FAQs
The RM/960/50 supports Norgren's extensive mounting options, enabling easy installation on existing frames and compatibility with standard configurations. For installation, align the bore, secure the cylinder to the chosen mounting, connect the G1/2 air supply, and ensure secure electrical or sensor integration where applicable. Refer to the datasheet and service kits for installation guidance and replacement parts.
Operating pressure ranges from 2 to 10 bar (29 to 145 psi). The cylinder provides a theoretical force of 10887 N at this bore size, delivering strong, reliable actuation for heavy loads and demanding cycles in automation lines.
Yes, the combination of a 6" bore, adjustable cushioning, and double-acting operation supports high-load material handling and precise clamping with controlled momentum. The cushioning can be tuned to minimize impact, enabling faster cycle times while protecting equipment from shock and wear in dynamic transfer and clamping tasks.
Certifications for this class of cylinder are typically defined by regional requirements and the datasheet. This page references CE compliance concepts and standard industry practices; verify exact certifications in the product datasheet linked in the downloads section for your region and specific configuration (IP ratings, SIL readiness, etc.).
Regular maintenance with the QM/960/00 service kit simplifies replacement of wear parts, cushions, and seals, reducing unexpected downtime. The kit supports RM/900-series components in the same family, aiding streamlined stocking and serviceability. Over time, predictable maintenance translates to lower spare-part costs and higher line availability.
