Material durability drives lower maintenance and longer service life. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The stainless steel barrel and piston rod deliver exceptional corrosion resistance in washdown environments, reducing contamination risk and downtime on packaging lines. This translates to predictable performance and lower total cost of ownership in food and beverage applications. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Magnetic piston as standard enables reliable reed-switch sensing for precise position feedback, improving control accuracy on automated assembly lines and enabling simpler wiring in confined spaces. Feature → Business Impact → Application: ISO 6432 compatibility ensures easy interchangeability with standard mounting and mounting accessories, simplifying upgrades and spares management in multi-line facilities. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Buffer cushioning minimizes impact forces at end-of-stroke, extending cylinder life and reducing vibration-related wear on conveyors and pick-and-place applications. Feature → Business Impact → Application: G1/8 port size and Pneufit 10 fittings compatibility enable fast, leak-free installation and straightforward field servicing in tight control panels. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Mounting options (foot M/P72404, rear hinge KQM/8020/24, piston rod clevis KQM/8020/25) provide flexible installation on frames and fixtures, accelerating machine build and changeovers in OEM lines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Operating range (-10 to 80 °C, 1 to 10 bar) supports diverse environments from chilly washdown zones to warm production floors, ensuring consistent actuation across shifts and seasons.

FAQs
KM/8020/M/100 supports rear hinge mounting (KQM/8020/24) and piston rod clevis mounting (KQM/8020/25) as well as foot mounting (M/P72404). Use the G1/8 port with Pneufit 10 straight or swivel fittings to ensure a secure, leak-free connection. Start with a clean, aligned mounting surface, attach the appropriate mounting accessory, and route control lines to minimize bending stress on the piston rod. This approach minimizes misalignment and extends service life in high-cycle applications.
The cylinder provides a theoretical force of 188 N at the 20 mm bore. It operates between 1 and 10 bar (15 to 145 psi) and handles temperatures from -10 to 80 °C. The 100 mm stroke and 20 mm bore enable compact yet capable actuation suitable for compact automation tasks such as inline pick-and-place and short-stroke positioning. Ensure your system pressure and temperature stay within these ranges for reliable performance.
Yes. The unit features a stainless steel barrel with corrosion resistance suited to washdown and cleaning-in-place environments, making it well-suited for food and beverage processing, packaging, and related automation. The magnetic piston supports reliable sensing in sanitary zones, while buffer cushioning reduces wear and maintenance in high-cycle packaging lines.
KM/8020/M/100 conforms to ISO 6432, indicating compatibility with a wide range of standard mounting interfaces and accessories. The stainless steel construction and design choices align with hygienic and corrosion-resistant expectations common in process industries. Specific CE or IP certifications are not listed in the provided data, but the design supports typical industrial compliance needs through standardization and material selection.
Maintenance is minimized thanks to a stainless steel barrel, magnetic piston for robust sensing, and buffer cushioning that reduces shock loading. Choose compatible mounting and fittings to simplify field servicing. ROI is driven by reduced downtime, longer service intervals, and lower replacement costs in high-cycle lines, especially in washdown environments where corrosion resistance extends service life.
