Norgren M/60287/180 Rotary Vane Actuator - 180° rotation
Part Number: M/60287/180
Quick Summary
The Norgren M/60287/180 rotary vane actuator delivers compact, high-torque pneumatic actuation suitable for tight-space automation. Engineers often struggle to fit robust rotary motion into constrained envelopes while maintaining precise, repeatable positioning. While CE compliance is common in modern pneumatic components, look for IP protection levels and SIL-rated options for safety-critical roles. This model combines 34.5 Nm torque with 180° rotation and a rugged double-acting design, offering reliable operation with minimal footprint. Designed for easy integration with standard fittings and mounting kits, it helps shorten setup times and improve overall line uptime. In production environments, that translates to lower installation costs, reduced machine downtime, and predictable performance across cycles.

FAQs
The actuator supports mounting via QM/60287/21, which is designed for M/60280 and M/60285 rotary vane actuators, providing a compatible mounting interface. It uses standard G3/8 porting and Pneufit C push-in fittings for quick hose connections. For retrofit work, verify alignment with existing frames and ensure the mounting pattern matches the QM specification to minimize modification work.
Key specs include a 34.5 Nm torque rating, 180° rotation, double-acting operation, port size G3/8, and a working pressure range of 2–10 bar. Operating temperature is -5 to 60 °C, with a stainless steel barrel, aluminum body, and nitrile seals. This combination yields reliable, repeatable positioning suitable for high-cycle automation tasks.
Yes, the M/60287/180 is engineered for repeated cycling in tight spaces. Buffer cushioning reduces end-stop shock, increasing cycle life and reducing vibration. Its 180° turn and compact footprint support rapid, repeatable positioning, while standard fittings and mounting simplify quick replacements during line changes or maintenance windows.
Verify CE compliance as a baseline for European regulatory alignment. For safety-critical applications, check available SIL-rated variants and confirm the IP protection level for your environment. Always consult the datasheet to confirm exact certifications for your configuration and consider factory testing to validate compliance in your specific use case.
