IMI Norgren KM/8020/M/70 Pneumatic Cylinder - ISO 6432
Part Number: KM/8020/M/70
Quick Summary
KM/8020/M/70 is a stainless steel ISO 6432 pneumatic cylinder designed for precise linear actuation in food-processing equipment. Engineers in food and beverage lines often wrestle with corrosion, wash-down constraints, and downtime caused by unsuitable actuation components. This cylinder delivers high corrosion and acid resistance and includes a magnetic piston for reliable sensing, aligning with ISO 6432 and clean-in-place environments. Its buffer cushioning reduces impact and wear, while nose mounting nut and piston rod locknut simplify mounting in tight automation cells. Designed for 1–10 bar supply and -10 to 80 °C operation, it provides a compact, hygienic solution that minimizes maintenance and downtime while delivering repeatable cycles in demanding production lines.

FAQs
KM/8020/M/70 is built to ISO 6432 dimensions, ensuring interchangeability with many parallel cylinders. The design includes standard mounting features like a nose mounting nut and piston rod locknut for quick, secure alignment and trouble-free retrofits in existing machines.
The cylinder uses stainless steel construction (AISI 304), offering high corrosion and acid resistance. Its magnetic piston supports reliable sensing, and buffer cushioning minimizes hammering during cycling, all of which support hygiene, CIP compatibility, and reduced maintenance in wash-down lines.
The unit operates from 1 to 10 bar (15 to 145 psi) and withstands temperatures from -10 to 80 °C (14 to 176 °F), making it suitable for typical process environments and thermal cycling in automated lines.
Yes. Its stainless steel barrel and piston rod materials are chosen for corrosion and acid resistance, ensuring long service life in challenging wash-down and CIP environments common in food and beverage processing.
The cylinder ships with a nose mounting nut and piston rod locknut as standard, enabling fast, secure mounting and easy alignment in tight spaces. Its compact 20 mm bore and 70 mm stroke also simplify layout planning in dense automation cells.
