FAQs
The KM/8021/M/10 is designed around the ISO 6432 footprint, ensuring straightforward replacement and retrofit in existing DIN 6432 mounting configurations. Its 20 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, and G1/8 port support quick integration with standard pneumatic manifolds and compressed air lines.
Theoretical force is rated at 188 N, with an operating pressure range of 1 to 10 bar (15 to 145 psi). This enables predictable, repeatable actuation across typical factory air supplies while maintaining control over speed and response in automated lines.
Yes. The stainless steel barrel (X5 Cr Ni 18-10) and corrosion-resistant piston rod (X10 Cr Ni S 18 9) are engineered for hygienic, washdown environments. The magnetic piston supports sensor integration, and adjustable cushioning reduces surface damage during high-cycle food processing equipment operations.
KM/8021/M/10 conforms to the ISO 6432 standard, which is widely used for compact pneumatic cylinders in automated equipment. This conformance simplifies compatibility with existing systems, ensures interchangeability with other ISO 6432 components, and supports consistent performance across suppliers and maintenance workflows.
Adjustable cushioning minimizes impact at the end of stroke, reducing seal wear and rod-end stress. This translates to longer seal life, lower maintenance frequency, and reduced downtime during high-speed or high-cycle operations typical in packaging and material handling applications.
