The 12 mm bore and 10 mm stroke create a compact footprint that fits tight automation cells while delivering predictable, repeatable actuation for small grippers and pick-and-place tasks. This translates to easier machine layouts, faster cycle times, and reduced overall equipment costs. The single-acting design with an M5 port simplifies pneu matic plumbing and installation, minimizing leak points and accelerating commissioning in line-side applications. A magnetic piston enables straightforward position sensing, enabling simple sensor integration and closed-loop control without adding extra hardware or wiring complexity. Construction using an anodised aluminium barrel and austenitic stainless steel piston rod provides robust corrosion resistance and durable wear performance in challenging environments, extending service life and reducing maintenance cycles. The low-friction seal design supports longer seal life and smoother motion, while the absence of cushioning enables rapid actuation; for applications requiring soft landings, consider external damping or travel-stop options. With a theoretical force of 57 N and a 2–10 bar operating range, it delivers reliable actuation for light-duty tasks, and its compatibility with the RM/91000/M family supports scalable, cost-effective upgrades in existing systems.

FAQs
RM/91012/M/10 uses a port size of M5 and a compact 12 mm bore, making it compatible with common pneumatic fittings and small manifolds. Ensure proper alignment to avoid binding and verify supply pressure remains within 2–10 bar. Use appropriate mounting brackets to maintain straight travel and minimize side loads that could shorten life.
In high-speed applications, the single-acting design delivers quick actuation with a theoretical force of 57 N at 12 mm bore. Operating at 2–10 bar, it achieves fast response with low friction seals, reducing dwell time and enabling reliable repeat cycles in packaging lines. Note that no cushioning is built-in, so plan for any impact energy with external damping if needed.
Yes. The piston is magnetic, enabling straightforward integration with magnetic sensors or Hall-effect switches for position feedback. This supports simple open- or closed-loop control without extra actuators. Plan for sensor placement to avoid magnetic interference and ensure clean cabling in confined spaces.
The cylinder accepts compressed air at 2–10 bar and operates from -5 to 80 °C (23 to 176 °F). Its anodised aluminium barrel and stainless steel piston rod provide robust corrosion resistance, making it suitable for general industrial environments. Always verify ambient conditions and avoid corrosive or reactive atmospheres that could affect seals and movement.
The design emphasizes longevity with low-friction seals and a non-corrodible build, reducing replacement frequency and maintenance downtime. Its compact footprint lowers installation costs and saves space, while magnetic sensing simplifies integration with existing control architectures. These factors combine to lower lifecycle costs and improve line uptime in light-duty actuation tasks.
