Norgren M/60280/180 Rotary vane actuator - 180° rotation
Part Number: M/60280/180
Quick Summary
Norgren M/60280/180 rotary vane actuator is a compact pneumatic drive that delivers precise 180° rotation for automation and assembly tasks. When space is at a premium and repeatable positioning matters, this small yet robust actuator helps avoid complex linkages and misalignment. Although the datasheet highlights the mechanical build, the M/60280 range aligns with common industry standards and supports a wide range of fittings, tubes, and mounting options; customers typically verify certifications such as CE conformity, SIL-ready implementations, and IP-rated protection on the full spec sheet. The actuator uses stainless steel barrels, aluminium bodies, and nitrile seals to withstand demanding environments, while Pneufit C fittings and M5 ports enable fast, reliable installations. This translates to lower assembly time and predictable performance in daily operations.

FAQs
Begin with the QM/60280/21 mounting interface and confirm correct orientation to achieve the desired 180° swing. Connect the M5 port to a standard 4 mm Pneufit C fitting, route tubing PA2-0004100 or PA2-0004025C as required, and apply operating pressure within the 2–7 bar range. Add buffer cushioning to minimize impact and ensure repeatable positioning across cycles. Verify leak-free connections and test movement limits before production. This approach minimizes misalignment and reduces commissioning time.
Key specs include a torque of 0.15 Nm at a 180° rotation, operation under 2–7 bar compressed air, and a port size of M5. The actuator uses a stainless steel barrel and aluminium body with nitrile rubber seals, and offers double-acting operation with buffer cushioning for smooth stops. It is designed for M/60280 range compatibility and supports standard Pneufit C fittings.
Yes. The product ecosystem includes Pneufit C push-in fittings such as C02250405 (straight), C02470405 (90° elbow), and C0K510405 (banjo flow control). These fittings, combined with the M5 port and 4 mm tubing, enable rapid, leak-free connections and flexible routing for compact automation installations.
This actuator excels in tight spaces requiring precise 180° rotation, such as assembly jigs, clamping stations, packaging lines, and pick-and-place fixtures. Its compact form, light-weight aluminium body, and robust stainless steel barrel support reliable cycling in harsh environments, while buffer cushioning reduces vibration and wear during repeat cycles.
