FAQs
The RM/960/1400 uses a G1/2 port and offers an extensive range of mountings typical for Norgren tie rod cylinders, enabling straightforward retrofits and new installations. Its 6 inch bore and 1400 mm stroke are compatible with standard pneumatic fittings and common mounting accessories, reducing integration time and inventory requirements.
This cylinder operates from 2 to 10 bar and tolerates temperatures from -20 to 80 °C (-4 to 176 °F). These ranges support a wide array of industrial environments, ensuring reliable performance in typical plant conditions and cold-start scenarios.
Yes. With a 1400 mm stroke, the cylinder is well-suited for long-stroke requirements in material handling, lifting, and positioning tasks. The adjustable cushioning helps tailor deceleration profiles to minimize impact, protecting load and equipment while maintaining throughput.
Maintenance is supported by service kits for RM/900 family, including QM/960/00, designed for the RM/900 range with 6 inch cylinders. Regular replacement parts, along with the Martonair lineage and modular mountings, reduce downtime and extend service intervals in production environments.
The barrel is made from anodised aluminium, and the piston rod is stainless steel (martensitic) with non-magnetic properties. This combination offers corrosion resistance and magnetic compatibility where sensitive inspection equipment or magnetic fields are present, enhancing reliability in challenging environments.
