FAQs
The RM/960/350 supports an extensive range of mountings designed for robust alignment and easy integration with existing frames. When selecting a mounting, consider stroke direction, load alignment, and available space on the actuator end. Our team can advise on compatible adapters and quick-change accessories to minimize installation time and preserve stroke accuracy.
Key specifications include a 6" bore, 350 mm stroke, theoretical force of 10887 N, operating pressure of 2-10 bar, and operating temperature from -20 to 80 °C. Port size is G1/2 and the cylinder operates in a double-acting mode with adjustable cushioning for controlled deceleration at end-of-stroke.
Yes, with adjustable cushioning and a high-force capability, the RM/960/350 is well-suited for high-cycle applications. To maximize speed, ensure supply pressure stays within 2-10 bar, the air supply is clean and dry, and the cushioning is tuned to balance impact reduction with return speed. Proper mounting and alignment are essential for optimal performance.
For industrial pneumatics, look for European CE compliance and applicable safety standards, along with appropriate IP protection ratings for the environment. SIL safety considerations may be relevant for automated safety interlocks. Always confirm with the supplier for the exact product’s certification scope and any region-specific requirements.
Use the QM/960/00 service kits designed for RM/900-series cylinders, including the RM/960/00 variants. Regular maintenance should cover seal inspection, cushioning adjustment, and mounting checks. Service kits simplify parts replacement, help maintain performance, and minimize downtime during scheduled maintenance or retrofits.
