Norgren M/60288/180 Rotary Vane Actuator - 180° Rotation
Part Number: M/60288/180
Quick Summary
Norgren M/60288/180 Rotary Vane Actuator delivers precise 180° rotation for compact automation in packaging and assembly lines. Engineers often struggle with torque limits, space constraints, and inconsistent motion when fitting actuators into tight layouts. In practice, buyers look for CE compliance and, where applicable, SIL ratings or IP protection, and should verify exact certifications with their supplier. This compact pneumatic actuator combines 123 Nm of torque with a stainless steel barrel and aluminium body for durability, while fixed and adjustable rotation angles from 90 to 270 degrees offer flexible mounting. The result is reliable performance, easier installation, and lower lifecycle costs in industrial automation setups.

FAQs
Install using QM/60288/21 mounting kit designed for M/60280 and M/60285 actuators, matching the C-style footprint to your base. Ensure proper alignment with the G1/2 port connections and secure the actuator before connecting Pneufit C fittings (C0K510848, C02470848, C02250848). This minimizes misalignment and simplifies future maintenance with the included service kit QM/60288/00.
The M/60288/180 delivers up to 123 Nm of torque with a 180° rotation, and offers buffer cushioning to reduce impact loads at end-stroke. This combination improves repeatability, reduces wear on downstream hardware, and supports high-cycle indexing in packaging and automation tasks.
Yes. The unit uses G1/2 porting and is compatible with Pneufit C push-in fittings (examples include C0K510848). The available adapters (C02470848, C02250848) and standard 8 mm tubing enable straightforward integration with common air lines and quick field reconfiguration.
The data sheet highlights pneumatic design details and standard material/operating specs but does not list explicit CE, SIL, or IP ratings. Verify exact certifications with the supplier for your region and application, especially where hazardous environments or functional safety requirements apply.
Maintenance is supported by the QM/60288/00 service kit, with nitrile seal replacements and wear parts designed for periodic maintenance. Regular inspection of mounting hardware, seals, and lubrication (as per your plant’s maintenance schedule) will help sustain performance and extend the actuator’s service life in high-cycle applications.
