Quick Summary

Norgren RA/8160/M/2100 ISO Cylinder is a heavy-duty double-acting pneumatic cylinder designed for precise linear actuation in automated production lines. Engineers often face cycle-time bottlenecks and misalignment when using long-stroke actuators, and retrofit challenges can inflate downtime. It conforms to ISO 15552, ISO 6431, VDMA 24562 and NFE 49-003-1, ensuring interchangeability, plug-and-play compatibility, and regulatory compliance across markets. With adjustable cushioning and a magnetic piston, it delivers reliable performance across temperatures and pressures while a 160 mm bore and 2100 mm stroke expand design flexibility for complex pick-and-place tasks. This combination supports OEMs and maintenance teams by speeding installations, reducing spare-part inventories, and improving overall equipment effectiveness.

FAQs

This model provides multiple mounting configurations (front/rear studs, eye mounts, swivels, flanges) that align with ISO/VDMA patterns, enabling quick integration into existing frames and tooling. For best results, select a compatible mounting kit from the RA/8000/M family and verify bore/stroke alignment with the application envelope before commissioning.
In practice, ensure your system pressure stays within the 1–16 bar range and account for dynamic loads during acceleration to maintain consistent performance.
If your line requires precise repeatability and durable construction under frequent start/stop cycles, this cylinder offers the reliability needed for continuous operation.
Standardization also facilitates safer, faster equipment upgrades and smoother cross-site deployments.
Availability of service kits and spare parts for RA/8000/M family further supports long-term reliability and cost-effective upkeep.
