Norgren RM/950/600 Tie Rod Cylinder - Adjustable Cushioning
Part Number: RM/950/600
Quick Summary
Norgren RM/950/600 Tie Rod Cylinder is a rugged double-acting pneumatic actuator designed for heavy-duty automation in manufacturing and packaging lines. Operators often struggle with misaligned cylinders, limited mounting options, and harsh impact loads that shorten service life. This family supports CE conformity and offers configurations with IP-rated protection and robust mechanical design for SIL-ready installations, helping you meet regulatory and safety requirements. As production scales, the combination of a 5 inch bore, 600 mm stroke, and adjustable cushioning delivers predictable cycle times and reduced maintenance, delivering real business value for uptime and throughput in industrial environments.

FAQs
The RM/950/600 uses standard G1/2 porting and a 5 inch bore, with common mounting options in the Martonair RM/900 family. Refer to the datasheet for compatible end caps and sensor sits, and ensure correct alignment to minimize side loads. Adjustable cushioning helps manage fast approach, reducing mounting stress and wear on fixtures.
Operating pressure ranges from 2 to 10 bar (29 to 145 psi), with a theoretical force of up to 7600 N. This makes the cylinder suitable for high-load applications such as material handling, stamping, or transfer operations where strong, repeatable actuation is required.
The design features a non-magnetic piston rod and an anodised aluminium barrel to resist corrosion and EMI-related interference. For restricted environments, verify IP rating options with the supplier and consider additional protective housings or shields as needed to meet specific environmental standards.
Yes, service kits are available for RM/900, including QM/950/00, which supports the RM/950/600 line. This simplifies maintenance and part replacement, helping you minimize downtime during routine servicing or repair without needing to stock multiple, unique parts.
The cylinder delivers high force with dependable, repeatable motion, reducing cycle times and downtime. Combined with adjustable cushioning and long service life from durable materials, customers typically see improved uptime, lower maintenance costs, and greater productivity in automated material handling and assembly processes.
