FAQs
The RM/960/150 supports an extensive range of mounting patterns designed for ease of integration into existing frames and OEM assemblies. It accommodates common tie-rod configurations and compatible brackets, enabling quick retrofit and minimal downtime. When selecting hardware, verify hole patterns, stud spacing, and available mounting kits to ensure precise alignment and repeatable positioning in robotics, packaging, and material handling lines.
This cylinder operates from 2 to 10 bar (29 to 145 psi) and uses a G1/2 port size, providing flexible integration with standard pneumatic circuits. The pressure range supports high-load actuation while allowing compatibility with a wide array of valves and regulators. For best performance, match supply pressure with the required thrust and stroke speed in your application.
Yes, the RM/960/150 features adjustable cushioning to control end-of-stroke deceleration. Properly tuned cushioning reduces impact, vibration, and shock on end caps and rods, which translates to lower wear, fewer component failures, and longer service intervals. This is especially valuable in high-cycle or high-speed applications where precision and component life are critical.
With its 6 in bore and 150 mm stroke, high theoretical thrust, and robust build, the RM/960/150 excels in heavy-load material handling, presses, clamping, and forming operations. Its non-magnetic option and wide temperature and pressure range also make it suitable for robotics integration, packaging lines, and automation cells where reliable linear actuation is essential.
Maintenance is streamlined by compatibility with the QM/960/00 service kits for RM/900-series cylinders, enabling standardized spares and replacement components. Regular checks on cushioning settings, seal integrity, and mounting tension help sustain performance. Refer to the datasheet for recommended service intervals and compatible accessories to minimize downtime and extend life.
