Norgren RM/93040/M/15 Pneumatic Cylinder - Magnetic
Part Number: RM/93040/M/15
Quick Summary
RM/93040/M/15 is a compact single-acting pneumatic cylinder designed for precise linear actuation in automation and packaging lines. In tight spaces or high-cycle environments, engineers battle limited stroke options, frequent sensor integration challenges, and maintenance overhead. Industry expectations often emphasize CE marking, IP protection, and safe, easy sensing; this model's standard magnetic piston and corrosion-resistant barrel support those criteria. With a 40 mm bore, 15 mm stroke, and a 2–10 bar operating range, it delivers dependable actuation while minimizing footprint. The combination of low-friction seals and a fully non-corrodible construction reduces wear and downtime, delivering lower total cost of ownership for OEMs and maintenance teams seeking reliable pneumatic cylinder solutions.

One of the standout features of RM/93040/M/15 is its compact length—approximately one third the size of a typical ISO/VDMA cylinder. This space-saving design frees panel real estate and simplifies mounting in tight automation cells, enabling quicker line integration and faster start-ups. The second key benefit is the low-friction, long-life seal design, which translates into reduced wear, lower maintenance costs, and higher uptime even under high-speed cycling. A fully non-corrodible construction enhances durability in humid or contaminated environments, reducing replacement cycles and extending service life in packaging and food-processing lines. The standard magnetic piston supports straightforward sensing and feedback integration with PLCs and sensors, improving control accuracy and repeatability without added components. Finally, the anodised aluminium barrel and stainless steel piston rod deliver robust strength and corrosion resistance, ensuring reliable performance across the RM/93000/M family with easy installation and compatibility for retrofit projects.

FAQs
To install RM/93040/M/15, prepare a clean, dry compressed air supply within 2–10 bar and verify the G1/8 port threading matches your fittings. Mount the cylinder using the appropriate flange or clevis options, ensuring alignment with the load to be moved. Connect the input line to the G1/8 port and install any required mounting sensors for position feedback. Check for leaks, then perform a light functional test to confirm full extension and retraction without binding. Ensure the operating temperature remains within -5 to 80 °C and that cushioning requirements are considered since this model has no internal cushioning.
The RM/93040/M/15 lists a theoretical force of 566 N. This value reflects baseline actuation potential under specified conditions. In practice, thrust scales with supply pressure and bore area; increasing pressure from 2 to 10 bar will raise force output accordingly within the device’s mechanical limits. Factors such as mounting friction, load inertia, and system backpressure can affect actual thrust, so use the 566 N figure as a reference and validate performance in your specific application during commissioning.
RM/93040/M/15 is well suited for compact, short-stroke actuation in high-cycle environments, including packaging and light pick-and-place tasks. Its single-acting design provides rapid return via the supply pressure, and the magnetic piston supports straightforward sensing for precise positioning. However, note that there is no internal cushioning, which can result in higher impact at the end of travel. For very high-speed lines or delicate parts, consider external cushioning or alternate models with built-in damping.
The provided data does not specify exact certifications for RM/93040/M/15. When sourcing, verify required compliance such as CE marking, IP protection, or SIL safety integration with your procurement team or Norgren representative. The product’s magnetic piston and corrosion-resistant construction support reliable sensing and durability, but confirm certifications with the supplier to ensure regulatory alignment with your application environment.
Maximize life and minimize TCO by using clean, dry compressed air and keeping lines moisture-free to protect seals and moving parts. Regularly inspect the magnetic piston and seals for wear, especially in high-cycle applications, and replace as needed. The design’s low-friction seals and non-corrodible materials reduce maintenance frequency, but periodic verification of alignment, port connections, and mounting hardware will prevent leaks and ensure consistent actuation over time.
