Overview
The Numatics T1AL-03A1D-DBA2 is a proven double-acting pneumatic cylinder engineered to NFPA A-series interchangeable standards. With a 2″ bore and 3″ stroke, this cylinder combines reliable single-rod tie-rod construction with industrial-grade materials to deliver consistent performance in machine automation, material handling, and process control applications. The DBA2 suffix denotes adjustable cushions at both head and cap ports, providing smooth deceleration and reduced shock on load reversal.
