5 inch bore and 7600 N theoretical thrust deliver robust actuation for high-load applications. This tie-rod cylinder is built for repeated cycles in metalworking, packaging, and material handling lines, where every stroke counts toward throughput. Adjustable cushioning provides tailored deceleration, protecting delicate components and reducing system vibration. In practice, this translates to longer tool life, fewer misfeeds, and lower maintenance costs on tight-tolerance assemblies. Double-acting operation with a G1/2 port makes it compatible with standard compressed-air networks and common mounting kits. The wide range of mountings supports easy integration into existing equipment and minimizes retrofits. Barrel made from anodised aluminium and piston rod from martensitic stainless steel deliver corrosion resistance and wear durability in harsh environments. The non-magnetic construction can be important for nearby sensors and EMI-sensitive equipment. The RM/900 range lineage and Martonair series provide a familiar interface for OEMs, simplifying spare parts planning and service routines. Service kits QM/950/00 are available to streamline maintenance and extend lifecycle performance. Customers often appreciate readiness for CE conformity and the option to configure IP-rated housings; combined with a 2–10 bar operating window, this cylinder covers most industrial profiles.

FAQs
The RM/950/45 supports multiple mounting configurations, including end, center, and side mounts, with compatible end fittings and brackets. This flexibility helps you fit the cylinder to existing equipment without extensive rework, reducing downtime and spare parts complexity while ensuring precise alignment for consistent stroke performance.
It operates from -20 to 80 degrees Celsius (-4 to 176 Fahrenheit) and supports an air supply pressure of 2 to 10 bar (29 to 145 psi). To maintain performance, use a clean, dry compressed air supply and regulate pressure to stay within these ranges during all cycles.
The cylinder features an anodised aluminium barrel and a martensitic stainless steel piston rod, delivering corrosion resistance and wear durability. It is non-magnetic, which helps avoid interference with nearby sensors, and the adjustable cushioning reduces impact, extending seal life and service intervals in tough environments.
The RM/950/45 provides a theoretical thrust of about 7600 N, making it suitable for high-load actuation such as clamping, stamping, and heavy object manipulation. The adjustable cushioning lets you tailor deceleration to protect tooling and fixtures, improving cycle life and reducing maintenance frequency on high-cycle lines.
