FAQs
RA/8160/M/200 is designed around ISO 15552 compatibility, with a 160 mm bore and 200 mm stroke that align with standard mounting patterns. It supports multiple mountings (including M/P19938 narrow hinge and other RA/8000 series options) and a G3/4 port size, enabling straightforward integration into existing pneumatic rails and frames without custom adapters.
The cylinder delivers a theoretical force of 12064 N and operates from 1 to 16 bar. Adjustable cushioning helps tailor deceleration to load and cycle speed, reducing impact wear and improving repeatability across high-cycle applications such as transfer systems and automated grippers.
Yes. With a 160 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, magnetic piston for reliable position sensing, and rugged aluminium barrel plus stainless rod, it suits pick-and-place, clamp and feed applications. The 532 mm length and 183.5 mm width fit many standard machine envelopes, while 19.3 kg weight signals a robust, vibration-tolerant actuation option.
This cylinder conforms to ISO 15552, ISO 6431, VDMA 24562 and NFE 49-003-1, ensuring compatibility with common pneumatic components and supplier ecosystems. For procurement, these certifications simplify design alignment, spare-parts compatibility, and cross-vendor maintenance plans, reducing risk and enabling streamlined compliance documentation for audits.
Maintenance can leverage service kits such as QA/8160D/00 for PRA/802, RA/802, PRA/182, RA/182, and RA/8000 variants. With adjustable cushioning, a durable anodised barrel, and a martensitic stainless rod, expected service intervals lengthen. Combined with widespread mounting flexibility and supply of compatible fittings, this lowers downtime and total cost of ownership over the cylinder’s life.
