Norgren RM/92040/N2/50 Pneumatic Cylinder - Magnetic
Part Number: RM/92040/N2/50
Quick Summary
Norgren RM/92040/N2/50 is a compact double-acting pneumatic cylinder for precise linear actuation. Engineers face space constraints in crowded assemblies, and this model delivers about one-third the length of a comparable ISO/VDMA cylinder. CE compliance considerations, IP-rated ruggedness, and SIL-safety contexts are addressed via standard features; verify the exact ratings on the datasheet. In practice, this cylinder supports compact pneumatic systems with magnetic sensing compatibility and robust seal design. The standard magnetic piston enables full control system versatility and quick integration with sensors. With a 40 mm diameter and 50 mm stroke, it handles typical travel in automation lines while reducing overall footprint.

One of the standout design advantages is the significantly shorter profile, which translates directly into space savings and higher packing density in confined equipment enclosures. This reduces installation time and enables more compact machine layouts, particularly in pick-and-place cells and robotic grippers where footprint matters. The low-friction, long-life seal design minimizes wear, extending service intervals and lowering maintenance costs in high-cycle applications. The result is improved overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and lower total cost of ownership for automation lines. The cylinder is fully non-corrodible and rugged, providing durable performance in demanding environments and washdown-friendly settings, which reduces replacement cycles and downtime. The magnetic piston supports straightforward sensing and integration with existing control systems, enabling faster commissioning and easier diagnostics. Anodised aluminium barrel and Austenitic stainless steel rod strike a balance between strength and weight, improving dynamic response while maintaining corrosion resistance. The combination of 40 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, and 1–10 bar operating pressure makes it a versatile choice for many small-actuator tasks, from clamping to end-effector motion, within the RM/92000/M range. This design also simplifies installation with a G1/8 port and standardised dimensions, improving compatibility with common pneumatic manifolds and air regulators. In practice, engineers gain predictable performance, reduced risk of leaks, and easier spare parts planning, all contributing to faster project realization and dependable production lines.

FAQs
For tight-space installations, prioritize the cylinder's compact 40 mm bore and 50 mm stroke to maximize available envelope in the machine. Ensure a compatible G1/8 porting arrangement and verify mounting options relative to the actuator’s magnetic piston. Use appropriate mounting brackets, keepers, and alignment shims to avoid side loads, and select a regulator with clean, dry compressed air to preserve seal life.
The RM/92040/N2/50 operates between 1 and 10 bar (14–145 psi). Theoretical force is 754 N, which supports moderate end-effector loads and consistent actuation for small to mid-sized automation tasks. Design considerations should account for dynamic loads and friction in the mechanism to maintain performance at peak stroke.
Yes. The cylinder uses a magnetic piston, which supports straightforward sensor integration for position feedback and closed-loop control. This enables reliable sensing without invasive switches and simplifies wiring in compact pick-and-place cells. Confirm sensor compatibility with your controller and ensure proper shielding and grounding to minimize EMI interference in high-speed environments.
Key certifications to verify for pneumatic cylinders in industrial setups typically include CE marking for EU compliance and IP ratings for environmental protection; SIL suitability may apply for safety-related lines. The exact ratings and test reports are specified in the official datasheet linked in the product downloads. Always consult the datasheet before deployment to ensure regulatory compliance for your region.
The RM/92040/N2/50 features low-friction seals and corrosion-resistant materials, which reduce wear, maintenance downtime, and part replacement costs. The magnetic piston enables easy diagnostics and sensor-based monitoring, supporting predictive maintenance programs. Overall, you can expect improved uptime, lower maintenance labor, and a faster return on investment when integrated into high-cycle, space-constrained automation tasks.
