FAQs
The RM/960/460 offers an extensive range of mounting options to support various orientations and attachment points, simplifying installation on conveyors, presses, and automated cells. When selecting mounts, consider stroke direction, rod end clearances, and load alignment to ensure smooth operation and accurate repeatability across cycles.
The cylinder is designed for compressed air at 2 to 10 bar and operates effectively between -20 to 80 degrees Celsius (-4 to 176 degrees Fahrenheit). This broad range supports use in standard workshops as well as harsher industrial environments while maintaining performance and cushioning characteristics.
Yes. The RM/960/460 delivers a high theoretical force of 10887 N, making it suitable for demanding tasks such as heavy clamping, lifting, and pressing workloads. In practice, actual force depends on operating conditions, but the design maintains consistent performance across the specified pressure range.
This cylinder uses a G1/2 port size and is designed for compressed air as the operating medium. The standard porting and bore dimension support straightforward integration with common pneumatic valves and manifolds in automation ecosystems.
Service kits are available for the RM/900 family, with QM/960/00 listed for 6 inch RM/900 cylinders. While specific compatibility should be confirmed for RM/960/460, these kits provide a clear maintenance path and spare-part options within the Martonair lineage, aiding downtime reduction and lifecycle planning.
