Norgren M/60285/90 Rotary Vane Actuator - 90° Rotation
Part Number: M/60285/90
Quick Summary
Norgren M/60285/90 Rotary Vane Actuator converts compressed air into precise 90° rotary motion for compact automation tasks. Engineers often struggle with bulky actuators that won't fit in tight spaces or deliver consistent stroke across cycles. Key certifications to look for include CE compliance for Europe, IP ratings for environmental protection, and SIL safety considerations where required. Designed for reliability, this actuator combines a stainless steel barrel, aluminium body, and nitrile seals to reduce maintenance, improve uptime, and lower operating costs. Its mounting options and standard pneumatic fittings simplify installation and retrofit projects, enabling faster deployment and measurable productivity gains.

Compact design and rugged construction deliver a space-efficient pneumatic actuator with extended service life. The stainless steel barrel paired with an aluminium body reduces weight while withstanding tough factory conditions, lowering overall inertia and improving response times. In practice this means faster cycle rates on small automation stages and easier integration with compact pick-and-place modules, conveyors, and packaging equipment that require reliable 90° rotation without crowding the assembly area. Operating range and control: It operates on compressed air from 2 to 10 bar, tolerates -5 to 60 C, and uses a G1/8 port compatible with common Pneufit C fittings. The 5.8 Nm torque supports mid-load tasks while keeping airline networks uncluttered, reducing leakage opportunities and energy waste. This translates to measurable efficiency gains and predictable force in automated fixtures requiring precise, repeatable rotation. Rotation and cushioning: The 90° rotation is fixed on this model, with the option to choose varying angles within the M/60285 family for other SKUs. Double-acting operation provides reverse strokes without external dampers, while buffer cushioning softens starts and stops—extending seal life and reducing vibration in high-cycle applications such as robotic grippers and packaging lines. Mounting options QM/60285/21 and QM/60285/22 simplify installation into existing frames. Fittings and tubing: Pneufit C push-in fittings (C0K510618, C02250618, C02470618) together with standard PA2 tubing (PA2-0006100 and PA2-0006025C) reduce assembly time and leakage risk. This compatibility makes it easy to source spares and maintain line integrity. The M/60285 range is designed for straightforward retrofits from legacy Norgren systems, preserving capital investments while upgrading performance. Industry value: For engineers and maintenance teams, this actuator delivers reliable performance with a compact footprint, robust materials, and simple field-service procedures. The combination of 90° rotation and adjustable mounting options reduces system integration time, while the buffer cushioning and high-quality seals lower downtime and replacement costs in critical lines such as packaging, assembly, and material handling.

FAQs
The M/60285/90 supports mounting styles QM/60285/21 (type C) and QM/60285/22 (flange, style B) designed for M/60280 and M/60285 rotary vane actuators. Using the appropriate mounting reduces installation time, aligns the actuator with existing frames, and minimizes misalignment that can cause wear. Choosing the correct mounting also simplifies service access and future maintenance.
This actuator provides 5.8 Nm of torque with a fixed 90° rotation and double-acting operation. This combination supports mid-load applications such as small grippers and fixture actuation without oversized machinery. The explicit 90° stroke ensures predictable motion, while the double-acting design delivers consistent push and pull across cycles, improving repeatability in packaging and assembly tasks.
Yes. The unit uses a G1/8 port and is compatible with Pneufit C push-in fittings, including models C0K510618, C02250618, and C02470618. Tubing options PA2-0006100 and PA2-0006025C support 100 m and 25 m lengths, respectively. This compatibility simplifies sourcing, reduces assembly time, and minimizes leakage risks across long runs in production lines.
The barrel is stainless steel, the body is aluminium, and seals are nitrile rubber. This combination offers corrosion resistance, light weight, and good sealing performance under pneumatic duty cycles. Cushioning reduces impact forces, extending seal life and lowering maintenance frequency. Overall durability supports high cycle rates found in conveyors, packaging, and automated fixtures.
Plan for the included mounting options and standard Pneufit C fittings to minimize retrofit time and leakage. Use the provided tubing (PA2 series) to avoid splicing, and confirm operating pressure within 2 to 10 bar for optimal performance. With a compact footprint and durable construction, the M/60285/90 helps boost uptime and reduce total cost of ownership in automation cells.
