Feature → Business Impact → Application: 40 mm bore and 400 mm stroke deliver a compact yet high‑travel actuator capable of handling medium payloads without sacrificing speed or precision, reducing cycle times in pick-and-place and material handling tasks. This translates to higher throughput and lower per‑part handling costs in automated packaging lines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Adaptive Cushioning System (ACS) manages impact forces at end‑of‑stroke, extending seal life and reducing vibration transfer to downstream fixtures, which improves overall machine uptime and reduces maintenance intervals in high‑duty cycles. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Magnetic piston enables reliable proximity switch integration for safe and repeatable position sensing, simplifying control logic and enabling faster fault detection in robotics and end‑of‑arm tooling. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Anodised aluminium barrel and stainless steel piston rod provide corrosion resistance and structural rigidity, delivering longer service life in harsh production environments and easing compliance with routine cleaning and sterilisation protocols. Feature → Business Impact → Application: ISO 15552 standard ensures cross‑vendor interchangeability, reducing spares inventory and enabling quicker line upgrades or relocations across packaging and automation cells. Feature → Business Impact → Application: G1/4 port size and compatibility with Pneufit C fittings support straightforward plumbing and modular system expansion, cutting installation time and enabling scalable automation architectures.

FAQs
RA/802040/M/400 uses standard ISOLine dimensions and a 40 mm bore, with mountings available such as front/rear flange mounts and piston rod clevis options. For quickest integration, pair with compatible QM/8040 or QA/8040 mounting accessories and select a suitable switch mounting bracket (e.g., QM/834x family) to place sensors near the end-of-stroke. Verify port size is G1/4 and confirm bracket spacing aligns with your chosen stroke length to avoid interference during travel.
The RA/802040/M/400 delivers a theoretical force of 754 N. It operates across 1 to 16 bar (14 to 232 psi). This enables reliable actuation across typical industrial air systems while allowing headroom for dynamic loads in indexing, clamping, and actuation tasks in automated lines.
Yes. The 40 mm bore with a 400 mm stroke is well suited for medium payloads in fast-paced packaging and pick-and-place operations. The Adaptive Cushioning System minimizes impact forces at end‑of‑stroke, reducing rebound and wear, while the magnetic piston aids quick sensing for precise cycle timing, collectively supporting high-throughput applications.
The RA/802040/M/400 is designed to ISO 15552 interoperability within Norgren’s ISOLine family. While this document notes ISO conformity and typical rugged features, CE marking and IP-rated variants are common in the broader ISOLine range. When environmental protection or regulatory labeling is required, select a version from the same family that explicitly states CE compliance and IP rating for your enclosure type.
For longevity, use the standard service kits listed in the RA/802000/M family, including components like seals and cushions compatible with PRA/801, PRA/802, PRA/803, RA/801, RA/802, RA/803 units. Monitor the seals and ACS components for wear, and replace with Genuine Norgren parts to maintain cushion performance. The combination of ACS, corrosion‑resistant materials, and modular mounting reduces spare variety and downtime, delivering lower total cost of ownership over the equipment life.
