Norgren M/162100/MI/180 Rotary Actuator - 180° Rotation

Part Number: M/162100/MI/180
Manufacturer
Norgren
Part number
M/162100/MI/180

Quick Summary

Norgren M/162100/MI/180 rotary actuator delivers precise 180-degree motion for compact automation systems. In practice, engineers face stroke limits, misalignment, and vibration that degrade cycle times and increase wear when using conventional pneumatic options. Certifications like CE marking and SIL safety integration are critical for compliant production lines, while enclosure IP ratings depend on the environment. This actuator combines a robust anodised aluminium body with adjustable cushioning to optimize performance and longevity, and it offers mounting versatility to fit existing frames. With a 100 mm bore and 157.8 Nm torque, it enables repeatable orientation in tight spaces, delivering reliability, reduced maintenance, and improved throughput across packaging, automation, and material handling workflows.

Rotary rack-and-pinion design provides true 180-degree rotation with up to 157.8 Nm torque, enabling precise orientation of parts in confined spaces and faster cycle times in automated assemblies. This translates to improved throughput in packaging lines and pick-and-place tasks, while the double-acting cylinder delivers controlled actuation across a broad pressure range. The operating window of 1–10 bar and temperatures from -5 to 80 °C ensures stable performance in harsh manufacturing environments, reducing the need for frequent replacements. Adjustable cushioning minimizes end-of-stroke impact, lowering vibration and wear on both actuator and downstream tooling, which translates to longer service life and lower maintenance costs. The anodised aluminium body and barrel provide corrosion resistance and a lightweight yet rugged construction suitable for long-running lines. Fittings and mountings compatibility, including Pneufit C interfaces and multiple mounting options, simplify retrofits and maintenance planning. With a 100 mm bore, 180° rotation, and modular mounting, the unit integrates cleanly with existing frames, conveying systems, and clamping setups, avoiding costly mechanical redesigns. Service kits and spare parts are available to support preventive maintenance and quick swaps when needed, helping to protect uptime in continuous production.

FAQs

The actuator uses a G1/2 port and 100 mm bore, compatible with Pneufit C components (C0K511248, C02251248, C02471248). Mounting options QA/8100/21, QM/8080/35, and QA/8100/22 support front, rear, or flange installations. For retrofit projects, verify enclosure access, ensure proper torque on mounting bolts, and connect the 12 mm pneumatic lines to the G1/2 ports to maintain optimal seal integrity.
Expect 180° rotation with a maximum torque of 157.8 Nm, enabling reliable orientation of parts in tight spaces. Operates on compressed air from 1 to 10 bar and at temperatures from -5 to 80 °C, offering stable, repeatable motion for picking, placing, and clamping tasks in packaging and assembly lines.
Yes. The 180° rotation, robust aluminium body, and adjustable cushioning make it well-suited for rapid orientation and stop/start cycles common in packaging. The 100 mm bore provides substantial clamping and positioning force, while the modular mounting and compatible fittings simplify integration with existing conveyors and robotic end-of-arm tooling.
Design and application in industrial automation typically require CE conformity and appropriate SIL safety integration for system-level safety. When deployed in harsher environments, plan for enclosure protection (IP ratings) that suit the installation. Always reference the datasheet for installation-specific compliance and system-level safety requirements.
Maintenance can be supported with service kits such as QM/162100/00 for M/162000-series actuators, and replacement seals made from polyurethane plus cushioning components. Regular inspections of end-of-stroke cushioning, port fittings, and mounting integrity help sustain performance. The datasheet and CAD resources provide part numbers and replacement intervals for proactive maintenance.
