160 mm bore and a 320 mm stroke deliver substantial linear travel and high thrust, enabling reliable actuation of heavy loads in packaging, pick-and-place, and inline transfer tasks. Theoretical force rated at 12064 N supports demanding loads without sacrificing speed. The result is increased cycle reliability and reduced risk of stall on startup or at stroke end. Adjustable cushioning dampens end-of-stroke impact and minimizes vibration, protecting guide rails, seals, and sensors from premature wear. The integrated magnetic option supports precise position sensing for control systems, enabling more accurate closed-loop actuation. Barrel is anodised aluminium for lightweight strength and corrosion resistance, while the piston rod uses martensitic stainless steel for enduring surface hardness. This material combination reduces maintenance needs, extends service intervals, and supports operation across the specified temperature range. ISO 15552 standardization guarantees interchangeability with a broad ecosystem of cylinders and mountings, simplifying spare parts stocking and procurement. Port size G3/4 and 160 mm bore align with common fittings, and the RA/8000/M range provides a consistent family for modular automation. An extensive range of mounting options is available, including front/rear studs, swivels, flanges, and clevis configurations, enabling rapid adaptation to spaces with limited clearance. This flexibility reduces on-site installation time and minimizes rework when product lines are reconfigured. With its robust build and precise, repeatable motion, this actuator is well suited to material handling, assembly, and tool-driven processes in demanding environments. Engineers gain confidence from predictable performance, lower downtime, and easier integration with existing sensors and control systems.

FAQs
The RA/8160/M/320 fully adheres to ISO 15552 standards, ensuring interchangeability with other ISO actuators. It uses a 160 mm bore, G3/4 port size, and supports common mounting configurations within the RA/8000/M family, including front/rear stud, universal, and clevis options for flexible installation.
Operating pressure ranges from 1 to 16 bar (15 to 232 psi), and operating temperatures span -10 to 80 °C (14 to 176 °F), enabling use in most standard industrial environments.
A comprehensive set of mountings is supported, including M/P19938 narrow hinge, M/P19679 wide hinge, QM/8160 series front/rear stud mounts, UF universal mounts, rear eyes, clevis configurations, and swivel/foot variants, allowing rapid adaptation to tight spaces and changing line layouts.
Ideal for packaging, material handling, and assembly line tasks requiring robust, repeatable actuation with adjustable cushioning to minimize impact on downstream equipment, sensor readiness via magnetic piston, and reliable performance in challenging environments.
The anodised aluminium barrel and martensitic stainless steel rod reduce wear and corrosion, lowering maintenance frequency. Adjustable cushioning extends service life, and ISO-standardized components simplify spares and integration, delivering lower total cost of ownership and faster changeovers.
