FAQs
The RM/960/300 offers extensive mounting options to fit most installations. It uses a robust tie-rod design with multiple end-attachment points and compatible brackets, enabling both flange and through-rod orientations without sacrificing alignment. This flexibility simplifies retrofits on existing lines and reduces installation time, helping engineers standardize components across machines.
Operating pressure ranges from 2 to 10 bar (29 to 145 psi), and operating temperature spans -20 to 80 °C (-4 to 176 °F). This broad envelope supports use in diverse environments, from cold to hot manufacturing floors, while maintaining consistent thrust and performance in high-cycle applications.
Yes. With a theoretical thrust of 10887 N at the rated conditions and a 6" bore, the cylinder delivers high loading capability for clamping, forming, and light press operations. The adjustable cushioning helps manage impact and extend service life, while the stainless steel piston rod and anodised aluminium barrel resist wear in repetitive cycles.
Yes. The RM/960/300 includes adjustable cushioning to tailor end-of-stroke deceleration for your load, speed, and cycle time. Properly tuned cushioning reduces vibration, decreases wear on seals and mounts, and improves repeatability in high-cycle pick-and-place and transfer applications.
Service options include available QM/960/00 service kits for RM/900, 6" variants, supporting proactive maintenance. Regular inspection of end caps, seals, and cushioning settings helps prevent leaks and drift. The non-magnetic, corrosion-resistant construction reduces maintenance frequency, while compatibility with standard mounting hardware simplifies parts stocking and service across multiple machines.
