With a 6 inch bore and 100 mm stroke, the RM/960/M/100 delivers substantial thrust and stroke length for heavy-load applications, including large presses, transfer lines, and high-cycle pick-and-place tasks. The cylinder’s rugged frame supports sustained performance under demanding cycles, while the compact envelope simplifies integration into existing automation layouts. This combination of size, force, and precision translates into higher throughput and consistent repeatability across shifts, reducing process variability and scrap. Adjustable cushioning absorbs shock on start-up and end-of-stroke events, minimising mechanical stress on actuators and workpieces. Operators benefit from smoother motion profiles, fewer maintenance events, and extended component life in high-speed lines. By tuning the damping, you can optimise deceleration for different loads without sacrificing cycle time. A magnetic piston enables easy integration with proximity sensors and PLC feedback loops, delivering reliable position detection without additional retrofits. This improves control accuracy, simplifies commissioning, and reduces wiring complexity on crowded manifolds. In line with Industry 4.0 goals, sensor-ready cylinders like the RM/960/M/100 help you capture data for predictive maintenance. The aluminium barrel is anodised for corrosion resistance, while the martensitic stainless steel piston rod resists wear and scoring in dirty or humid environments. Together they extend service life in demanding production facilities and reduce replacement costs. The cylinder also supports a broad range of mounting options, making it straightforward to retrofit or upgrade existing equipment. Operating pressure from 2 to 10 bar and temperatures from -20 to 80 °C cover most general industrial environments, while the 10887 N theoretical force provides a clear ceiling for design calculations. The G1/2 port size aligns with standard pneumatic manifolds, enabling quick piping and leak-tested connections. Compatible ecosystem features include RM/900 components and service kits QM/960/00 to streamline maintenance. From a practical standpoint, this Martonair lineage combines proven ruggedness with modern actuation demands, delivering predictable lifecycle costs and easier supplier support. Field teams value the commonality of spare parts, documentation, and training across the RM/900 family, reducing downtime and accelerating onboarding. In short, RM/960/M/100 offers robust performance with procurement simplicity for demanding automation projects.
