Norgren M/31103 Air Bellow - 10\" Diameter, 330mm Stroke
Part Number: M/31103
Quick Summary
Norgren M/31103 Air Bellow is a single-acting pneumatic actuator that delivers reliable linear motion for automation lines and material handling. In many OEM environments, inconsistent stroke and slow actuation can slow throughput and elevate maintenance costs. This model provides a robust 10\" diameter and 330mm stroke, enabling strong force transmission and long travel in constrained spaces. For compliance and safety, many customers look for CE certification, IP-rated enclosures, and SIL-capable configurations across related product lines; while exact certifications depend on regional requirements, Norgren's portfolios are designed to meet these expectations. By integrating this bellow with standard pneumatic supplies and mounting patterns, you gain reliable actuation with lower lifecycle costs and improved uptime, while safeguarding quality in high-cycle applications.

FAQs
To install the M/31103, align the mounting faces with your machine frame using the standard end-of-stroke cushions and compatible mounting brackets. Connect the air supply with standard pneumatic fittings, ensuring correct polarity for single-acting actuation. Verify the line pressure and ensure clean, dry air to minimize wear. Confirm compatibility with your controller or PLC I/O for sequencing and safety interlocks. Finally, perform a functional test across a full travel cycle to ensure smooth extension and retraction under load.
Key specifications include a 10 inch bore diameter and a 330 mm stroke, with single-acting actuation. The data set does not specify operating pressure ranges or force at given pressures; to determine force, apply your system’s compressed-air pressure while observing the device’s extension under load. For precision, validate against your application’s cycle times and expected end positions, and reference the mounting pattern and compatibility with your pneumatic network.
Yes, for packaging automation the M/31103 offers a combination of long travel and robust force in a compact footprint, enabling precise pick-and-place and part transfer in limited spaces. Its single-acting design simplifies plumbing and control, which reduces installation time. Ensure your packaging cycle requires a 330 mm travel and that your air supply can sustain repeatable extension without excessive cycling loads.
The provided data does not specify certifications for the M/31103. In practice, verify CE marking for European compliance, appropriate IP ratings for your environment, and SIL or safety-related compliance for safety-critical applications through the supplier or regional distributor. If your system requires specific certifications, request formal documentation from Norgren or your authorized channel partner.
Maintenance requirements for a single-acting air bellow are typically low, focusing on air quality and regular inspection of mounting hardware, seals, and connections. ROI is driven by reduced cycle times, lower energy use from simplified actuation, and longer service life due to robust construction and fewer moving parts. Plan preventive checks aligned with your production schedule to maximize uptime and extend asset life.
