Norgren RA/8160/M/125 ISO Cylinder - ISO 15552
Part Number: RA/8160/M/125
Quick Summary
Norgren RA/8160/M/125 is a high-durability ISO cylinder delivering precise linear actuation for automated handling and assembly. In high-cycle environments, misalignment, wear, and inconsistent stroke can stall lines and escalate maintenance costs. This actuator conforms to ISO 15552 and ISO 6431, plus VDMA 24562 and NFE 49-003-1, ensuring interchangeability and reliable performance across OEM fleets. By combining a rugged anodised aluminium barrel, martensitic stainless steel piston rod, adjustable cushioning, and magnetic end-coding, it supports long life and predictable operation. With a broad range of mountings and readily integrated sensing options, installation is faster and retrofit less disruptive, delivering lower total cost of ownership. All of this translates to reduced downtime and faster ROI for high-demand pneumatic automation.

FAQs
RA/8160/M/125 is designed around the ISO 15552 standard, featuring a 160 mm bore and 125 mm stroke. It supports a wide range of mounting options such as M/P19938, QM/8160 variants, and UF universal mounts, enabling straightforward retrofits and fast integration with existing automation cells without structural modifications.
Key specs include a 160 mm bore, 125 mm stroke, double-acting operation, operating pressure of 1–16 bar, and a theoretical thrust of 12,064 N. The adjustable cushioning minimizes impact, while a magnetic piston supports reliable end-of-stroke sensing—all of which contribute to stable cycle times and reduced maintenance in demanding lines.
Ideal for automated handling, assembly, clamping, and high-speed indexing on production lines. The 160 mm bore and 125 mm stroke provide strong actuation for demanding tasks, while the broad mounting range and magnetic sensing options simplify system integration and enable precise positioning in packaging, automotive, and general manufacturing environments.
It conforms to ISO 15552 and ISO 6431, along with VDMA 24562 and NFE 49-003-1. These standards ensure interchangeability, consistent performance across OEM fleets, and alignment with European and global automation requirements, supporting quality assurance and regulatory compliance in regulated industries.
The adjustable cushioning reduces shock and wear, while the stainless steel piston rod and anodised aluminium barrel resist corrosion, lowering maintenance needs. Magnetic switching simplifies sensing, reducing wiring complexity and potential faults. These features translate to longer service intervals, less downtime, and a faster return on investment for high-cycle production environments.
