IMI Norgren RM/950/2800 Tie Rod Cylinder - 2800mm Stroke
Part Number: RM/950/2800
Quick Summary
IMI Norgren RM/950/2800 tie rod cylinder provides reliable linear actuation for heavy‑duty automation and material handling. Engineers often grapple with long-stroke misalignment and braking shocks; adjustable cushioning mitigates end-of-stroke impact while fitting tight installation envelopes. Certifications such as CE readiness and IP protection are commonly required in regulated environments, and should be verified in the latest datasheet. Coupled with a non‑magnetic construction and corrosion‑resistant aluminium barrel, this cylinder delivers lifecycle cost savings and straightforward integration with standard mountings and plant air systems.

FAQs
RM/950/2800 supports standard Norgren tie-rod mounting configurations, including clevis, flange, and trunnion bases. Ensure correct end fittings and precise travel alignment during installation to avoid side loading. Use compatible brackets and gaskets to guarantee leak‑free operation and reliable cycle performance across duty cycles.
Key specs include a 5 inch bore and 2800 mm stroke, double acting operation, and a theoretical force of 7600 N. The cylinder operates from 2 to 10 bar and uses a G1/2 port. These parameters enable high-load, long-travel actuation in demanding automation tasks while maintaining controllable speed and cushioning.
Yes, RM/950/2800 supports operating temperatures from -20 to 80 °C and is designed for a 2 to 10 bar compressed air supply. To maintain performance, use clean, dry air with appropriate filtration and regulators, and ensure that the installation complies with plant safety standards and routine maintenance schedules.
Service kits QM/950/00 are designed for RM/900 family cylinders, including RM/950/2800. Replacement parts cover seals, cushions, and related wear items. Plan preventive maintenance based on cycle rate and duty cycle; use original QM/950/00 kits to preserve cushioning accuracy and sealing integrity, minimizing leakage and downtime.
RM/950/2800 excels in long‑stroke actuation for stamping, clamping, and material handling where high force and extended travel are required. The adjustable cushioning protects delicate parts at stroke end, while the non‑magnetic design suits EMI-sensitive environments; compatible mountings and standard air interfaces simplify system integration.
