FAQs
The KM/8020/M/300 is built to ISO 6432 standards with a 20 mm bore and G1/8 port. It mounts using standard ISO hardware and nose mounting options, making retrofits straightforward in existing cells. Ensure alignment to avoid side loads, and use the included locknut to secure the piston rod during final assembly. This minimizes misalignment risk and improves cycle stability.
Key specs include a 20 mm cylinder bore, 300 mm stroke, double-acting operation, magnetic piston, and buffer cushioning. It tolerates 1–10 bar (15–145 psi) and operates from -10 to 80 °C. The port size is G1/8, with barrel material X5 Cr Ni 18 10 (AISI 304) and piston rod X10 Cr Ni S 18 9 (AISI 303), giving robust performance in demanding environments.
Yes. The cylinder uses stainless steel construction and is designed for food-grade environments. Its corrosion resistance, magnetic piston for reliable sensing, and ISO 6432 compatibility support cleanability, traceability, and consistent actuation in packaging, dosing, and handling stations typical of food processing lines.
The product conforms to the ISO 6432 standard for compact pneumatic cylinders and features a magnetic piston for improved sensing reliability. While specific CE or IP ratings aren’t listed in the data, the design emphasizes corrosion resistance and suitability for food industry applications, aligning with common regulatory expectations for hygienic, automation-grade actuators.
Buffer cushioning reduces end-of-stroke impacts, decreasing wear on mounting hardware and improving line uptime. The stainless steel body resists corrosion in humid or wash-down environments, extending service life and lowering replacement frequency. The magnetic piston supports robust sensing for reliable control, reducing adjustment needs and maintenance overhead over the cylinder’s life.
