Norgren KM/8012/M/100 Cylinder - ISO 6432 Certified
Part Number: KM/8012/M/100
Quick Summary
Norgren KM/8012/M/100 stainless steel cylinder provides double-acting pneumatic actuation for automated food and beverage equipment. In washdown-heavy lines, corrosion and acid resistance reduce maintenance downtime and extend service life by withstanding frequent cleaning. ISO 6432 conformance ensures interchangeability with standard mounting systems, while a magnetic piston and buffer cushioning boost sensing reliability and operating smoothness. This design minimizes unexpected tool wear and guarantees repeatable motion across temperatures, supporting consistent product quality. For engineers and procurement teams, it enables quick installation, compatibility with M5 ports, and lower total cost of ownership in medical, food, and packaging applications.

The KM/8012/M/100 uses a compact 12 mm bore and a 100 mm stroke within the ISO 6432 footprint, delivering precise travel and a small overall footprint that fits tight automation spaces. This geometry enables higher-density layouts without sacrificing motion quality, boosting line throughput and reducing system footprint. The stainless steel barrel and robust piston rod provide outstanding resistance to corrosion and acids, delivering longer service life in demanding washdown environments and lowering maintenance frequency. As a double-acting cylinder powered by compressed air (1–10 bar), it offers reliable push and pull across a broad operating window, supporting faster cycle times and improved repeatability in continuous production. A magnetic piston facilitates straightforward position sensing for modern PLCs, while buffer cushioning minimizes impact at end stops, enhancing durability and reducing shock loads on downstream actuators. Nose mounting nut and piston rod locknut simplify alignment and prevent loosening during high-cycle operation, and the 12 mm bore with M5 ports aligns with common air-network standards, reducing installation risk. ISO 6432 compatibility ensures easy spare-parts replacement and inventory management, while the stainless construction supports hygienic cleaning regimes in dairy, meat, and beverage applications. Overall, this cylinder delivers predictable performance, easy maintenance, and scalable automation for compact line layouts.

FAQs
The KM/8012/M/100 is ISO 6432 compliant with a 12 mm bore and M5 port. Use the nose mounting nut and piston rod locknut for secure alignment, ensure the air supply is within 1–10 bar, and verify magnetic piston sensing aligns with your PLC inputs. Choose compatible mounting accessories to preserve alignment across cycles.
It operates on compressed air within 1–10 bar (15–145 psi) and spans -10 to 80 C. The unit is double-acting with a 12 mm bore and 100 mm stroke, standard buffering, and a magnetic piston. Theoretical force is 67.8 N, enabling reliable actuation across typical automation tasks while maintaining smooth, repeatable motion.
Yes. The stainless steel barrel and corrosion-resistant piston rod are designed for frequent cleaning and exposure to cleaning agents. Buffer cushioning and a magnetic piston enhance reliability, while ISO 6432 compliance supports interchangeability with hygienic, food-grade automation components used in dairy, meat, and beverage lines.
Plan for standard preventive checks on seals and mounting hardware, given the high-cycle, washdown environment. The magnetic piston aids non-contact position sensing, reducing wear on sensors. The buffer cushioning minimizes impact loads, helping protect end-effect mechanisms and extending the unit’s service life with consistent performance.
