Norgren RM/92040/MU/20/160 Pneumatic Cylinder - Magnetic
Part Number: RM/92040/MU/20/160
Quick Summary
Norgren RM/92040/MU/20/160 is a compact double-acting pneumatic cylinder designed for space‑constrained automation tasks. In many projects, engineers struggle with long installation times and limited sensing options that slow downstream testing. While the spec sheet doesn't enumerate certifications, the unit uses a magnetic piston and non-corrodible materials that align with common industry standards, and is suitable for sensor integration in CE‑capable systems. Together, these features support reliable operation in packaging, pick-and-place, and general automation, delivering a compact footprint, easy mounting, and predictable performance.

FAQs
This cylinder uses a standard G1/8 port size and is compatible with common 1 to 10 bar compressed air systems. For straightforward integration, select matching NF or ISO valve interfaces, ensure proper mounting orientation to avoid side loads, and use compatible fittings and tubing. The magnetic piston supports sensor-friendly control, reducing extra components during retrofit projects.
Operating pressure is specified from 1 to 10 bar, with an operating temperature range of -5 to 80 °C (23 to 176 °F). This makes the RM/92040/MU/20/160 suitable for typical plant environments and many automated processes, but for extreme or wash-down conditions additional protective measures or alternative models may be required.
Yes. The cylinder features a magnetic piston that enables easy sensor integration for position feedback without additional magnetic sensors. This supports reliable control in PLC or servo-driven systems and reduces wiring complexity. The compact form factor also helps maintain sensor proximity in tight automation layouts.
Best-fit applications include small part handling, pick-and-place tasks, and compact linear actuation in packaging and assembly lines. The 40 mm bore delivers robust pushing/pulling force (approximately 754 N theoretical) at typical pressures, while the 20 mm stroke provides sufficient travel for short, high-repeat-cycle motions in space-constrained cells.
The design emphasizes low-friction seals and a non-corrodible construction, reducing wear and extending service intervals. Magnetic sensing reduces maintenance of position feedback components. Overall, you can expect lower downtime, easier troubleshooting, and predictable performance in continuous production, contributing to a favorable total cost of ownership over the cylinder’s lifecycle.
