Norgren KM/8020/M/30 Double Acting Cylinder - ISO 6432
Part Number: KM/8020/M/30
Quick Summary
KM/8020/M/30 is a stainless steel ISO roundline double acting cylinder designed for precision actuation in automated lines. Many systems struggle with corrosion, hygiene challenges, and downtime; KM/8020/M/30 offers high corrosion resistance and reliable life in demanding environments such as food processing. It conforms to ISO 6432 and features a magnetic piston for sensing, making it ideal for lines requiring reliable position feedback in sanitary manufacturing. The buffer cushioning reduces impact during stroke, and the nose mounting nut plus piston rod locknut simplify mounting and alignment. This combination delivers longer service intervals, lower maintenance costs, and scalable actuation for OEMs and system integrators.

Stainless steel construction provides high corrosion and acid resistance in challenging environments, extending service life in food processing and CIP/SIP lines. The barrel uses X5 Cr Ni 18 10 (1.4301: AISI 304) and the piston rod uses X10 Cr Ni S 18 9 (1.4305: AISI 303), ensuring compatibility with cleaning agents and washdown cycles. This reduces replacement costs and downtime while maintaining hygienic performance. ISO 6432 compatibility with a 20 mm bore and a 30 mm stroke, plus a G1/8 port, enables straightforward installation and interchangeability with existing fixtures. The compact footprint supports dense machine layouts and shorter cycle times, boosting overall line throughput. Magentic piston is standard, enabling reliable position sensing without extra sensors or wiring, improving control reliability. The double-acting operation offers precise extend and retract strokes across the temperature and pressure ranges, reducing cycle variability. Buffer cushioning minimizes impact forces at end-of-stroke, protecting loads, machinery, and seals while reducing noise. The standard nose mounting nut and piston rod locknut simplify mounting and alignment, supporting quick field changes and easier maintenance. Operating range 1 to 10 bar and -10 to 80 °C covers common automation environments; the design supports food-grade and general industrial use. Originating from Germany under the IMI Norgren brand, this cylinder provides consistent quality, service, and aftermarket support, enabling scalable automation across multiple lines.

FAQs
KM/8020/M/30 is designed for ISO 6432 mounting with a 20 mm bore and G1/8 port. Use the standard nose mounting nut and piston rod locknut for quick, precise alignment. Verify bore alignment, secure fittings to prevent leakage, and connect the 1-10 bar air supply to the G1/8 port. With interchangeable mounting patterns, replacement or retrofit on existing lines is straightforward, minimizing downtime.
The cylinder operates at 1 to 10 bar and withstands temperatures from -10 to 80 °C (-14 to 176 °F). This makes it suitable for typical factory floors and hygienic processing environments where washdown cycles and sanitized lines are common, while preserving actuation reliability across shifts.
Yes. The barrel is made from X5 Cr Ni 18 10 (AISI 304) and the rod from X10 Cr Ni S 18 9 (AISI 303), delivering high corrosion and acid resistance. It conforms to ISO 6432, features a magnetic piston for sensing, and uses buffer cushioning—combining sanitary construction with durable, reliable actuation for food processing lines and clean-in-place (CIP) cycles.
The magnetic piston enables position sensing without extra sensors, improving control accuracy and reducing wiring. Buffer cushioning minimizes end-of-stroke impact, protecting loads and machinery, lowering vibration and noise, and extending seal and rod life. Together, they support higher uptime and smoother automation cycles in repetitive handling tasks.
Durability from stainless steel construction reduces replacement frequency and downtime, lowering lifecycle costs. Standard ISO mounting compatibility and simple mounting hardware cut installation time, while consistent performance under washdown conditions reduces preventive maintenance needs. Overall, you gain higher line throughput, less unscheduled downtime, and improved process reliability over traditional cylinders.
