Norgren RA/192080/JM/50 ISO Compact Cylinder - ISO 21287

With an 80 mm bore and a 50 mm stroke, the RA/192080/JM/50 delivers decisive linear actuation in a compact ISO Compact cylinder footprint, enabling compact machine layouts. The double-acting design provides full forward and retraction strokes from a single source, while a G1/8 port supports easy integration into standard pneumatic circuits, the combination of size and stroke makes it suitable for constrained spaces in automated pick-and-place or material handling applications. A magnetic piston is included as standard, enabling reliable position sensing and flush-mountable switches that sit neatly within the profile for clean, compact assemblies. In addition, low-friction seals reduce wear, minimize hysteresis, and extend service life even under high-cycle operation. The result is predictable actuation and reduced maintenance intervals, which lowers total cost of ownership over the cylinder’s life. Buffer cushioning softens end-of-stroke impact, protecting adjacent components and reducing machine downtime from unexpected shocks. This feature translates into smoother motion profiles, less vibration transfer, and longer life for connected actuators and sensors. The cylinder’s motion characteristics support higher cycle frequencies and more stable process control in packaging lines and automated assembly. Durable construction features an anodised aluminium barrel for light weight and resistance to corrosion, paired with a martensitic stainless steel piston rod that maintains straightness and wear resistance. These materials deliver reliable performance in wet or dusty production floors, helping maintain repeatable strokes and reducing the need for frequent recalibration. Operating conditions cover -5 to 80 °C and 1 to 10 bar, making this cylinder suitable for a wide range of air systems, climates, and plant layouts. Conformance to ISO 21287 and the robust build simplify supplier qualification and reduce changeover risk in automation lines, while ensuring compatibility with commonly used sensors and control gear. Compatibility and installation advantages include standard mounting patterns and the option for switches to be mounted flush with the body, enabling compact layouts, tidy wiring, and easier retrofits. The 80 mm bore and standardized profile allow easy cross-reference with other RA/192000/M family components, facilitating scalable automation designs across multiple machines. Some teams worry about IP ratings or CE documentation; while exact ratings aren’t listed here, the design emphasizes sealed, long-life seals and magnetic sensing to support safe, reliable operation in demanding environments. For projects requiring formal certification, the datasheet and CAD resources provide the precise declarations, interfaces, and installation recommendations engineers need to plan validation tests.
