Norgren M/60281/180 Rotary Vane Actuator - 180°
Part Number: M/60281/180
Quick Summary
Norgren M/60281/180 Rotary vane actuator offers precise pneumatic actuation for compact automation assemblies. Engineers often struggle with limited space and inconsistent motion in small automation cells, which slows cycles and increases wear. This actuator is designed with CE compliance in mind and rugged construction, featuring a stainless steel barrel, aluminium body, and nitrile seals to withstand demanding environments. With a 180° rotation, double-acting operation, and fixed or adjustable angles, it delivers reliable performance, while the compact footprint reduces system complexity and component count. This makes it a practical choice for packaging, material handling, and pick-and-place tasks in harsh factories.

FAQs
The actuator uses an M5 port and is compatible with Pneufit C push-in fittings (example: C0K510405) and related adapters. This enables quick tubing connections with 4 mm to 2.5 mm bore tubes, simplifying installation and reducing assembly time in compact systems.
Key specs include 0.38 Nm torque, 180° rotation, double-acting operation, and cushion buffering. The operating range is 2–7 bar, with an operating temperature of -5 to 60 °C. The port size is M5, and the actuator is built with an aluminium body, stainless steel barrel, and nitrile seals for durability.
Yes. The 180° rotation and compact form factor are ideal for packaging and pick-and-place tasks in tight spaces. The double-acting design provides reliable actuation, while buffer cushioning helps protect delicate components and reduce vibration during indexing and placement.
The design supports standard industry compliance paths, with considerations for CE conformity and robust construction suitable for demanding environments. Material choices ( aluminium body, stainless steel barrel, nitrile seals) provide durability in challenging plants, while the rugged mounting and service options help maintain compliance through the lifecycle.
Invest in the QM/60281/00 service kits for M/60280-series actuators and use the QM/60281/21 mounting style for straightforward installation. Regular service and replacement parts reduce downtime, and the modular design simplifies field retrofits or upgrades in existing lines.
