Norgren RM/960/M/400 Pneumatics & Fluid Systems - Adjustable cushioning
Part Number: RM/960/M/400
Quick Summary
RM/960/M/400 is a tie rod double-acting cylinder used in heavy-duty automation and material handling applications. When cycles are high, inconsistent cushioning and limited mountings can lead to misalignment, increased wear, and unplanned downtime. This model builds on the proven Martonair platform, offering adjustable cushioning, a magnetic piston, and robust anodised aluminium barrel with a stainless steel rod for long life in tough environments. While exact certifications vary by region, the design aligns with CE-style safety expectations and rugged IP-rated construction for industrial settings, supporting reliable operation across challenging temperatures and pressures. For OEMs and integrators, the combination of standardized mounting options, service-friendly components, and a wide operating envelope translates into lower life-cycle costs and faster time-to-value for pneumatic cylinder solutions.
