FAQs
KM/8012/M/25 supports rear flange mounting (B), front flange mounting (G), nose nut mounting (N), and foot mounting (C). This flexibility enables easy installation on conveyors, grippers, and compact automation cells while preserving alignment and stroke accuracy.
The cylinder operates from -10 to 80 °C and is rated for 1 to 10 bar (15 to 145 psi). It uses compressed air as the medium, aligning with standard pneumatic system practices and ensuring consistent actuation across typical industrial environments.
Yes. The cylinder features stainless steel construction (AISI 304 equivalents) and a design oriented toward hygienic cleaning regimes, making it appropriate for food and beverage processing, packaging lines, and other environments demanding corrosion resistance and cleanability.
Key specs include 12 mm bore, 25 mm stroke, M5 port size, ISO 6432 standard, dual-acting operation, buffer cushioning, and a theoretical force of 67.8 N. Integration also benefits from magnetic piston design for sensing and compatibility with Pneufit 10 fittings.
Fittings include Pneufit 10 push-in variants (e.g., 4 mm and M5 ports). Optional switches like M/50 reed switch (5 V, 5 m cable) are available, with mounting brackets QM/33/012/22 to accommodate 12 mm bore actuators for sensing and control applications.
