Stainless steel body delivers high corrosion resistance, enabling longer service life in washdown environments and reducing maintenance costs on food-processing lines. The magnetic piston as standard provides easy sensing and position feedback for reliable automation. ISO 6432 conformance ensures cross-brand compatibility and quick integration in compact installations. Buffer cushioning smooths strokes, lowers peak loads, and reduces wear, extending actuator life in high-cycle packaging applications. With 20 mm bore and 20 mm stroke, plus G1/8 port and 1–10 bar operating pressure, the unit fits tight spaces while delivering predictable actuation. Stainless barrel and piston rod materials (AISI 304/303) support hygienic cleaning and acid resistance, while nose mounting nut and piston rod locknut simplify secure installation.

FAQs
KM/8020/M/20 uses the ISO 6432 mounting standard for quick replacement in compatible frames. It ships with a nose mounting nut and piston rod locknut, simplifying alignment and securing the cylinder. During installation, ensure a clean, dry surface, verify port orientation (G1/8), and check mounting clearances to prevent binding and leaks in high-cycle environments.
The unit has a 20 mm bore and 20 mm stroke, with a G1/8 port. It operates from 1 to 10 bar (15 to 145 psi) and withstands -10 to 80 °C (-14 to 176 °F). Theoretical force is 188 N. Material choices (AISI 304 barrel, AISI 303 rod) support reliable performance in demanding environments.
Yes. The stainless steel construction provides high corrosion resistance and acid tolerance ideal for washdown zones in food processing. Magnetic piston enables sensing for automation, and buffer cushioning reduces impact in high-cycle operations. Together, these features support hygienic automation, reduced downtime, and longer service life in packaging lines and other food-grade applications.
The product conforms to ISO 6432. Explicit SIL, CE, or IP ratings are not listed in the dataset. Despite this, the 304/303 stainless steel construction and magnetic piston bolster hygienic reliability in food-grade environments, while standard features support compliant automation in EU and global packaging lines.
The stainless steel body resists corrosion and acid attack, reducing maintenance and replacement costs. Buffer cushioning minimizes wear, extending component life in high-cycle applications. With standard sensing compatibility and easy mounting, downtime is reduced during line changes, delivering a lower total cost of ownership and a faster return on investment for automated systems.
