized extend and retract for controlled two-way motion
- Nose mount configuration – compact footprint with 1/8″ NPTF threaded pneumatic ports
- Pre-lubricated – comes factory pre-lubed for non-lube service applications
- 250 PSI maximum rating – proven performance across standard industrial compressed air systems
