FAQs
Ensure proper mounting using compatible RM/900 range fittings and solid end-plate fixtures. The unit features a G1/2 port and a 6" bore, so select compatible brackets and guides that support the stroke and bearing load. Plan for adjustable cushioning to tailor impact forces to your cycle rate and load profile.
The cylinder offers a theoretical force of 10887 N at nominal operating conditions. Adjustable cushioning minimizes peak impact, reduces wear on rod seals and end caps, and improves repeatability in high-speed cycles, making maintenance intervals more predictable.
Yes. With a 6" bore and 290 mm stroke, the cylinder delivers substantial stroke reach and thrust for handling, clamping, and transfer tasks. Its non-magnetic construction and robust barrel/rod materials suit sensor-rich lines and harsh environments commonly found in material handling applications.
The provided data lists material, dimensions, and operating ranges but does not specify exact certifications. Typical industrial pneumatic components in this class may reference CE marking and IP protection where applicable; always verify the current datasheet or with the manufacturer for the precise certifications on your variant.
Maintenance is streamlined by availability of QM/960/00 service kits for RM/900 series cylinders, enabling quick seal replacements and reduced downtime. The combination of adjustable cushioning and a durable anodised aluminium barrel plus martensitic stainless rod helps extend service intervals and lower lifecycle costs in high-cycle environments.
