Norgren RM/960/1500 Tie Rod Cylinder - 6\" Bore
Part Number: RM/960/1500
Quick Summary
Norgren RM/960/1500 Tie Rod Cylinder is a rugged pneumatic actuator delivering precise linear motion for industrial automation. Operators often face cycle delays when cylinders fail to meet long-stroke or high-load demands, leading to lost throughput. Certification expectations vary by region, so consult the datasheet for CE conformity, IP ratings, and SIL considerations tied to your system. With a 6-inch bore, 1500 mm stroke, adjustable cushioning, and a non-magnetic construction, this actuator supports high-cycle production while reducing maintenance. Coupled with broad mounting options and seamless compatibility with RM/900 components, it helps you optimize uptime, safety, and overall equipment effectiveness.

Feature: Large 6 inch bore combined with a 1500 mm stroke delivers high load capacity and extended travel per cycle. Business impact: reduces cycle interruptions and minimizes the need for additional actuation devices in heavy material handling and stacking workflows. Application: automation cells, stamping, and packaging lines where long travel and high force are required. Feature: Double-acting operation with adjustable cushioning provides controlled deceleration and impact protection. Business impact: extends seal and rod life, lowers maintenance costs, and reduces unexpected downtime. Application: tool changeovers, clamping sequences, and automated assembly where precise end-of-stroke control matters. Feature: Anodised aluminium barrel and martensitic stainless steel piston rod offer corrosion resistance and structural rigidity; non-magnetic construction minimizes interference with sensors. Business impact: improves sensor accuracy and reliability in proximity-guided lines. Application: automated lines with magnetic sensors or high-speed indexing. Feature: Operating pressure range from 2 to 10 bar, temperature range -20 to 80 °C, and G1/2 port size simplify installation and compatibility with standard plant air systems. Business impact: reduces installation time and fittings cost, ensures stable actuation across varying environmental conditions. Application: multi-zone manufacturing environments and process automation. Feature: Compatibility with RM/900 family and availability of service kits QM/960/00 streamline maintenance and spare-part management. Business impact: lowers downtime, simplifies stocking, and supports rapid field service. Application: OEM lines with modular components and frequent configuration changes.

FAQs
Yes. RM/960/1500 is designed to align with common RM/900 mounting patterns and uses a standard G1/2 port. For exact fit and any regional considerations, consult the datasheet and the QM/960/00 service kit documentation to ensure a seamless retrofit or upgrade.
Key specs include a 6 inch bore, 1500 mm stroke, double-acting operation, 10887 N theoretical force, operating pressure 2–10 bar, temperature range -20 to 80 °C, and a G1/2 port. The barrel is anodised aluminium with a martensitic stainless steel piston rod, and the unit is non-magnetic.
The long stroke and adjustable cushioning support controlled motion and reduced impact, which benefits high-cycle packaging lines. While speed depends on system pressure and valve sequencing, the cylinder’s robust construction and cushioning help maintain throughput without compromising part quality or equipment life.
Certification details are not provided in the base data. Verify CE conformity, IP ratings, and SIL considerations in the datasheet and with your regional compliance requirements when integrating into a larger control system.
Maintenance can be supported by the QM/960/00 service kits for RM/900 series components. Regular inspection, lubrication per the datasheet, and keeping a starter spare set on hand typically reduce downtime and extend service life on mixed RM/900/RM/960 installations.
