External guiding system provides stable guidance for the rodless design, minimizing side loads and wear while delivering repeatable strokes in tight spaces. This translates to longer service life and reduced maintenance in high-cycle lines such as packaging and assembly. The external guide also simplifies installation in transfer modules, enabling straightforward alignment and mounting on existing frames. A 16 mm diameter with a 420 mm stroke offers a compact footprint without sacrificing travel, supporting higher density layouts and improved throughput in automated cells. Adjustable cushioning enables precise deceleration, reducing impact and component wear in high-speed cycles. The magnetic piston supports easy sensing and position feedback, enhancing automation reliability without secondary hardware. Universal mounting grooves and interchangeability with the M/46000 series simplify retrofits and spare-parts planning, cutting downtime during upgrades. Durable anodised aluminium barrel and nitrile polyurethane seals yield robust performance in typical industrial environments, while standard dust protection minimizes contamination in dusty or particulate-heavy applications. The combination of Pneufit C push-in fittings, M5 porting, and compatible tubing options streamlines installation and reduces assembly time.

FAQs
The M/146116/M/420 uses universal mounting grooves and an M5 port, enabling straightforward installation on existing frames and compatible manifolds. With included Pneufit C push-in fittings and standard tubing options, retrofitting into M/46000 series setups is streamlined, reducing commissioning time and minimizing downtime during upgrades.
This cylinder operates from 1 to 8 bar (15 to 116 psi) and is rated for temperatures from -30 to 80 °C (-22 to 176 °F). These ranges support reliable performance across typical industrial environments and help engineers design for varying climate and process conditions without compromising motion quality.
Yes. The 16 mm diameter, 420 mm stroke, external guiding system and adjustable cushioning provide a compact yet capable actuator for pick-and-place, transfer, and assembly tasks. The magnetic piston supports easy sensor integration for position feedback, while the durable build and dust protection help maintain cycle accuracy in repeated operations.
Formal certifications (such as CE, SIL, or IP ratings) are not listed in the provided data for this model. For compliance specifics, consult the official datasheet or contact Norgren to confirm current certifications and any optional safety or environmental standards applicable to your region and application.
Key features such as an adjustable cushioning system, a magnetic piston for sensor feedback, and interchangeable parts with the M/46000 series help reduce downtime and spare-parts stocking. The robust sealing system and dust protection also extend service intervals, contributing to lower maintenance costs and a favorable return on investment in high-cycle automation environments.
