IMI Norgren RM/960/305 Tie Rod Cylinder - 10887 N
Part Number: RM/960/305
Quick Summary
Tie rod double acting cylinder RM/960/305 delivers rugged linear actuation for automated lines and end-of-arm tooling. Engineers often struggle with mounting constraints, vibration, and inconsistent cushioning that degrade cycle times and equipment life. In this class of cylinders, certifications such as CE marking for safety, IP ratings for reliability in harsh environments, and SIL-capable configurations are standard expectations to support compliance. The RM/960/305 is designed with a 6" bore, adjustable cushioning, and corrosion-resistant components to meet demanding applications. This combination reduces downtime, simplifies retrofits, and improves predictability in pneumatic automation for material handling, assembly, and packaging lines.

FAQs
Yes. The RM/960/305 features an extensive range of mounting options designed to align with standard industrial frames and existing automation hardware. This facilitates quick retrofits and minimizes rework, ensuring dependable alignment for heavy-load applications while reducing commissioning time.
The cylinder supports a broad envelope: -20 to 80 °C and 2 to 10 bar (29 to 145 psi). With a G1/2 port and non-magnetic construction, it remains reliable across varied shift temperatures and pressures, maintaining performance and repeatability in dynamic production lines.
Ideal for clamping, pressing, material handling, and automated assembly where high force and durable cushioning are critical. The 6" bore delivers substantial load capacity, while adjustable cushioning protects tooling and reduces vibration during high-cycle operations.
Adjustable cushioning tunes deceleration at end-of-stroke, reducing shock loads, vibration, and edge wear. This directly translates to lower maintenance, longer seal life, and more consistent cycle times in robotic pick-and-place and press-feeding applications.
Maintenance is supported by a dedicated QM/960/00 service kit ecosystem, designed for RM/900-series components. Regular replacement parts, along with documented setup and mounting guidance, help sustain performance and minimize unplanned downtime.
