Service kits for RM/900, 6"
Feature: Tie-rod double-acting construction provides balanced push and pull with high rigidity. Business impact: This geometry reduces flex and wear, improving repeatability and extending service life in high-cycle lines. Application: Well suited for stamping feeds, clamping stations, and conveyor transfers where consistent force and controlled retraction are essential for uptime and quality. Paragraph 2: Feature: 6 inch bore paired with a 760 mm stroke creates a versatile power and reach profile. Business impact: Enables substantial thrust while simplifying layouts, cutting the number of actuators required in long-throw applications. Application: Material handling, large-diameter gripping, and fixtures where long travel is needed without compromising cycle time. Paragraph 3: Feature: Adjustable cushioning reduces impact and vibration at end of stroke. Business impact: Protects tooling, minimizes process disturbances, and lowers maintenance costs. Application: High-speed indexing, press-automation lines, and feed systems where soft landings improve part quality and extend component life. Paragraph 4: Feature: Anodised aluminium barrel and martensitic stainless steel piston rod provide durability and corrosion resistance. Business impact: Enables longer service intervals and better performance in challenging environments. Application: Washdown areas, coastal facilities, and applications with nearby sensors that require non-magnetic components to avoid interference. Paragraph 5: Feature: G1/2 port with extensive mounting options simplifies integration. Business impact: Reduces setup time, improves modularity, and supports easy retrofits into existing machinery. Application: Retrofit projects and new builds across RM/900 series lines, with configurable guidance for alignment and sensor installation. Paragraph 6: Feature: High theoretical force of 10887 N reflects robust capability for demanding cycles. Business impact: Supports demanding clamping, stamping, and gripping tasks with margin for integration with automated tooling. Application: Die handling, automated assembly, and transfer systems along the production line.

FAQs
To install RM/960/760, begin with clean, dry air supply and verify port connections to G1/2 fittings. Align the cylinder bore with the load path, use appropriate mounting brackets from the RM/900 range, and tighten fixture bolts to specification. Calibrate the adjustable cushioning to suit cycle timing, then test with light duty before full production to ensure smooth, repeatable motion and proper sensor/readout alignment.
The RM/960/760 delivers a 6 inch bore with a 760 mm stroke, and a theoretical force of 10887 N. This combination supports demanding clamping, stamping, and fixture tasks. In practice, verify actual load by accounting for system friction, air pressure (2–10 bar), and end-of-stroke cushioning settings to maintain precision under cycle conditions.
RM/960/760 operates across -20 to 80 C (-4 to 176 F) with a working pressure range of 2 to 10 bar (29 to 145 psi). The G1/2 port supports standard pneumatic supply, and the design uses non-magnetic materials for sensor compatibility. This makes it suitable for tough industrial environments while maintaining reliable performance.
Service kits for RM/900 series are available as QM/960/00, providing replacement components for routine maintenance, seals, and cushions. Using the approved kit ensures compatibility with the 6" bore, 760 mm stroke cylinder and helps preserve performance, reduce downtime, and extend service intervals in high-cycle applications.
Yes. The RM/960/760 supports a wide range of mountings and accessories designed for modular integration with RM/900 series tooling. Its non-magnetic construction and standard G1/2 ports ease sensor placement and wiring, while adjustable cushioning supports precise sensor timing and reduced misalignment, enabling smoother integration into existing lines and new automation projects.
