Norgren RM/92012/M/5 Pneumatic Cylinder - Compact Magnetic Piston
Part Number: RM/92012/M/5
Quick Summary
The Norgren RM/92012/M/5 Pneumatic Cylinder provides compact actuation for precise linear motion in tight automation. Engineers often struggle with limited space, balancing stroke with speed, which can slow cycles and increase wear. In this segment, CE compliance, IP ratings for harsh environments, and SIL-ready interfaces are commonly required to ensure safety and performance. This model combines a 12 mm bore with a 5 mm stroke and a one-third length advantage over many ISO/VDMA variants, while maintaining a magnetic piston for versatile control. By delivering corrosion-resistant construction and low-friction seals, RM/92012/M/5 minimizes maintenance downtime and supports repeatable, reliable operation in demanding manufacturing environments. The result is improved uptime, lower total cost of ownership, and smoother integration with compact manifolds and sensing options.

FAQs
Install RM/92012/M/5 using Pneufit C components such as C02250405 straight adapters, C02470405 90° elbows, or C0K510405 flow controls to suit your tubing layout. M5 porting aligns with the cylinder's port size, and the included fittings simplify leak-free assembly. Always verify tubing diameter compatibility (4 mm) and ensure clean, dry compressed air for optimal seal life.
With a 12 mm bore, the RM/92012/M/5 provides aoretical thrust of approximately 68 N at standard operating pressure. The bore size directly influences payload capability and stroke efficiency; in this 12 mm family, you get compact, repeatable motion suitable for small components, while still delivering dependable thrust for simple clamping and positioning tasks.
Yes, its double-acting configuration with a 5 mm stroke and low-friction seals supports rapid cycling in tight spaces. The magnetic piston aids sensing and control, while the compact envelope reduces inertia, enabling higher cycle rates in indexing jobs. For best results, pair with compatible switches and proper drive timing to minimize dwell times.
RM/92012/M/5 supports multiple mounting schemes, including Nut style N2, foot mounting QM/90012/21, and front/rear flange mounting QM/90012/22, plus stud/adaptor options M/P1710/18 for female piston-rod connections. This variety simplifies integration into existing assemblies and enables easy swapping of tooling without extensive rework.
The cylinder operates from -5 to 80 °C and 1 to 10 bar air pressure, making it suitable for many industrial environments. Its anodised barrel and stainless steel piston rod offer corrosion resistance, while the lack of cushioning means you should design your mechanism for direct actuation loads. Ensure clean, dry air and proper filtration to preserve seal life and performance.
