Norgren KM/8020/MF/40 Cylinder - ISO 6432, Magnetic
Part Number: KM/8020/MF/40
Quick Summary
Norgren KM/8020/MF/40 Cylinder provides precise double-acting actuation for compact automation in food-processing lines. In challenging environments with corrosion and contamination risk, standard cylinders can fail prematurely. ISO 6432 compliance, magnetic piston as standard, and food-grade suitability support hygienic operation. Buffer cushioning and a stainless steel barrel further reduce maintenance, downtime, and total cost of ownership. Manufacturers benefit from consistent stroke and force, with a 40 mm stroke and 20 mm diameter offering 188 N theoretical push, plus improved compatibility with magnetic sensors. This supports reliable cycle rates in production lines.

FAQs
KM/8020/MF/40 is engineered to ISO 6432 dimensions and uses a G1/8 port, delivering a reliable 20 mm bore and 40 mm stroke. The unit features a nose mounting nut and piston rod locknut for quick, vibration-resistant installation. This ensures straightforward substitution in existing manifolds and equipment without major redesigns.
Constructed with X5 Cr Ni 18 10 stainless steel in the barrel and 1.4305 steel for the piston rod, the cylinder offers high corrosion and acid resistance suitable for washdowns. Regular inspection of the cushioning and seals is advised; the design supports frequent sanitization in food-processing environments with minimal risk of corrosion-related downtime.
Yes. The cylinder is designed for the food industry, featuring stainless steel construction, a magnetic piston for sensor feedback, and ISO 6432 compatibility for sanitary, easy-clean installations. Its materials and design support reliable operation in hygienic automation and high-cycle packaging lines.
Operating pressure is 1–10 bar (15–145 psi) with a temperature range of -10 to 80 °C (14–176 °F). It uses a G1/8 port and offers a 20 mm diameter, 40 mm stroke with double-acting operation. These specs enable consistent performance across varied industrial environments.
Nose mounting nut and piston rod locknut simplify mounting and reliability, while buffer cushioning minimizes shocks to extend seal life. Magnetic piston provides easy sensing, reducing wiring and integration costs. Overall, the stainless construction reduces maintenance frequency, lowers downtime, and delivers predictable performance in high-cycle lines, improving total cost of ownership.
