The RM/960/120 delivers a high-force 6 inch bore with a 120 mm stroke, enabling consistent, high-load linear movement in demanding applications such as material handling and presses. Theoretical force of 10887 N translates to improved cycle times and reduced risk of part jams, while the anodised aluminium barrel and martensitic stainless piston rod offer corrosion resistance and long service life in harsh environments. Adjustable cushioning minimizes impact, protecting downstream equipment and extending cylinder life; this translates to lower maintenance costs and fewer unplanned downtime events on packaging lines and automated assembly cells. The double-acting design ensures reliable actuation in both extend and retract directions, reducing slip and improving positioning accuracy in continuously cycling applications. A broad range of compatible mountings and a standard G1/2 port support quick installation and seamless integration with existing air supplies. RM/900 series compatibility and the Martonair lineage ensure proven performance, while the non-magnetic construction is advantageous for sensitive robotics and high-precision tasks in clean rooms or near magnetic interference. Serviceability is reinforced by dedicated kits like QM/960/00, enabling quick field maintenance and reduced downtime when replacements are needed.

FAQs
RM/960/120 offers an extensive range of mountings designed to suit different installation geometries and stroke alignment requirements. When selecting a mounting, consider the direction of actuation, the space available, and the desired end-of-stroke cushioning. For retrofit projects, verify compatibility with the RM/900 mounting family and ensure port alignment with your existing air lines.
The cylinder operates from 2 to 10 bar (29 to 145 psi) and tolerates temperatures from -20 to 80 °C (-4 to 176 °F). This broad envelope supports heavy-duty applications while maintaining performance across typical factory environments, reducing the need for multiple SKUs for different processes.
Yes. The unit uses standard G1/2 porting and features adjustable cushioning to tailor deceleration and impact to your machinery. This compatibility simplifies installation, minimizes retrofit work, and helps protect downstream components from shock loads during end-of-stroke events.
Certification details are not listed in the provided data. To verify CE marking, IP ratings, or SIL-related approvals for your region and application, consult the product datasheet linked in the downloads or contact Norgren support to obtain the official certificates and any device-specific approvals.
The combination of a durable anodised aluminium barrel, martensitic stainless piston rod, non-magnetic construction, and adjustable cushioning reduces wear, shock, and downtime. Availability of service kits such as QM/960/00 streamlines maintenance, enabling quicker field servicing and extending intervals between replacements, which lowers overall maintenance costs and improves uptime.
