Norgren RM/92050/MU/160/100 Pneumatic Cylinder - 50 mm Ø
Part Number: RM/92050/MU/160/100
Quick Summary
The RM/92050/MU/160/100 is a compact pneumatic cylinder delivering precise double-acting actuation for automation lines. Engineers often struggle with crowded installations and restricted maintenance access, and this model reduces footprint to about one-third of a typical ISO/VDMA unit, enabling denser layouts without sacrificing stroke. The extended description highlights a magnetic piston for sensing versatility, a fully non-corrodible specification, and an anodised aluminium barrel paired with a martensitic stainless steel rod for longevity in demanding environments. For teams navigating compliance, verify CE, SIL, and IP ratings as required for your region and application. In practice, the RM/92050/MU/160/100 supports straightforward integration with standard control systems, helping improve uptime, reduce maintenance cycles, and lower total cost of ownership.

Compact form factor with 50 mm bore and 160 mm stroke reduces overall footprint, enabling denser machine layouts and simpler installation. This space efficiency translates to lower capital costs and easier integration within tight automation cells, such as packaging lines or small robotic pick-and-place stations. The business impact is clearer cabling, easier access for service, and improved line density without compromising stroke or force. The double-acting operation, combined with low-friction sealing and a long-life design, delivers reliable performance under repetitive cycling, reducing downtime and extending service intervals. In real-world applications, users gain predictable actuation force and faster cycle times, which improves throughput on high-volume assembly lines and inline quality checks. A magnetic piston supports seamless sensing and control-system compatibility, enabling straightforward integration with common PLCs and encoder-based feedback. This simplifies automation architectures and accelerates commissioning. The anodised aluminium barrel and martensitic stainless steel rod provide corrosion resistance and durability in dirty or humid environments, lowering maintenance costs and enhancing product life in outdoor or factory-floor conditions. With no internal cushioning, the cylinder relies on external stops or system damping, giving engineers a clean mechanical profile and easier control of deceleration in high-speed operations. Operating temperature from -5 to 80 °C and pressure range of 1 to 10 bar ensure robust performance across a wide range of industrial environments, while the standard G1/8 port enables compatibility with common pneumatic manifolds and fittings. Overall, the RM/92050/MU/160/100 combines space efficiency, reliability, and straightforward integration to reduce installation risk and total cost of ownership in demanding automation scenarios.

FAQs
Plan mounting orientation to minimize bending loads on the piston rod, use aligned clevis or tie-rod configurations, and ensure a clean, debris-free air supply. The G1/8 port size is compatible with standard manifolds; verify air quality and filtration to protect seals. Allow adequate space for end-of-stroke stops and sensor wiring for reliable sensing with a magnetic piston.
The RM/92050/MU/160/100 delivers a theoretical 1178 N at rated pressure, providing predictable push/pull force for medium-duty tasks. Force varies with supply pressure; at 1 bar you’ll see proportionally less force, while at 10 bar you approach the rated value. This knowledge helps dimension cylinders for consistent acceleration, deceleration, and load handling across your automation cycle.
Yes, its compact 50 mm bore and 160 mm stroke support dense layouts and fast cycling. The low-friction seal design reduces wear, and the magnetic piston simplifies sensor feedback for precise positioning. For high-speed tasks, ensure proper mounting alignment, adjust dwell times with the control system, and consider external cushioning or stops to manage deceleration without compromising cycle times.
Certification specifics can vary by region and application. While the datasheet emphasizes mechanical performance, verify CE compliance, SIL safety integration, and IP ratings relevant to your environment with the supplier and through the official datasheet. Always cross-check with your internal compliance requirements and perform field tests to confirm suitability in your system.
Expect lower maintenance cadence due to the long-life seals and corrosion-resistant components (anodised barrel, martensitic rod). Routine checks should cover seal wear, sensor wiring integrity, and air quality. ROI benefits come from reduced downtime, higher line density, and longer service intervals, which translate to improved uptime and lower total cost of ownership over the cylinder’s life cycle.
