ISO/VDMA compliance and interchangeability (Feature) reduces stocking complexity and speeds spares replacement (Business Impact) enabling rapid line recovery after faults in automated assembly. This is especially valuable in high-mix production environments where quick changeovers are frequent (Application). The robust construction uses an anodised aluminium barrel and martensitic stainless steel piston rod (Feature) delivering corrosion resistance and long service life (Business Impact) suitable for dirty or demanding shop floors (Application). Adjustable cushioning (Feature) provides controlled deceleration, minimizing end-of-stroke shocks (Business Impact) and protecting driven machinery on stamping and pick-and-place tasks (Application). The magnetic piston and reed-switch integration (Feature) facilitates reliable position sensing (Business Impact) with simple switch mounting (Application). Wide mounting versatility (Feature) with M/P19938, M/P19679, QM series options (Business Impact) simplifies installation in constrained spaces and across legacy tooling (Application).

FAQs
RA/8160/M/50 supports multiple mounting configurations including M/P19938 narrow hinge SS (160 mm bore), M/P19679 wide hinge (160 mm bore), and QM series brackets (e.g., QM/8160/32 UF universal piston rod mount). Switch mounting brackets M/50 LSU facilitate quick integration of reed switches. These options enable flexible installation in confined spaces and across legacy tooling without custom fabrication.
Key specs include 160 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, port size G3/4, and operating pressure 1–16 bar. It operates from -10 to 80 °C and provides a theoretical force of 12064 N. The cylinder features adjustable cushioning, a magnetic piston, and is built to ISO 15552 and VDMA 24562 standards, ensuring predictable performance and interchangeability.
Yes. The RA/8160/M/50 is designed to be ISO 15552 compliant and VDMA‑oriented, ensuring easy cross‑reference with other ISO/VDMA actuators. Its 160 mm bore and 50 mm stroke fit common ISO 15552 frames, while interchangeable mountings simplify integration with existing tooling and automation cells, reducing rework and downtime.
This cylinder conforms to ISO 15552, ISO 6431, VDMA 24562, and NFE 49-003-1, which guarantees compatibility, quality, and safety across international industrial systems. Magnetic sensing options (M/50) enable reliable feedback for control loops, and the standardization supports easier audits and supplier consolidation for regulated manufacturing environments.
The design uses an anodised aluminium barrel and martensitic stainless steel piston rod for durability, with adjustable cushioning to reduce shock and wear. Service kits are available within the Norgren ecosystem, and the wide mounting range lowers spare-part variety. Overall, expect reduced downtime, longer service life in harsh environments, and a favorable total cost of ownership for automated lines.
