ISO 6432 compliance with a 20 mm bore and 60 mm stroke enables plug‑and‑play integration with other standardized components. This reduces assembly time, simplifies stocking, and minimizes downtime during changes in production lines. It’s well suited for packaging, labeling, and small‑cabinet automation where compact, reliable actuation is critical. Material choice and corrosion resistance: The X5CrNi18-10 stainless barrel and X10CrNiS18-9 piston rod deliver high resistance to corrosion and acids. This design delivers longer service life, lower maintenance, and predictable performance in washdown environments. Ideal applications include food and beverage processing, pharmaceutical packaging lines, and other hygienic manufacturing settings. Magnetic piston as standard: The integrated magnet supports non-contact position sensing, enabling reliable end‑of‑stroke detection and sensor wiring without mechanical switches. This improves control accuracy, reduces mis-detections, and simplifies integration with PLCs, sensors, and automated controls in robotics and sensor‑dense automation cells. Buffer cushioning and mounting hardware: Buffer cushions minimize impact loads, reduce noise, and protect seals, while the nose mounting nut and piston rod locknut simplify alignment and secure mounting. Expect smoother cycling, longer seal life, and faster maintenance in high‑duty applications such as pick‑and‑place and assembly lines. Operating envelope and porting: G1/8 port, -10 to 80 °C, 1 to 10 bar enable a wide operating range and compatibility with standard air lines. This supports versatile deployment across climate zones and process conditions with straightforward integration into existing plant air systems. Industry insight: Norgren’s KM/8000 family is a trusted choice for hygienic, high‑cycle automation, enabling predictable performance in challenging environments.

FAQs

Consider mounting orientation and standard ISO 6432 footprint to ensure compatible brackets and clamps. Use the G1/8 port with proper thread sealing and verify the 60 mm stroke fits the available envelope. The nose mounting nut and piston rod locknut support secure alignment, reducing installation time and the risk of misalignment in tight spaces.
The stainless steel barrel (AISI 304) and corrosion‑resistant piston rod (AISI 303) are designed for washdown conditions, providing long service life and lower maintenance. For best results, use compatible cleaning agents and avoid harsh chemicals that exceed the operating limits, ensuring consistent performance in hygienic manufacturing lines.
Yes. The cylinder features a magnetic piston, supporting reliable non-contact position sensing with proximity sensors and PLC‑based controls. Its compact 20 mm bore and standard mounting simplify sensor placement and wiring, enabling precise end‑of‑stroke feedback without additional mechanical switches.
KM/8020/M/60 conforms to ISO 6432, with materials and design suited for hygienic, food‑grade applications. While ISO 6432 is verified, check the datasheet for any additional approvals or regional conformance, and confirm whether CE or IP ratings are required for your specific installation.
High corrosion resistance and robust buffering reduce seal wear and maintenance intervals, extending service life and improving uptime. The integrated magnetic piston simplifies sensing, facilitating faster commissioning and fewer sensor faults. Combined with standardization and compact footprint, this cylinder lowers spare parts inventory and supports scalable automation without frequent hardware changes.
