Service kits for RM/900, 6"
The RM/960/900 offers a 6 inch bore double-acting cylinder, delivering high thrust suitable for presses and material handling, with a theoretical force of 10887 N. The double-acting configuration provides independent control of extension and retraction, enabling faster cycle times and tighter process control while reducing external valve complexity in automated lines. Adjustable cushioning helps minimize impact, reducing mechanical wear and energy losses, which translates to longer service life in high-load applications. The anodised aluminium barrel paired with a martensitic stainless steel piston rod provides corrosion resistance and durability, while the non-magnetic construction supports reliable sensor readings and EMI resilience on sensor-rich automation environments. A G1/2 port and a 2–10 bar operating window ensure compatibility with standard plant air systems; the RM/900 range and Martonair series enable scalable installations with straightforward field servicing via QM/960/00 service kits.

FAQs
For mounting, ensure a rigid tie-rod configuration compatible with a 6 inch bore cylinder. Use standard mounting feet or end-mittings and verify your rod-end hardware can safely handle the 10887 N thrust. The G1/2 port size aligns with common compressed air lines; plan space for guides and cushioning adjustments to maintain alignment and smooth operation.
The cylinder provides a theoretical thrust of 10887 N at rated pressure. With a 900 mm stroke, maintain supply pressure between 2 and 10 bar for consistent speed. Adjustable cushioning helps manage deceleration and impact, protecting both the actuator and downstream equipment in demanding cycles.
Yes, the double-acting action supports rapid cycling when paired with appropriate valve sequencing and clean air supply. Adjustable cushioning helps manage impact at higher speeds, reducing wear. Actual cycle rates depend on load, air supply quality, and stroke length, so consider a test on your specific line.
