Overview
The SMC NCDA1F150-0150-DUJ-1182 is a medium-duty, double-acting tie-rod pneumatic cylinder designed for NFPA interchangeability. This model operates at 250 psi (1.70 MPa) and features a 1.5″ bore with 1.5″ stroke, making it suitable for compact automation applications where space and force are critical. The DUJ designation indicates factory-installed cushioning on both the head and rod ends, providing smooth deceleration and protecting against shock loads.
Key Features
- Double-acting design — extends and retracts under air pressure for bidirectional motion control
- Tie-rod construction — robust frame with external tie-rods for high side-load capacity and durability
- NFPA interchangeable — mounting footprints conform to NFPA standards, allowing simple substitution in existing systems
- Built-in cushioning — both cap and rod ends feature air cushion to reduce shock and noise
- 1.5″ bore, 1.5″ stroke — compact footprint ideal for confined spaces and rapid cycling
- Pre-lubricated — minimal maintenance, ready to connect
- Multiple mounting options — front flange (F designation) for rigid panel or manifold mounting

Replaces / Drop-In Replacement For
- Verify compatibility with your system integrator before ordering. The NCDA1F150-0150 designation matches SMC’s standard NFPA footprint, but specific port threads, cushion settings, and electrical sensor configurations (if any) should be confirmed with the original equipment OEM or SMC technical support.
Works With
