Norgren RM/960/1700 Tie Rod Cylinder - Adjustable Cushioning
Part Number: RM/960/1700
Quick Summary
Norgren RM/960/1700 tie rod cylinder provides linear motion for heavy-duty automation in manufacturing and packaging. Long stroke and adjustable cushioning address the challenge of impact and wear in high-cycle applications. For safety and compliance, verify datasheets and standards such as CE, IP ratings, and SIL where applicable. This design uses a non-magnetic stainless steel piston rod and anodised aluminium barrel, and it integrates RM/900 compatibility for streamlined spares and service. With a 6 inch bore, 1700 mm stroke and G1/2 port, it supports high-force moves while fitting standard pneumatic systems. Users benefit from reduced downtime, predictable actuation, and easier maintenance through modular service kits and clear installation data.

FAQs
When installing RM/960/1700, plan for a G1/2 port connection and compatible mounting options to ensure adequate alignment with existing actuation fixtures. Verify stroke clearance for the 1700 mm travel and use adjustable cushioning to tailor deceleration. Ensure RM/900 range compatibility to simplify spare parts and maintenance across multi-line packaging cells.
The cylinder operates between 2 and 10 bar (29 to 145 psi). Operating within this range provides robust thrust up to 10887 N while maintaining smooth acceleration and controlled deceleration via adjustable cushioning. Exceeding the recommended range can shorten service intervals or impact seal life; stay within the defined limits for reliable long-term performance.
Yes. The RM/960/1700 is part of the RM/900 range and is designed for compatibility with RM/900 accessories and service kits, including QM/960/00. This alignment simplifies spares management, reduces downtime during servicing, and supports consistent performance across a family of Norgren cylinders in a common automation ecosystem.
Regulated environments typically require verification of safety and quality certifications such as CE, appropriate IP ratings, and SIL as specified by your system requirements. While the provided data does not list specific certifications for this model, consult the datasheet and supplier documentation to confirm applicable approvals before deployment in your plant.
The adjustable cushioning reduces impact, lowering wear and downtime, while non-magnetic components and defensive materials improve longevity in dirty environments. Service musts align with QM/960/00 kits and RM/900 compatibility. The result is lower total cost of ownership through reduced maintenance frequency, predictable lifecycle servicing, and steadier production throughput in high-cycle operations.
