SMC NCMB106-0100T Stainless Steel Air Cylinder, Round Body, Single Acting, Spring Extend, Front Nose Mounting, Not Switch Ready, No Cushion, 1-1/16" Bore OD, 1" Stroke, 0.312" Rod OD, 1/8" NPT

This SMC stainless-steel NCM Series air cylinder has a round body, front nose mounting, and a single-acting spring-extend return for use in linear applications. The single-acting air cylinder (also called a pneumatic cylinder) uses airflow through its single air port for rod retraction and an internal spring in the cylinder barrel's blind end for rod extension to produce continued movement. The air cylinder has a stainless-steel body to help resist corrosion and scaling, and it comes with a single piston rod. Nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) seals contain air and help to protect the barrel and piston rod. The air cylinder has front nose mounting and includes a mounting nut for securing the nose with brackets (sold separately) to rigid surfaces. The maximum pressure of the pneumatic cylinder is 250 pounds per square inch (psi), and it has a temperature range of 40 to 140 degrees F. This non-repairable air cylinder is suitable for use in a variety of general purpose linear applications. Pneumatic actuators fall into two classes: linear and rotary. Linear actuators move objects in straight lines, while rotary actuators turn objects, or rotate them in varying directions. Air cylinders (also called pneumatic cylinders), the most common type of linear actuators, use pressurized air to pull and push piston rods in and out of cylinder barrels. This motion moves mechanisms connected to the rods, or (for detached items) directs or blocks travel using rod-attached plates. Air cylinders execute pushing, pulling, lifting, lowering, pressing, and stopping functions, and they come in several different body types, including round, compact, tie-rod, guided, slide, and clamp. Pneumatic cylinders can be either single acting, with one compressed air port to push the rod in a single direction and a spring to return the rod, or double acting, with two compressed air ports on opposite ends of the cylinder to both extend and retract the rod. For quieter piston operation, air cylinders can come with cushioning in one or both ends of their barrels. Several mounting styles are available both for attaching the air cylinder ends to moving components in a pneumatic system and for mounting to rigid surfaces. Air cylinders are used in industrialized automation tasks in automotive, food processing, material handling, and robotics applications, among others.
