FAQs
Install with proper alignment to avoid side loads and ensure the G1/2 port is connected to a compatible regulator or manifold. The 10 inch diameter footprint requires appropriate mounting brackets and clearances. The M/31101 is compatible with standard Norgren accessories in the M/31000 series, simplifying retrofits and line upgrades.
Key specs include a -40 to 70 C operating range, 0 to 8 bar operating pressure, 10 inch nominal diameter, 100 mm stroke, single-acting operation, non-magnetic construction, and a theoretical force of 26450 N. The port size is G1/2, and it is designed for high-force, short-stroke actuation in demanding environments.
Best applications are short-stroke, high-force tasks such as clamping, rapid actuation, vibration isolation, and high-load positioning on conveyors or presses. Its maintenance-free design reduces downtime in packaging, material handling, and assembly lines, while the robust footprint supports integration into compact automation cells.
Check the current datasheet and supplier declarations for CE marking and any industry-specific certifications relevant to your region. SIL and IP considerations depend on the exact safety architecture and environment, so confirm with the datasheet and your risk assessment to ensure regulatory alignment.
The maintenance-free design minimizes lubrication needs and wear, reducing routine servicing and downtime. Its high-load capability enables faster cycle times, improving throughput. When combined with straightforward installation and robust vibration isolation, total cost of ownership decreases, delivering a tangible return through increased uptime and predictable performance.
