Feature: Tie rod mechanical design yields robust stability under high-frequency cycling and heavy loads. Business Impact: reduces maintenance, extends component life, and lowers total cost of ownership by avoiding frequent replacements. Application: ideal for clamp and actuation in welding, automotive assembly, and packaging lines where precise alignment and repeatable stroke are critical. Feature: 6 inch bore and 360 mm stroke provide substantial linear force with precise travel, enabling higher payload handling without sacrificing reliability. Business Impact: improves cycle times and reduces cycle-loss in medium-to-large actuations, lowering energy use and reducing frame wear. Application: suitable for material handling, clamp, press, and transfer applications that require dependable slow-to-medium-speed motion. Feature: Adjustable cushioning lets you tailor deceleration to load, speed, and cycle frequency. Business Impact: protects both the machine and workpiece, extends service life of seals, and minimizes vibration-induced wear on adjacent equipment. Application: suited to end-of-stroke control in packaging lines, indexing units, and automated assembly where controlled stopping is essential. Feature: Port size G1/2 standardizes air supply connections and aligns with a wide range of manifolds and fittings. Business Impact: reduces installation time, lowers accessory costs, and simplifies serviceability across multiple lines. Application: compatible with existing plant air systems in automotive, consumer electronics, and general automation environments. Feature: Materials—anodised aluminium barrel and martensitic stainless steel piston rod offer corrosion resistance and high rigidity. Business Impact: delivers longevity in wash-down and oily environments, reduces maintenance intervals, and supports high-cycle operation. Application: well-suited to harsh environments such as food processing, packaging, and adjacent assembly where durability matters. Feature: Non-magnetic construction ensures compatibility with magnetic-sensitive equipment. Business Impact: eliminates interference with sensors, cameras, and control systems, increasing uptime and accuracy. Application: ideal for automation cells, robotics, and high-precision pick-and-place where magnetic fields could disrupt performance.

FAQs

RM/960/360 supports standard Martonair mounting patterns with multiple end- and side-m mounting options. Ensure proper alignment of tie-rod connections and select end caps and cushions appropriate for your load. Use the G1/2 port with compatible manifolds and valves to achieve clean, reliable air delivery and serviceability across lines.
Operating pressure for RM/960/360 ranges from 2 to 10 bar (29 to 145 psi), while the operating temperature extends from -20 to 80 °C (-4 to 176 °F). These ranges enable use in typical factory environments, with attention to lubrication, coolant exposure, and shock loading to maintain performance.
Yes, the double-acting design supports rapid cycling, but speed must be controlled via proper cushioning, valve sizing, and air pressure. For high-speed lines, ensure the stroke length and deceleration are tuned to minimize rebound and vibration, while maintaining repeatable positioning and safe stopping.
Verify CE conformity for European markets and inspect any available datasheet or manufacturer certificates for IP ratings and safety approvals relevant to your plant. Certification details may vary by configuration; consult the datasheet linked with the product for official approvals before deployment.
Adjustable cushioning reduces shock loading, minimizes wear on seals and guides, and lowers downtime. Over time this translates to longer service life and lower maintenance costs. To quantify ROI, compare maintenance intervals and energy usage before and after implementing the cylinder in your cycle profile.
