FAQs
The RM/92040/N4/40 uses a standard 40 mm bore and G1/8 porting, with a compact footprint suitable for common mounting patterns in automation equipment. Its magnetic piston enables straightforward sensing integration, while its anodised aluminium barrel and stainless steel rod provide reliable alignment and durability, reducing the need for custom brackets in small- to mid-sized assemblies.
Operating pressure is specified from 1 to 10 bar (14 to 145 psi), with a theoretical force of 754 N. This range supports consistent actuation in typical shop air systems, enabling reliable motion across multiple cycles. When selecting for a specific application, consider duty cycle, cycle time, and any start-up pressure losses to ensure repeatable performance.
Yes. The model is designed as a compact alternative, featuring a third of the basic length relative to comparable ISO/VDMA models while maintaining a 40 mm bore. The combination of a small footprint, integrated sensing potential via the magnetic piston, and a robust construction makes it well suited for small-scale actuators, robotics integration, and tight automation footprints.
Key maintenance advantages include a low-friction seal design and a corrosion-resistant construction, which reduce wear and extend service intervals. Since the model has no built-in cushioning, you should account for external cushions or dampening strategies in high-speed applications to manage impact and lifecycle, while sensor integration can help monitor piston position for proactive maintenance.
Industries with compact automation needs—such as packaging, small part assembly, and lab/bench-top automation—benefit from the RM/92040/N4/40. Its magnetic piston enables easy sensing, while the 1–10 bar operating window and 40 mm bore suit small linear actuation tasks in light- to medium-duty production lines, contributing to reduced footprint and predictable maintenance.
