FAQs

RM/960/450 supports a wide range of mounting configurations typical for tie-rod pneumatic cylinders. Choose from front, rear, cross-tlot, or clevis mounts compatible with the Martonair RM/900 family. When selecting mounts, align with your stroke, load direction, and attachment points to minimize side loading and maximize life. Mounting compatibility also helps standardize maintenance parts across a line.
The RM/960/450 offers a 450 mm stroke and a theoretical force of 10887 N, enabling strong, consistent actuation over long moves. This combination supports heavy loads and rapid cycle times in material handling and stamping fixtures. For peak performance, ensure supply pressure stays within 2–10 bar and that end-of-stroke damping is configured via adjustable cushioning.
Yes, RM/960/450 is designed for high-cycle applications in packaging lines, provided the air supply is within 2–10 bar and the line can sustain clean, dry compressed air. The 6" bore and robust construction support repeatable positioning at elevated speeds. For reliability, match the drive cycle to the cushioning setting and ensure regular maintenance of air filtration.
The provided data does not explicitly list certifications. In industrial practice, components like this Toro-style cylinder are expected to integrate with CE-compliant systems and standard IP-rated housings. Verify with the datasheet (Datasheet RM/900 family) or your supplier for explicit CE, IP ratings, and SIL-related safety compatibility before deployment.
Maintenance benefits come from adjustable cushioning, non-magnetic components, and a corrosion-resistant aluminium barrel, which reduce wear and simplify cleaning. The long service life lowers downtime and replacement costs, improving overall ROI for high-cycle lines. Regular inspection of seals, port connections, and cushioning settings helps sustain peak efficiency over the system’s life.
