Service kits for RM/900, 6"
6" bore and 220 mm stroke deliver high thrust and a long stroke, enabling reliable actuation in heavy-duty lines. This combination reduces the number of cycles required for packaging, automated assembly, and material handling, improving overall line efficiency. Adjustable cushioning provides tailored deceleration at end-of-stroke, minimizing impact forces, protecting machinery, and extending seal life in high-cycle conditions. Double-acting operation enables bidirectional motion with a single cylinder, simplifying control logic and plumbing while delivering consistent force in both directions for push-pull indexing and clamping tasks. The G1/2 port size supports standard pneumatic plumbing, allowing straightforward regulator integration and rapid installation on existing systems. Anodised aluminium barrel and martensitic stainless steel piston rod offer durability and corrosion resistance, boosting long-term service life in challenging environments. Non-magnetic construction improves sensor compatibility in automated systems, reducing magnetic interference with encoders and proximity sensors. Compatibility with the RM/900 range and the Martonair series ensures spare parts, service tools, and accessories are readily available, simplifying maintenance planning and procurement. Service kits QM/960/00 provide a proven path to field servicing, reducing downtime and sustaining predictable lifecycle costs in manufacturing environments.

FAQs
The RM/960/220 supports extensive mounting options within the RM/900 Martonair family, designed for straightforward alignment and installation on conveyors, presses, and automated stations. Quick-fit mounting accessories and standardized bore sizes help reduce assembly time, while the tie-rod design simplifies alignment during maintenance or reconfiguration.
The unit operates with compressed air as the medium, at 2 to 10 bar (29 to 145 psi). This range supports robust actuation across typical factory environments, while maintaining reliability and consistency under varying load conditions.
The cylinder features a 6 inch bore and a 220 mm stroke, delivering a substantial theoretical force of 10887 N. This enables high-load actuation with extended travel, reducing cycle counts for demanding applications such as packaging lines and automated assembly stations.
Yes. The cylinder uses a non-magnetic construction for compatibility with sensitive sensors. The piston rod is stainless steel (martensitic), and the barrel is anodised aluminium, providing durability while minimizing magnetic interference in encoder and proximity sensor applications.
Maintenance is simplified with the QM/960/00 service kits, proven spare parts, and a compatible RM/900 range ecosystem. This support helps minimize downtime, streamline field servicing, and control lifecycle costs across multiple actuation points in your line.
