Quick Summary

Norgren KM/8026/M/70 is a stainless steel, double-acting cylinder used for precise linear actuation in food-grade automation. Cleanability, corrosion resistance, and robust performance are common pain points this design reliably addresses in harsh production environments. Conforms to ISO 6432 and is optimized for the food industry, featuring a magnetic piston and adjustable cushioning for gentle starts. The barrel is X5 Cr Ni 18 10 stainless steel and the piston rod uses X10 Cr Ni S 18 9, delivering high corrosion resistance. Typical applications include pick-and-place, labelling, and packaging lines in hygienic environments, where reliability reduces maintenance costs over the life of the asset. Engineers gain predictable performance with 294 N theoretical force, 70 mm stroke, 25 mm bore, and 1–10 bar operating pressure windows.

Stainless steel construction and ISO 6432 compatibility deliver durability and cross-compatibility across standard automation cells. The KM/8026/M/70 uses a 25 mm bore with a 70 mm stroke, producing predictable thrust in wash-down environments and reducing unplanned downtime due to corrosion or wear. In food processing lines, the oxidization resistance of X5CrNi18-10 and the polished piston path help maintain sanitary conditions while providing consistent actuation under humid conditions. Magnetic piston as standard enables reliable sensing without extra hardware, simplifying integration with PLCs and position sensors. This reduces wiring complexity and accelerates commissioning, especially in conveyor and pick-and-place applications where feedback accuracy matters. In practice, the magnetic piston improves repeatability and facilitates inline quality checks. Adjustable cushioning gives operators control over impact and dwell timing, extending cylinder life in high-speed cycles and protecting delicate loads. It also minimizes noise and vibration, improving operator safety and system uptime. When combined with 1–10 bar supply and G1/8 ports, it supports consistent performance across a wide operating envelope. Nose mounting nut and piston rod locknut simplify initial installation and maintenance, while the standard mounting pattern supports quick swaps within ISO 6432 frames. The corrosion-resistant barrel and hygienic design facilitate service in clean rooms or food packaging lines, reducing replacement intervals and enabling easier preventive maintenance. Overall, KM/8026/M/70 offers a robust, compliant actuation solution for mid-volume production where reliability, cleanability, and traceability matter. With 294 N theoretical thrust, 25 mm bore, and 70 mm stroke, it aligns with typical industry specs for compact automation while providing a safety margin for future line expansion.
