Norgren PM/31061 Air Bellow - 6 inch diameter, 55 mm stroke

Part Number: PM/31061
Manufacturer
Norgren
Part number
PM/31061

Quick Summary

Norgren PM/31061 air bellow is a single acting pneumatic actuator designed for high force, short stroke applications. In demanding automation lines, friction and lubrication requirements can erode uptime; this unit mitigates that risk with frictionless operation and no lubrication needs. Industry standards such as CE compliance and IP rating requirements are common expectations for pneumatic hardware in harsh environments, and SIL level considerations may apply in safety critical systems. The combination of a 6 inch nominal diameter and 55 mm stroke, along with a lightweight aluminium body, delivers predictable actuation in compact footprints. This translates to faster installation, reduced total cost of ownership, and reliable vibration isolation across automotive, packaging, and general industrial equipment.

Frictionless operation reduces wear and eliminates lubrication needs, delivering lower maintenance costs and higher line uptime. For engineers, that means fewer service intervals and less contamination risk in clean environments, making PM/31061 ideal for packaging lines and robotic cells that run continuously. The actuator delivers a high theoretical force of 11400 N within a compact 6 inch diameter and a 55 mm stroke, enabling smaller actuation assemblies or reduced system height while delivering the necessary clamp or press force in stamping applications. The aluminium body keeps weight manageable and enhances corrosion resistance, while its non magnetic construction supports precise measurement and metrology tasks in automated cells. With a G1/2 port and 0 to 8 bar operating range, installation pairs easily with standard plant air systems, reducing piping complexity and commissioning time. The single acting design simplifies mounting and controls, enabling straightforward retrofits in existing lines and minimizing hardware changes during line upgrades. Compatibility with a wide air supply and straightforward maintenance cycles translates to lower total cost of ownership and predictable performance under vibration and heat in continuous production environments. In short, PM/31061 combines robust force, compact footprint, and maintenance simplicity to improve overall equipment effectiveness in industrial automation settings.

FAQs

PM/31061 uses a G1/2 port size, which aligns with common pneumatic fittings. Its single acting design simplifies mounting and reduces the number of required fasteners. For installation, ensure clean, dry compressed air supply, orient the actuator to minimize bending moments, and use appropriate mounting brackets to secure the aluminium body without restricting stroke.
The actuator operates from 0 to 8 bar (0 to 116 psi) and is rated for ambient temperatures from -30 to 50 C (-22 to 122 F). This makes PM/31061 suitable for typical factory floors and controlled environments, including cold start situations and moderate heat, while maintaining consistent force and stroke in short cycle operations.
Yes. PM/31061 features a high vibration isolation level and a non magnetic aluminium body, which helps protect nearby sensors and measurement devices from magnetic interference. This makes it well suited for CNC, metrology, and assembly lines where vibration and magnetic sensitivity can impact accuracy.
The device provides a theoretical force of 11400 N with a stroke of 55 mm. It has a nominal diameter of 6 inches and a G1/2 port, enabling strong actuation within a compact footprint. These specs support short stroke control tasks such as clamping, pressing, and fast line positioning in automated processes.
PM/31061 is designed for frictionless operation with no lubrication required, reducing maintenance intervals and keeping contaminants out of the air stream. To maximize performance, ensure the air supply remains clean and dry, and perform routine checks on seals and fittings during standard preventive maintenance cycles.
