The KM/8026/M/170 features a stainless steel barrel (X5 Cr Ni 18 10, 1.4301: AISI 304) and a piston rod in X10 Cr Ni S 18 9 (1.4305: AISI 303), delivering high corrosion and acid resistance for prolonged life in challenging environments. This translates to lower replacement costs and reduced downtime in production lines that require frequent washdowns and sanitation. The magnetic piston comes as standard, enabling reliable, non-contact position sensing with compatible sensors and controls, which simplifies integration with PLCs and IO systems. Conforms to ISO 6432 for universal mounting compatibility, ensuring straightforward replacement and cross-brand interchangeability to minimize downtime during maintenance. Adjustable cushioning provides tailored impact control, reducing vibration, extending cylinder life, and protecting downstream equipment. The G1/8 port size supports common air fittings, simplifying installation and maintenance in compact automation layouts. The double-acting operation delivers consistent force in both extend and retraction strokes, enhancing cycle stability across a range of loads. With a 25 mm bore and 170 mm stroke, the unit offers measured actuation for precise positioning tasks in packaging, filling, and assembly lines. Germany engineering underpins the build quality, improving reliability and total cost of ownership in demanding industrial settings.

FAQs
KM/8026/M/170 adheres to ISO 6432 mounting standards, ensuring broad compatibility with common brackets and end-caps used in pneumatic systems. It ships with a nose mounting nut and piston rod locknut, enabling quick, stable installation. For best results, align the cylinder with the linear axis, secure with compatible ISO mounting feet, and verify correct sensor alignment if using a magnetic piston for position feedback.
The cylinder operates between 1 and 10 bar (15 to 145 psi) and is rated for temperatures from -10 to 80 °C (14 to 176 °F). This broad range makes it suitable for both standard factory floors and harsher environments common in food processing, packaging, and automation lines, while maintaining consistent actuation and repeatable stroke performance.
Yes. The KM/8026/M/170 uses a stainless steel barrel (AISI 304) and a hardened piston rod (AISI 303), providing excellent resistance to corrosion and acids typical of washdown cycles. Its design supports hygienic cleaning protocols, while adjustable cushioning minimizes impact forces, reducing wear on both the cylinder and downstream equipment in high-duty applications.
This cylinder complies with ISO 6432, ensuring standardization for mounting and interchangeability across manufacturers. The magnetic piston supports reliable sensing for automation, and the stainless steel construction is tailored for food-industry environments. These features collectively help maintain regulatory compliance, improve traceability, and simplify integration with control systems in regulated production lines.
The KM/8026/M/170 offers adjustable cushioning to tailor impact and extend cycle life, reducing downtime and spare-parts usage. Its corrosion-resistant materials minimize replacement frequency in aggressive washdown environments, while the magnetic piston enables straightforward sensor integration for predictive maintenance. Overall, these features translate to lower total cost of ownership and improved uptime on critical automation tasks.
