Norgren M/162080/MI/180 Rotary Actuator - 180° Rotation
Part Number: M/162080/MI/180
Quick Summary
Norgren M/162080/MI/180 rotary actuator is a compact pneumatic actuator that delivers 180° shaft rotation for automated assembly and positioning tasks. In tight machinery, space constraints and misalignment can derail cycles; this unit maintains precise motion with adjustable cushioning and a robust anodised aluminium body. For safety and regulatory compliance, verify applicable certifications and compatibility—CE marking and IP-rated environments are commonly required, with SIL ratings referenced in the datasheet where applicable. This model from the M/162000/MI family delivers high torque in a small footprint and integrates smoothly with standard Pneufit C fittings, improving installation speed and overall line reliability while supporting maintenance-friendly, modular automation design.

FAQs
This actuator supports multiple mounting arrangements for flexible integration: C - Foot Mounting (80mm bore), Front or Rear Stud Mounting (80/100mm bore), and Front/Rear Flange Mounting (80mm bore). Choose the mount that preserves alignment and minimizes frame modification. Ensure bolt hole spacing matches your frame and use appropriate screws to maintain stiffness during cycles.
The 80 mm bore delivers up to 94.2 Nm torque, enabling strong actuation in tight spaces. The 1–10 bar range supports rapid cycling with margin for cushioning; for optimum speed and damping, select around mid-range (5–8 bar) and adjust cushioning to suit end-of-stroke requirements without overloading the mechanism.
Yes, thanks to its double-acting design and adjustable cushioning, it provides repeatable, smooth motion. For position feedback and repeatability, pair with a position switch such as the M/50 LSU/5V and ensure flush mounting with the profile to minimize backlash and misalignment during indexing tasks.
Always verify the datasheet for exact certifications applicable to your region. Common requirements include CE marking for Europe, IP ratings for enclosure protection, and SIL safety considerations where functional safety is involved. Confirm these against your system’s risk assessment and the specific application environment.
Use the QM/162080/00 service kits designed for M/162000 series to maintain performance. Regularly inspect cushioning and seals ( polyurethane ), and check pneumatic connections for leaks. The range of mountings, switches, and tubing compatibility (PA2 series) supports ongoing reliability and quick field servicing.
