Overview
The Numatics NBND4-CA00E-AA is a double-acting, twin-rod tie-rod pneumatic cylinder built for dependable performance in industrial automation. Part of the Numatics compact NB series, this cylinder delivers precise and repeatable linear motion control using compressed air as the working medium. Manufactured by ASCO Numatics, the NBND4-CA00E-AA combines robust construction with reliable sealing technology for extended service life across diverse manufacturing applications.
Key Features
- Double-Acting Design: Extends and retracts under controlled pneumatic pressure for bidirectional motion control
- Twin-Rod Non-Rotating Configuration: Twin piston rods prevent rotation and provide enhanced stability during operation
- Tie-Rod Construction: Stainless steel tie bolts ensure structural integrity and longevity
- Internally Lubricated Seals: Buna-N seals with internal lubrication reduce friction and maintenance requirements
- Composite Self-Lubricating Body: Minimizes wear and extends cylinder service life without external lubrication
- Chrome-Plated Steel Piston Rod: Corrosion-resistant finish provides protection in harsh environments

Replaces / Drop-In Replacement For
Verify compatibility with your system integrator before ordering. The NBND4-CA00E-AA is equivalent to part number NBND4CA00EAA (space-removed format). Similar cylinders in the NB series (such as NBND4-CA00I-AA and NBND4-CE00M-AA) share common interfaces but may have different stroke lengths.
Works With
- Pneumatic automation software and control systems
- ISO 15552 compliant directional control valves
- Standard pneumatic connectors and push-to-connect fittings (1/8″ NPT)
- Pneumatic circuit design and simulation tools
- Industrial PLC platforms (Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Mitsubishi, Omron)
