IMI Norgren RM/92020/JM/10 Compact Cylinder - One-third Length
Part Number: RM/92020/JM/10
Quick Summary
The RM/92020/JM/10 compact double-acting cylinder delivers precise linear actuation for compact automation. Engineers struggle with space constraints and corrosion risk in small modules; this unit reduces footprint while maintaining reliability. Key design features include a low-friction, long-life seal design, a fully non-corrodible specification, and a magnetic piston for versatile control. When choosing a compact actuator, consider operating temp -5 to 80 °C and 1–10 bar performance to ensure reliability across cycles. Its standout spec is one-third the length of comparable ISO/VDMA models, with a 20 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, M5 port, and a standard magnetic piston.

One of the RM/92020/JM/10's defining features is its compact length—one third of the basic ISO/VDMA model. This provides a tangible business impact: tighter machine footprints, easier integration into compact enclosures, and the ability to reconfigure layouts without sacrificing stroke. In practice, engineers deploy it in tight robotics cells, inline pick-and-place modules, and compact automation lines where space is at a premium. Low friction, long-life seal design reduces wear and maintenance, delivering lower total cost of ownership. Fewer seal replacements translate into longer maintenance intervals, less downtime, and more consistent actuation across extended production runs. This is especially valuable in high-cycle packaging and assembly environments where consistency and uptime drive throughput. Fully non-corrodible construction protects core components in challenging manufacturing environments. The anodised aluminium barrel and non-magnetic housing resist moisture, while the stainless steel piston rod adds durability under load. Together, these materials support longer service intervals, better corrosion resistance, and lower lifecycle costs in humid, wash-down, or coolant-exposed applications. Standard magnetic piston enables straightforward sensing and control-system integration. Magnetic feedback supports reliable position detection with standard sensors, reduces wiring complexity, and simplifies safety interlocks and automated sequencing. This makes the RM/92020/JM/10 easy to retrofit alongside existing automation platforms. Stainless steel (austenitic) piston rod enhances strength and corrosion resistance, maintaining precise stroke and force delivery across temperature variations. The combination with a robust seal system minimizes stick-slip and hysteresis, improving repeatability in precise positioning tasks. Port size M5, 20 mm bore, and 10 mm stroke define the actuator geometry and force envelope for tight assemblies. Operating pressure range from 1 to 10 bar and temperature range from -5 to 80 °C make this cylinder compatible with most standard pneumatic networks and industrial environments. Compatibility with RM/92000/M family and standard mounting patterns supports quick retrofits and scalable automation layouts.
