Norgren M/146180/M/300 Rodless Cylinder - External Guide
Part Number: M/146180/M/300
Quick Summary
Norgren M/146180/M/300 Rodless Cylinder delivers precise linear actuation for automated handling applications. In demanding production lines, engineers struggle with misalignment, maintenance downtime, and space constraints; this external-guide design minimizes side loads, simplifies mounting, and extends service life even in high-cycle environments. The Lintra Plus family aligns with CE safety practices, features dust-protection as standard, and uses a magnetic piston to support reliable sensing and control integration in automated cells. By leveraging interchangeable compatibility with series M/46000 and a robust anodised aluminium barrel, this solution delivers predictable performance, reduced downtime, and easier retrofit across existing pneumatic systems. The result is higher productivity and a lower total cost of ownership for modern factories.

With an 80 mm cylinder diameter and a 300 mm stroke, the Lintra Plus rodless cylinder provides stable, repeatable motion and reduced side-load wear, boosting uptime in high-cycle automation cells. This robust external guiding system is ideal for pick-and-place, material transfer, and assembly lines where reach and precision matter. The device uses a lightweight extrusion with universal mounting grooves, accelerating installation and enabling seamless retrofit across the M/46000 family, which shortens commissioning time and reduces downtime. The patented sealing system paired with standard dust protection minimizes leakage and extends service life in dirty environments, lowering maintenance costs for conveyors and packaging lines. The included magnetic piston supports straightforward end-of-stroke sensing, enabling reliable PLC integration without complex retrofits. Made from anodised aluminium with polyurethane piston head seals and nitrile seals, the cylinder offers corrosion resistance and long-term wear performance in challenging environments. Adjustable cushioning reduces impact and noise, protecting guides and extending cycle life on high-speed transfers. Overall interchangeability within the Lintra Plus platform and M/46000 series supports faster upgrades, lower spare-part inventories, and consistent performance across fleets.

FAQs
Yes. The M/146180/M/300 is designed with interchangeability in mind and aligns with the Lintra Plus family, including compatibility with the M/146100 range. This simplifies upgrades, reduces additional mounting requirements, and supports consistent performance across the Lintra Plus platform and existing M-series lines. Ensure mounting grooves and porting align with your current configuration during retrofit planning.
The cylinder operates on compressed air at 1 to 8 bar and within a temperature range of -30 to 80 °C (-22 to 176 °F). It features a G1/2 port size, 80 mm cylinder diameter, and a 300 mm stroke with adjustable cushioning. External guiding reduces side loads, while the magnetic piston supports sensing with standard reed-switch compatible accessories.
Ideal for packaging, pick-and-place, and material transfer in manufacturing lines where space is tight and precision matters. The external guide minimizes misalignment, and the 300 mm stroke provides reach in compact layouts. Its compatibility with Lintra Plus and M/46000 series ensures easy retrofits and scalable automation across multiple cells.
The unit is designed to meet European safety expectations with CE-compliant practices and robust sealing for dusty environments. Its magnetic piston supports straightforward sensor integration for safety and control systems. Verify specific regional certifications and regulatory requirements for your application as part of procurement and qualification testing.
Durable anodised aluminium construction with polyurethane piston seals and nitrile seals delivers long service intervals and resistance to wear. Dust protection and adjustable cushioning reduce maintenance and replacement costs, while interchangeable compatibility with the M/46000 series shortens spare parts diversification. Overall, faster upgrades and fewer unplanned downtimes drive a favorable total cost of ownership.
