FAQs
KM/8020/M/15 uses the ISO 6432 footprint, with a G1/8 port for compressed air. It ships with a nose mounting nut and piston rod locknut for secure, repeatable mounting. Ensure proper alignment to avoid side loading, supply air at 1–10 bar, and check that mounting hardware matches your frame to maintain seal integrity and stroke accuracy.
Yes. The cylinder features stainless steel barrel and piston rod materials that resist corrosion and facilitate washdown. Its design prioritizes hygienic compatibility, with a magnetic piston enabling reliable sensing and buffer cushioning to minimize particle generation and mechanical wear in high-cleanliness environments.
The unit operates from -10 to 80 °C (14 to 176 °F) and handles pressures from 1 to 10 bar (15 to 145 psi). This wide range supports use across variable plant conditions and product lines, minimizing the need for multiple variants.
Yes. A magnetic piston is standard, enabling straightforward position sensing in automated control schemes, while buffer cushioning reduces impact forces at end strokes. These features improve cycle accuracy, reduce wear, and support longer service intervals in high-throughput lines.
Theoretical force is 188 N, suitable for mid-range cylinder applications. The barrel is made from X5 Cr Ni 18-10 (1.4301: AISI 304) stainless steel, and the piston rod from X10 Cr Ni S 18 9 (1.4305: AISI 303), delivering strong corrosion resistance and mechanical durability for demanding environments.
