Overview
The SMC NCDGBN32-0600 is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder from SMC’s NCG series, engineered for reliable linear motion control in industrial automation systems. With a 32mm bore and 6-inch stroke, this compact actuator delivers consistent force in both directions, making it ideal for machinery, assembly equipment, and process automation.
Key Features
- Double-acting design with extendable and retractable piston motion
- Built-in magnet for compatibility with auto-switch sensors
- Rubber cushion bumpers for smooth operation and reduced shock
- NPT 1/8″ threaded pneumatic ports for standard industrial fittings
- Pre-wired with 3-meter oil-proof heavy-duty lead-wire with flying leads
- NBR gaskets and seals for reliable performance in standard industrial environments
Technical Specifications
The cylinder operates within standard industrial pneumatic pressure ranges and is designed for piston speeds between 50-1000 mm/s, allowing flexibility in application speeds. The 32mm bore delivers adequate force for light to medium-duty pneumatic applications.
Typical Applications
- Packaging and labeling equipment
- Material handling and transfer systems
- Assembly line automation
- Press and clamping operations
- Conveyor systems and sortation equipment
- Factory automation and process control
Compatibility & Replacements
Compatible With
- Standard compressed air systems (0.5-1.0 MPa nominal)
- Industrial PLC and motion control systems with pneumatic interfaces
- Pneumatic directional control valves (standard ISO 4401 or subplate mounting)
- SMC auto-switch sensors and proximity switches (via built-in magnet)
Replaces / Drop-In Replacement For
Verify compatibility with your system integrator before ordering. Related SMC NCG series cylinders with different stroke lengths (e.g., NCDGBN32-1600 for 16″ stroke) are available as alternative configurations.
