Norgren M/162032/MI/180 Rotary Actuator - 180° Rotation
Part Number: M/162032/MI/180
Quick Summary
The Norgren M/162032/MI/180 Rotary Actuator is a compact, double-acting pneumatic actuator designed for precise 180° rotation in automated production cells. Engineers often wrestle with maintaining a small footprint while achieving smooth, repeatable motion and easy integration with existing air lines. While this unit supports common industry standards, verify CE marking, IP rating variants, and SIL readiness on the datasheet for your specific configuration. The combination of a 32 mm bore, adjustable cushioning, and flush-mount switch compatibility delivers reliable performance in space-constrained environments, helping reduce downtime and maintenance costs. For manufacturers seeking predictable cycle times and scalable integration, this actuator aligns with lean automation and robust plant-wide control strategies.

Feature → Business Impact → Application: The M/162032/MI/180 uses compressed air to generate repeatable force with a 32 mm bore, delivering 7.2 Nm torque for reliable 180° rotation in small- to mid-size pick-and-place operations. This translates to consistent positioning accuracy and reduced cycle time in packaging and assembly lines. Application: ideal for compact automation cells requiring precise end-of-stroke control and durable metal construction. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Operating pressure from 1 to 10 bar ensures compatibility with standard plant air systems, minimizing extra hardware and pressure regulation costs. Impact: stable performance across temperature variations and varying supply conditions. Application: suitable for environments with fluctuating air pressure or remote installations. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Port size G1/8 and Pneufit C fittings enable quick, secure connections, reducing installation time and leak risk. Application: retrofit into existing lines or new lines with standard push-in fittings. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Anodised aluminium body and barrel protect against corrosion, extending service life in humid or dusty environments. Application: long-term reliability in factory floors and outdoor-adjacent machinery. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Adjustable cushioning provides soft deceleration at end-of-stroke, lowering vibration and wear. Application: high-cycle operation where component longevity and repeatability matter. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Multiple mounting options (front/rear flange, foot mounting) and flush-switch compatibility simplify integration with existing frames and control panels. Application: rapid deployment on 32 mm DIN-style assemblies and standardized automation platforms. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Service kits (QM/162032/00) and readily available spare parts reduce maintenance downtime and extend asset lifespan. Application: predictable total cost of ownership in continuous production environments.

FAQs
The actuator supports front/rear flange mounting and foot mounting for a 32 mm bore, matching common 32 mm automation frames. This flexibility simplifies retrofit projects and enables straightforward alignment with existing guide rails and support brackets. For installation, verify the mounting pattern of QA/8032/21, QM/8032/35, and QA/8032/22 options to ensure chassis compatibility and minimize rework.
Key specs include a 32 mm cylinder diameter, 180° rotation, double-acting operation, 7.2 Nm torque, G1/8 port size, and adjustable cushioning. Operating temperature ranges from -5 to 80 °C with a service pressure range of 1 to 10 bar. These figures support reliable performance in typical factory environments and help determine suitable cycle rates and load capacity.
Yes, its 180° rotation, 32 mm bore, and adjustable cushioning provide controlled end-of-stroke deceleration and repeatable positioning ideal for precision pick-and-place tasks. When integrating with control systems, pair with compatible reed switches (e.g., M/50 LSU/5V) for position sensing and ensure Pneufit C fittings and 6 mm tubing are correctly sized for leak-free operation.
Certifications for this product family commonly include CE marking and IP ratings for environmental protection, with SIL readiness depending on configuration. Since exact certification details depend on the specific variant, always consult the datasheet and service kit documentation (M/162032/00) for the exact compliance and update status before deployment in regulated environments.
Service kits for this model family are listed under QM/162032/00 and cover wear parts, seals, and related components for M/162000, 32 mm systems. Regular maintenance reduces unexpected downtime and parts costs, extending actuator life and maximizing uptime. ROI is improved through longer service intervals, lower replacement costs, and better predictive maintenance planning aligned with line throughput goals.
