FAQs
The RM/960/G/300 uses standard pneumatic mounting interfaces and a 6 inch bore, with a G1/2 port that aligns with Norgren and RM/900 series components. When installing, confirm correct mounting pattern, align the rod axis with load lines, and use the appropriate mounting style from Norgren’s catalog. The optional QM/960/00 service kit simplifies maintenance and compatibility checks.
This cylinder offers a theoretical force of approximately 10887 N at the rated conditions, with an operating pressure range of 2 to 10 bar. Expect strong, consistent thrust during high-load cycles and predictable retraction forces. For best results, ensure air supply stability within the 2–10 bar window and monitor cushion settings to optimize impact resistance.
Yes. The 6 in bore, 300 mm stroke, adjustable cushioning, and high theoretical force make it well-suited for material handling and press-like tasks. The non-magnetic piston rod and anodised aluminium barrel add durability, while compatible mountings and service options support rapid deployment in automated lines and clamp/feeding stations.
The provided data does not specify formal certifications. In practice, verify CE marking for European compliance and assess environmental/IP requirements for your application. Consider SIL safety classifications for control logic and ensure your installation follows the manufacturer’s guidance for electrical and pneumatic interfaces to meet your internal standards.
Maintenance hinges on the service kit QM/960/00 compatibility with RM/900 type cylinders, enabling scheduled overhauls of seals and cushions. The rugged aluminium barrel and stainless steel rod reduce wear, lowering downtime. A proactive maintenance plan, leveraging reliable components and standard spare parts, improves machine throughput and total cost of ownership in high-cycle environments.
