FAQs
KM/8020/M/80 follows the ISO 6432 standard and uses a G1/8 port, making it compatible with common 20 mm bore cylinders in the KM/8000/M family. The rear hinge, foot, and rod clevis mounting options provide flexible integration into existing automation frames, simplifying retrofits and new installations alike.
The cylinder supports 1 to 10 bar (15 to 145 psi). Operating within this range ensures reliable actuation while maintaining the magnetic piston’s sensing capability. Staying within the range minimizes premature wear and helps sustain predictable cycle life in routine industrial use.
Yes. The 1.4301 stainless steel barrel and 1.4305 piston rod offer high corrosion resistance suitable for washdown and acidic environments. ISO 6432 compliance and cleanability considerations make it a strong choice for food‑grade automation, while buffer cushioning supports gentle, sanitary cycling without harsh shocks.
Mounting options include L‑rear hinge (KQM/8020/24), foot mounting (M/P72404), and piston rod clevis (KQM/8020/25). For sensing, a M/50 reed switch option is available, and switch mounting brackets (QM/33/020/22) simplify sensor installation on 20 mm bore cylinders.
The combination of corrosion resistance, ISO 6432 compatibility, magnetic piston, and buffer cushioning reduces maintenance cycles, minimizes downtime, and improves cycle reliability. For food‑industry lines, this translates to lower total cost of ownership, predictable performance, and easier regulatory compliance.
