FAQs
KM/8026/M/120 uses standard ISO 6432 mounting and G1/8 ports for straightforward integration. Confirm mounting holes align with the frame, then attach the cylinder using the nose mounting nut and piston rod locknut provided. Ensure port connections are tight and use appropriate hoses or fittings rated for 1–10 bar to prevent leaks. For best results, verify alignment before commissioning and constrain lateral loads to preserve cushioning performance.
The cylinder operates from -10 to 80 °C and supports 1 to 10 bar (14 to 145 psi) of compressed air. This makes it suitable for environments from standard production floors to cold or mildly heated processing zones, while maintaining consistent actuation performance.
Yes. The KM/8026/M/120 includes a magnetic piston as standard, enabling easy non-contact position sensing with compatible proximity or magnetic switches. This supports closed-loop control, precise stop positions, and reliable feedback for automation sequences.
Absolutely. The stainless steel construction (barrel in 1.4301 and piston rod in 1.4305) provides high corrosion resistance and washdown compatibility, while ISO 6432 compliance ensures reliable mounting and maintenance in sanitary environments typical of food processing and beverage packaging.
Theoretical force is 294 N at rated conditions, with standard 25 mm bore and 120 mm stroke for compact, repeatable motion. It uses standard G1/8 ports and ISO 6432 mounting, enabling straightforward integration with existing valves, manifolds, and control systems in modern automation cells.
