Overview
The SMC NCDA1F150-0600-DUJ0169 is a double-acting tie-rod pneumatic cylinder from SMC’s NCA1 NFPA-interchangeable series. With a 1.5-inch bore and 6-inch stroke, this medium-duty actuator delivers reliable linear motion for industrial pneumatic control systems. The NFPA-standard design ensures drop-in compatibility with existing mounting standards, making it a practical replacement or upgrade option for manufacturing, automation, and material handling applications.
Key Features
- Double-acting design with single rod for push/pull operation in both directions
- NFPA-interchangeable tie-rod construction for seamless system integration
- Medium-duty performance suitable for standard industrial pneumatic applications
- Compact 1.5-inch bore and 6-inch stroke configuration
- Built-in piston rod sensor (autoswitch) capability for position feedback
- NBR gaskets and seals for reliable operation across varied environments
