IMI Norgren RM/91040/M/30 Pneumatic Cylinder - Magnetic
Part Number: RM/91040/M/30
Quick Summary
RM/91040/M/30 is a compact single-acting pneumatic cylinder designed for space-constrained automation and packaging lines. Engineers often struggle with installing long-stroke or bulky actuation in tight machine footprints, which leads to design compromise and increased cycle times. This model emphasizes a low-friction, long-life seal design and a fully non-corrodible specification to improve reliability in demanding environments. While explicit certifications like CE or IP ratings aren’t specified in the data provided, the unit’s materials and magnetic piston support robust operation in common industrial applications. For procurement and maintenance teams, the 40 mm bore and 30 mm stroke offer predictable force with easy integration into existing pneumatic systems, boosting uptime and reducing total cost of ownership through resilient performance.

Feature → Business Impact → Application: The compact single-acting design reduces install footprint, enabling tighter automation cell layouts and faster changeovers on high-morse production lines. This translates to lower machine footprint and improved throughput in picking, indexing, and assembly tasks using a 40 mm bore, 30 mm stroke profile. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Low-friction, long-life seals cut maintenance cycles and total operating cost, delivering sustained actuation reliability for daily packaging operations and other repetitive linear motions. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Fully non-corrodible construction and anodised aluminium barrel with a stainless steel piston rod provide durable performance in humid or dusty environments, reducing exposure to corrosion-related downtime in automotive or food processing lines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Magnetic piston enables straightforward position sensing and control integration with standard proximity sensors or automation controllers, simplifying integration in line control and feedback loops. Feature → Business Impact → Application: G1/8 port sizing and compatibility with common fittings accelerate installation and reduce spare parts variety in maintenance kits, supporting rapid changeovers and less downtime. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Theoretical force of 687 N at 40 mm bore supports robust actuation in moderate push/pull tasks, enabling reliable operation across multiple configurations without overdesign. Feature → Business Impact → Application: No cushioning reduces explicit stroke time and footprint, but requires careful mounting and system damping considerations to minimize shock and extending actuator life in high-speed cycles.

FAQs
RM/91040/M/30 uses a standard G1/8 port, making it compatible with common pneumatic fittings and hoses used in automation equipment. When selecting manifolds and manifolds, verify thread compatibility and sealing methods to ensure leak-free operation. For custom manifolds, consult your supplier for possible alternative porting options.
The operating temperature range is -5 to 80 °C, and the operating pressure range is 2 to 10 bar (29 to 145 psi). These ranges suit most general-purpose pneumatic applications, but for extreme environments or high-cycle duty, confirm system margins and verify that the seals and fittings meet your spec sheets.
Yes. The magnetic piston enables straightforward position sensing with standard proximity or magnetic sensors. This simplifies control logic and feedback in automation sequences, allowing precise repeatable positioning without additional actuators. Ensure the chosen sensor is compatible with your control system voltage and switching characteristics.
The cylinder uses an anodised aluminium barrel and a stainless steel piston rod, providing good corrosion resistance for many environments. However, explicit IP-rated protection or washdown suitability isn’t stated; for harsh washdown or chemical exposure, verify enclosure protection levels and consider additional sealing or protective housings as needed.
The design emphasizes a long-life seal system and non-corrodible materials, which can extend service intervals and reduce maintenance costs. In ROI terms, expect lower downtime and fewer parts replacements in standard automation lines, particularly where space constraints and cycle reliability are critical for throughput and overall equipment effectiveness.
