Norgren M/162050/MI/180 Rotary Actuator - 180° Rotation
Part Number: M/162050/MI/180
Quick Summary
Norgren M/162050/MI/180 Rotary actuator delivers precise double-acting rotation for compact automation in packaging and assembly lines. Engineers often wrestle with flush mounting, adjustable cushioning, and reliable performance under variable air pressures. In typical automation environments, CE compliance, IP-rated ruggedness, and SIL-conscious safety integration are essential. This actuator's 50 mm bore, 1–10 bar operating range, and anodised aluminium body help you design robust machines that meet demanding cycles and harsh environments. By integrating standard Pneufit C fittings and multiple mounting options, you can reduce setup time and spare part inventory. The result is higher line throughput, lower maintenance costs, and better predictability for OEMs and integrators.

Feature: 50 mm bore with 23.4 Nm torque provides high actuation force in a compact package. Business Impact: Optimizes torque density, enabling smaller frames and shorter cycle times while maintaining reliable positioning. Application: packaging lines and small- footprint automation modules where space is at a premium.Feature: 180° rotation with adjustable cushioning delivers controlled end-of-stroke deceleration. Business Impact: Reduces impact loads, minimizes wear, and extends actuator life, cutting downtime and maintenance costs. Application: pick-and-place, rotary transfer stations, and assembly cells requiring smooth, repeatable motion.Feature: Double-acting operation powered by compressed air across a 1–10 bar range. Business Impact: Flexible deployment across existing plant air systems without added power hardware, improving integration speed. Application: general automation and index-driven machines where bidirectional force is needed.Feature: Anodised aluminium body and barrel with polyurethane seals. Business Impact: Superior corrosion resistance and longevity in challenging environments, lowering total cost of ownership. Application: production lines with washdowns, humidity exposure, or temperature swings.Feature: G1/4 port, compatible Pneufit C fittings, and multiple mountings (front/rear flange, foot, stud). Business Impact: Quick installation, modular retrofit capability, and reduced engineering time. Application: OEM machinery and retrofits where flexible mounting and easy plumbing are critical.Feature: Service kits and range compatibility (QM/162050/00; M/162000/MI family). Business Impact: Simplified maintenance planning, faster parts replacement, and consistent performance across the M/162000 series. Application: field service programs and preventive maintenance schedules.

FAQs
The actuator supports front or rear flange mounting (50 mm bore), foot mounting, and front/rear stud mounting, plus Pneufit C push-in fittings. This mix enables fast, flexible installation in existing machines and minimizes custom fabrication. Pair with service kits to simplify preventive maintenance and spares planning.
Key specs include a 50 mm cylinder diameter, 23.4 Nm torque, 180° rotation, G1/4 port size, operating pressure of 1–10 bar, operating temperature from -5 to 80 °C, and double-acting operation with adjustable cushioning. These ensure reliable, repeatable positioning in compact automation systems.
Yes. The double-acting design with adjustable cushioning provides smooth starts and stops, reducing wear. The anodised aluminium body offers durability in busy packaging environments, while standard fittings and mounting options speed installation. For high-cycle lines, verify supply pressure stability and use the QM/162050/00 service kit for maintenance readiness.
In typical automation environments, CE compliance, IP-rated ruggedness, and SIL-conscious safety integration are essential. While the product data does not list specific certifications, these standards are commonly expected for industrial pneumatic actuators and should be validated in your procurement and risk assessment process.
Use the QM/162050/00 service kit for scheduled maintenance on M/162050/MI/180 units and leverage compatibility with the M/162000/MI range to standardize spares. The combination reduces downtime, extends service life, and improves consistency across multiple machines in an automation line.
