Norgren KM/8021/M/85 Cylinder - ISO 6432

The KM/8021/M/85 offers a compact 20 mm bore and 85 mm stroke for tight, space-constrained actuation in crowded control panels and narrow conveyor zones. Together with a theoretical force of 188 N, it provides reliable, repeatable motion for standard pick-and-place and clamping tasks across small automation cells. This combination supports compact automation layouts without sacrificing precision, enabling consistent speed control in challenging environments. The barrel and moving parts use X5 Cr Ni 18 10 stainless steel, delivering high corrosion and acid resistance essential for aggressive washdowns. That material choice is crucial for washdown-friendly environments found in food processing and packaging lines, resisting staining and grime. By maintaining cleanliness and reducing buildup, the cylinder supports compliance with hygiene standards and minimizes unscheduled maintenance. A magnetic piston is standard, enabling straightforward position sensing with non-contact switches. This simplifies wiring and allows reliable feedback to PLCs and control systems without extra magnetic sensors. The magnetic feature also enhances reliability in conditions with vibration, spray residues, or frequent cycling. Adjustable cushioning minimizes impact at end-of-stroke, reducing wear on seals and mounting hardware. That cushion control supports smoother deceleration, shorter cycle times, and a longer service life in high-speed lines. Even in demanding temperature zones, the cushioning can be tuned to protect delicate payloads and minimize noise. ISO 6432 compliance guarantees interchangeability with compatible cylinders across suppliers and platforms, simplifying spec matching. The G1/8 port size simplifies plumbing and reduces the need for custom fittings in most installations. Nose mounting nut and piston rod locknut standardize mounting, alignment, and maintenance, saving time during installation. Operating temperature range of -10 to 80 °C and an operating pressure range of 1 to 10 bar ensure versatility across plant zones and climates. The durable stainless steel body and compact geometry suit hygienic environments without compromising performance or reliability. Overall, KM/8021/M/85 minimizes downtime and lifecycle costs by delivering robust actuation in a compact, scalable package.
