Norgren RM/960/200 Pneumatic Cylinder - 10887N
Part Number: RM/960/200
Quick Summary
The RM/960/200 Pneumatic Cylinder delivers robust actuation for heavy-duty handling in automated manufacturing lines. When systems demand precise stroke control and reliable cushioning, inconsistent performance and rising maintenance costs can erode uptime. Certification considerations matter: verify CE safety compliance, IP ratings for rugged environments, and SIL compatibility for safety-critical cycles. Built with an anodised aluminium barrel, a martensitic stainless piston rod, adjustable cushioning, and modular mountings, it integrates into standard automation stacks for dependable, cost-efficient operation. This combination supports long service life in demanding environments and reduces total cost of ownership.

Feature: Large 6 inch bore delivers high thrust for demanding loads. This large bore translates to a high theoretical force of 10887 N, enabling reliable actuation of heavy fixtures and clamps. Business impact: reduces the need for parallel cylinders, simplifies tooling, and lowers cycle times in stamping and material handling. Application: stamping presses, clamping stations, and automated assembly lines. Feature: Double-acting configuration provides controlled motion both extend and retract. Business impact: consistent speed and position accuracy across cycling, especially in multi-station lines. Application: pick-and-place, transfer, and assembly tasks requiring bidirectional force. Feature: Adjustable cushioning reduces impact and wear. Business impact: extends service life, minimizes vibration transfer to tooling, and lowers maintenance intervals. Application: high-speed indexing and delicate part handling where impact control matters. Feature: Anodised aluminium barrel and martensitic stainless piston rod deliver corrosion resistance and stiffness. Business impact: suitable for harsh environments and non-magnetic to avoid interference with sensitive equipment. Application: general automation, conveyors, and primary setups near ferrous processes. Feature: Operating pressure 2–10 bar and port size G1/2; temperature range -20 to 80 C. Business impact: compatible with standard plant air systems and variable process temperatures, reducing ingress risk and enabling wide installation viability. Application: factory floors with mixed load profiles and environmental conditions. Feature: Extensive mounting options and service kits QM/960/00; RM/900 range compatibility. Business impact: simplifies installation, accelerates commissioning, and lowers lifecycle maintenance costs through readily available parts. Application: retrofit projects and new-line integrations across multiple stations.

FAQs
RM/960/200 supports extensive mounting options including flange, clevis, and foot mounts, designed to align with the RM/900 family. Quick-change adapters and common locating tabs simplify installation and reduce engineering time on multi-station lines. Always verify compatibility with your existing bracketry and ensure correct orientation to maintain cushioning alignment.
The theoretical force of 10887 N is the maximum thrust the cylinder can develop under nominal conditions based on bore size and supply pressure. In practice, actual force depends on the operating pressure between 2 and 10 bar and friction in the system. Designers should select a pressure within this range and consider mounting losses to confirm real-world performance.
The cylinder uses an anodised aluminium barrel and a martensitic stainless piston rod, providing good corrosion resistance and mechanical stiffness. This makes it broadly suitable for rugged plant environments; however, for dedicated washdown or corrosive exposures, confirm cleaning protocols, seals compatibility, and, if needed, apply protective coatings or enclosure strategies.
Service kits for RM/960/00 are available for RM/900 series assemblies, and you can reference QM/960/00 as the corresponding.service kit. Availability supports proactive maintenance, spares planning, and reduced downtime during major overhauls. Always verify compatibility with your exact cylinder model and stroke length before ordering.
Operate RM/960/200 within 2–10 bar air pressure and -20 to 80 C ambient temperature to maintain reliable performance. Use G1/2 port fittings and ensure clean, dry air to minimize wear. Check that mounting orientation and cushioning settings are tuned to the cycle rate and load profile to maximize life and minimize rework.
