FAQs
To install, ensure correct orientation of the double-acting cylinder, connect G1/2 ports to a clean, dry air supply, and secure mounting with compatible brackets. Verify port threads and gasket integrity, then snug fittings to avoid leaks. Use the adjustable cushioning feature to dial in impact damping for your specific load and cycle rate, and test at nominal pressure before full production.
The RM/950/M/1800 provides a theoretical force of up to 7600 N with an 1800 mm stroke. Longer stroke improves reach and stroke-limited cycle options, while higher force supports faster acceleration of heavy payloads. In practice, optimize air supply pressure within 2–10 bar to balance speed and control for the fastest sustainable cycle time.
Yes. Its 5" bore, 1800 mm stroke, and adjustable cushioning support high-force actuations with controlled deceleration, ideal for clamping and positioning in packaging and material-handling scenarios. The magnetic piston enables straightforward sensing, aiding pick-and-place and transfer operations within automated lines.
Industrial pneumatics commonly align with CE conformity and appropriate IP protection depending on the installation. While the data set highlights standard rugged operation (-20 to 80 °C; 2–10 bar) and magnetic hardware, verify exact certifications for your region and application on the official datasheet or with the supplier prior to deployment.
Service kits QM/950/00 are specified for RM/900-series cylinders, enabling proactive maintenance without significant downtime. Regular lubrication of seals, inspection of mounting hardware, and periodic cushioning adjustments help sustain performance. Leveraging common RM/900 parts simplifies inventory and reduces total cost of ownership across multiple machines.
