Feature: Stainless steel barrel and piston with magnetic piston provide excellent corrosion resistance and hygienic compatibility. The business impact is extended service life in CIP-clean environments and reduced maintenance costs on high-hygiene lines. Application: ideal for food processing and packaging lines where frequent sanitization is required and downtime is costly. Feature: ISO 6432 standard and a 25 mm bore with a 230 mm stroke deliver reliable interchangeability and consistent actuation. Business impact: decreased installation time and spare-parts inventory due to standardized mounting footprints, enabling fast retrofits and smooth integration into OEM automation cells. Application: retrofit projects across packaging, conveyor, and machine-tool contexts. Feature: Magnetic piston as standard enables easy inline position sensing. Business impact: improved control accuracy and feedback reliability with minimal wiring, reducing sensor footprint and wiring complexity. Application: inline sensing in packaging lines, conveyors, and pick-and-place cells in wet or washdown environments. Feature: Double-acting operation with adjustable cushioning provides controlled motion and shock damping. Business impact: lowers end-of-stroke loads, minimizes wear, and supports higher cycle rates without sacrificing longevity. Application: high-speed pick-and-place, valve actuation, and load handling in bottling and filling lines. Feature: Wide operating range -10 to 80 °C and 1 to 10 bar enables deployment across multiple processes without swapping hardware. Business impact: design simplification and reduced SKU proliferation, delivering faster deployment and lower total cost of ownership. Application: varied climates and sanitizing cycles in industrial automation tasks. Feature: Food-industry suitability and robust materials help meet cleanliness and regulatory expectations.

FAQs
KM/8026/M/230 uses a standard ISO 6432 footprint with a 25 mm bore and G1/8 port. Ensure frame compatibility with nose mounting nut and piston rod locknut as standard, and verify sensor placement for reliable magnetic piston feedback. Check clearance for stroke travel and alignment to prevent side loading during installation.
The cylinder operates from 1 to 10 bar and from -10 to 80 degrees Celsius. This range supports most automated packaging and processing environments, including washdown and CIP cycles, while maintaining consistent actuation across duty cycles.
Yes. The unit uses stainless steel construction and a magnetic piston to support reliable sensing in washdown conditions. Its CIP-ready design and food-industry suitability help minimize contamination risk while delivering dependable actuation for sanitary lines and packaging processes.
Prioritize system cleanliness to protect the stainless steel surfaces; monitor the adjustable cushioning setting to prevent excessive impact during end stops; inspect the mounting hardware and piston rod for wear after high-cycle periods; verify sensor alignment for stable feedback; and follow the manufacturer’s datasheet guidance for periodic inspection.
ROI benefits come from reduced downtime due to corrosion resistance and longer service intervals, lower spare-parts inventory thanks to ISO 6432 standardization, and improved process stability from precise cushioning and reliable magnetic sensing. These factors collectively shorten payback periods and increase line throughput in packaging and processing environments.
