The KM/8026/M/80 uses a stainless steel barrel (X5 Cr Ni 18 10) and a stainless piston rod (X10 Cr Ni S 18 9), delivering high corrosion and acid resistance that extend service life in washdown environments, reducing maintenance costs and downtime. This translates to longer intervals between replacements and improved overall equipment effectiveness on packaging lines and food processing stations. The 25 mm bore and 80 mm stroke provide a compact yet dependable actuation profile, while the ISO 6432 standard ensures broad compatibility with common mounting footprints and accessories. Magnetic piston as standard enables reliable position sensing for automated control and easy integration into existing control systems. Adjustable cushioning minimizes impact, reducing mechanical wear and vibration, which supports smoother cycling and extended life for guided rails and end-of-stroke cushions. The G1/8 port and 1–10 bar operating pressure range offer flexible installation in confined spaces and across varied plant layouts, with Pneufit 10 fittings available for quick, tool-free air connections. Nose mounting nut and piston rod locknut as standard simplify mounting and service, while compatibility with mounting options such as Piston Rod Clevis, Rear Hinge, and Foot mounting styles broadens retrofit possibilities and reduces total cost of ownership. The unit’s 294 N theoretical force supports moderate loads without sacrificing compact footprint, enabling efficient, repeatable cycles in food packaging and automation lines. In practice, this cylinder pairs well with standard air preparation components and inline sensors to deliver predictable performance, ease of maintenance, and fast ROI.

FAQs
KM/8026/M/80 supports multiple mounting options including Piston Rod Clevis (KQM/55433/25), Rear Hinge (KQM/8020/24), and Foot mounting (M/P72404). For installation, align the bore with the mounting surface, secure the appropriate bracket, and attach the rod end using the standard nose mounting nut and rod locknut. The availability of these mounts reduces the need for adapters and speeds up commissioning on compact machines while preserving stroke alignment and load paths. Always verify clearances for end-of-stroke cushions and ensure air connections follow the G1/8 port specification.
The KM/8026/M/80 tolerates temperatures from -10 to 80 °C (14 to 176 °F) and supports a compressed air operating pressure range of 1 to 10 bar (15 to 145 psi). This broad range allows installation across diverse environments, from high-humidity packaging lines to controlled food processing areas. When selecting cushions and end-of-stroke settings, ensure the chosen pressure and load do not exceed the cylinder’s rated theoretical force of 294 N at the given bore and stroke to maintain reliability and cycle life.
Yes. The device uses high-grade stainless steel (barrel and piston rod) with excellent corrosion and acid resistance, making it well-suited for food processing and packaging lines subject to washdown. The magnetic piston supports safe and reliable position sensing for automation without requiring external magnets on the surface, simplifying mounting in clean environments. The adjustable cushioning also minimizes impact during high-cycle use, protecting delicate fixtures and reducing maintenance in hygienic settings.
The KM/8026/M/80 delivers a theoretical force of 294 N, enabling reliable actuation for mid-range loads in compact configurations. Adjustable cushioning reduces impact and mechanical wear at end-of-stroke, improving cycle life and reducing vibration transmission to guided rails and mounting brackets. This is particularly beneficial in high-speed packaging lines and CNC-like pick-and-place stations where consistent cycling and predictable stopping behavior are critical for throughput and product handling.
The cylinder uses a G1/8 port for air connections and is compatible with Pneufit 10 push-in fittings, including straight adapters and swivel elbows (102250618, 102470618) and a banjo flow control (10K510618). This ecosystem supports quick, leak-free installation with minimal tooling, enabling rapid line changes and straightforward maintenance in busy automation cells while maintaining leak integrity and compact air routing.
