Norgren RM/960/430 Pneumatic Cylinder - 6" Bore
Part Number: RM/960/430
Quick Summary
Norgren RM/960/430 pneumatic cylinder delivers robust linear actuation for heavy-duty automation in manufacturing. Operators often face downtime from mis-stroked cycles or insufficient cushioning; this unit mitigates that with adjustable cushioning and a rugged, corrosion-resistant anodised aluminium barrel. The RM/960/430 family supports CE-compliant configurations and IP-rated variants across the RM/900 range, with optional non-magnetic piston rods for demanding environments. With a 6 inch bore and 430 mm stroke, it delivers a theoretical force of 10887 N suitable for clamping, transfer, and other material-handling tasks. The result is improved cycle times, extended service life, and a clear ROI through lower maintenance and greater uptime in industrial automation and manufacturing settings.

Service kits for RM/900, 6"
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The RM/960/430 combines a 6 inch bore with a 430 mm stroke to deliver high, reliable thrust for demanding material-handling tasks, reducing cycle time and increasing throughput on packaging lines. This translates to measurable efficiency gains and lower operational costs in high-volume duties, such as part transfer and clamp operations in automotive and general manufacturing. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Adjustable cushioning minimizes impact, vibration, and noise during end-of-stroke events, preserving component life and reducing maintenance downtime; ideal for precision positioning in robotic-assisted pick-and-place tasks. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Anodised aluminium barrel and martensitic stainless steel piston rod resist wear and corrosion, extending service intervals in wash-down and harsh industrial settings; enables longer life in food, beverage, and chemical processing lines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Non-magnetic construction supports clean-room and EMI-sensitive environments where magnetic interference must be avoided, such as CNC zones and precision tooling areas. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Standard G1/2 port size and compatibility with RM/900 series mountings simplify retrofits and new installations, reducing integration time and commissioning risk. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Theoretical force of 10887 N enables reliable clamping and high-load transfer without oversized equipment, delivering cost-effective performance for lifecycle-critical automation. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Service kits QM/960/00 for RM/900, 6" ensure predictable maintenance and spare-part availability, lowering total cost of ownership and downtime across the plant.

FAQs
The RM/960/430 is designed to align with the RM/900 mounting family, offering multiple tie-rod and standard mounting options. Check the piston rod end and mounting interface compatibility, select the appropriate brackets or clevises, and ensure the G1/2 port is connected to a compliant compressed air supply within 2–10 bar to maintain performance without binding or misalignment.
Operating pressure is 2 to 10 bar (29 to 145 psi) with compressed air as the working medium. This range supports rapid actuation while maintaining control over stroke and cushioning, suitable for high-cycle applications in material handling and automation lines.
Yes, thanks to the adjustable cushioning and strong theoretical thrust of 10887 N. The design minimizes impact and wear, enabling reliable high-speed transfer and clamp operations while reducing shock loads on downstream equipment and mounts.
Certifications vary by configuration; the RM/960/430 family commonly supports CE compliance and IP-rated variants within the RM/900 range. For exact certification details and to select non-magnetic or special variants, consult the datasheet and verify with your supplier for the configured build.
Maintenance is supported by the QM/960/00 service kits for RM/900 series cylinders, enabling scheduled service and part replacement. Refer to the datasheet for torque, cushion adjustment procedures, and installation guidance to maximize uptime and extend service intervals.
