Norgren RM/950/M/500 Tie Rod Cylinder - Magnetic
Part Number: RM/950/M/500
Quick Summary
RM/950/M/500 Tie Rod Cylinder delivers durable pneumatic actuation for precision linear motion in automation equipment. In many manufacturing environments, inconsistent cushioning, mounting options, and sensor integration can cause misalignment and downtime. Buyers often require CE compliance, IP protection, and SIL-ready control interfaces to meet safety and reliability standards. This model combines rugged durability with thoughtful design: anodised aluminium barrel, martensitic stainless rod, and adjustable cushioning to extend service life under demanding cycles. Its magnetic piston rod enables sensor feedback and straightforward PLC integration, while extensive mounting options simplify installation. Together, these features reduce maintenance, boost uptime, and improve total cost of ownership in high-volume production lines.

With a 5-inch bore and a theoretical 7,600 N thrust, this cylinder delivers reliable high-load actuation for heavy-duty clamping and forming tasks. The rugged design reduces the need for multiple smaller actuators and supports consistent movement across demanding cycles. Applications include material handling, stamping, and machine tending where speed and force must be controlled. Adjustable cushioning provides controlled deceleration at end-of-stroke, reducing shock to tooling and adjacent equipment. The result is longer seal life and quieter operation in high-cycle lines, especially valuable in press-to-position sequences and assembly setups. Magnetic piston rod enables position sensing and PLC feedback with minimal wiring, easing integration with existing controls. Sensor-ready feedback improves accuracy for closed-loop positioning, lowering commissioning time and engineering risk. Durability comes from anodised aluminium barrel and martensitic stainless steel rod, delivering corrosion resistance and longevity in washdown or harsh environments. The tie-rod construction supports a broad range of mounting options, simplifying retrofit projects and spacing constraints, while standard porting and pressure ranges ease installation. Operating at 2 to 10 bar with a G1/2 port, the RM/950/M/500 aligns with common industrial pneumatics, enabling straightforward maintenance and spare-part planning. Service kits (QM/950/00) for RM/900, 5" cylinders help sustain performance between overhauls, reducing downtime and total cost of ownership.

FAQs
The RM/950/M/500 uses a tie-rod cylinder design with standard 5 inch bore and mounting provisions that align with typical factory frames. It supports a wide range of mountings and options common to the RM/900 family, making retrofits straightforward and minimizing rework. This compatibility reduces installation time and inventory complexity while preserving alignment accuracy across cycles.
This cylinder delivers a theoretical thrust of 7,600 N at its 5 inch bore. It operates over a compressed air range of 2 to 10 bar (29 to 145 psi) and uses a G1/2 port, which matches standard pneumatic system components and simplifies integration into existing equipment without specialized fittings.
Yes. The cylinder features a magnetic piston rod, which enables non-contact position sensing and straightforward PLC integration. This sensor-ready capability reduces wiring, simplifies control logic, and improves repeatability in closed-loop positioning applications, supporting higher quality and reduced cycle time in automation lines.
Maintenance is supported by service kits for RM/900 series, such as QM/950/00 for RM/900, 5" cylinders, which help streamline rebuilds and minimize downtime. Regular cushioning adjustments, inspection of the anodised barrel and stainless steel rod, and using approved fittings will help extend life in demanding environments.
Yes, thanks to its rugged construction—anodised aluminium barrel and martensitic stainless rod—and adjustable cushioning that mitigates impact. The magnetic rod supports sensor feedback for reliable automation, while the IP-related protection and safety-conscious design align with industry expectations for high-cycle, potentially washdown environments. This combination lowers maintenance costs and improves uptime.
