Overview
The SMC NCQ8B300-300 is a compact double-acting pneumatic cylinder engineered for demanding industrial automation applications. With a 300mm bore diameter and matching 300mm stroke length, this cylinder delivers predictable linear motion in a space-efficient design. Rated for 200 PSI (1.3 MPa) maximum operating pressure, the NCQ8B300-300 suits a broad range of manufacturing, material handling, and process control systems.
Key Features
- Double-acting design enables powered extension and retraction
- 300mm bore and stroke for high-displacement applications
- 200 PSI maximum operating pressure rating
- Compact footprint reduces system size and weight
- Single rod configuration for balanced load distribution
- Precision machined body for long service life
