Feature → Business Impact → Application: The 6" bore provides high thrust, enabling reliable actuation for heavy-duty clamping and pushing tasks; the result is increased cycle reliability and reduced downtime on stamping and material handling lines. The 600 mm stroke offers extended travel to improve throughput in pick-and-place and alignment operations, reducing cycle times in automated assembly. Double-acting operation gives precise bidirectional control without external power, supporting clean, compact layouts in confined automation cells. Adjustable cushioning minimizes impact loads, extending cylinder life and protecting delicate sensors in high-speed cycles. The anodised aluminium barrel and martensitic stainless steel piston rod deliver corrosion resistance and long-term durability in harsh plant environments. Non-magnetic construction helps maintain sensor and encoder accuracy in proximity to the cylinder. The G1/2 port size matches standard pneumatic fittings, simplifying hose routing and installation. Temperature range from -20 to 80 °C and operating pressure of 2–10 bar ensure compatibility with broad plant air systems. The RM/900-series Martonair lineage offers proven reliability and easy serviceability, including QM/960/00 service kits for quick maintenance. These features collectively reduce downtime, improve machine uptime, and lower total cost of ownership in demanding automation applications.

FAQs
The RM/960/600 supports an extensive range of mountings common to heavy-duty pneumatic cylinders, enabling quick integration into existing frames and automation cells. When selecting a mount, consider stroke clearance, sensor placement, and alignment with push/pull loads to maximize reliability and reduce set-up time.
Operating pressure ranges from 2 to 10 bar (29 to 145 psi), and operating temperatures span -20 to 80 °C (-4 to 176 °F). The cylinder uses a G1/2 port, aligning with standard pneumatic fittings and hoses for straightforward installation.
Yes. With a 6" bore delivering up to 10887 N of theoretical force and a 600 mm stroke, the cylinder supports high-load actuation. Adjustable cushioning reduces impact, enabling higher cycle rates without compromising longevity or sensor performance.
Barrel is made from anodised aluminium and the piston rod from martensitic stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance. The non-magnetic construction minimizes magnetic interference with nearby sensors and encoders, improving measurement accuracy in automated applications.
Service kits for RM/900 series are available (QM/960/00 for RM/900, 6 inch). Check the product datasheet for the exact maintenance kit compatibility and replacement intervals to keep the cylinder performing at peak efficiency.
