Feature: 6 inch diameter bore and a 500 mm stroke enable high force and extended travel per cycle, which translates to increased productivity on material handling and transfer tasks. Business Impact: More responsive actuation with fewer cycle losses, reducing cycle times and improving line throughput in high-volume assembly. Application: Ideal for presses and repetitive clamping operations where precision and repeatability are critical. Feature: Adjustable cushioning provides tunable impact control, protecting machinery and workpieces from shock loads. Business Impact: Lower maintenance costs and longer equipment life due to reduced wear on end-of-stroke cushions. Application: Suitable for automated pick-and-place and transfer applications where different payloads are encountered. Feature: Magnetic piston and stainless steel (martensitic) rod offer reliable position sensing and corrosion resistance. Business Impact: Easier integration with sensors and control logic, enabling accurate end-of-travel detection and longer service intervals in harsh environments. Application: Automated lines requiring robust sensing and durability. Feature: G1/2 port size and a wide operating pressure range of 2 to 10 bar ensure compatibility with standard pneumatic systems. Business Impact: Flexible integration with existing plant air supplies and control hardware, reducing installation time and cost. Application: Flexible retrofits in legacy lines or new automation cells. Feature: Anodised aluminium barrel and the Martonair series heritage deliver lightweight yet rugged construction. Business Impact: Reduced weight without sacrificing strength, enabling faster actuation with lower energy consumption. Application: Stations with tight space envelopes or high-duty cycles. Feature: Compatible with service kits such as QM/960/00 for maintenance and field-friendly servicing. Business Impact: Lower downtime and simpler spare-part management, supporting predictable maintenance schedules. Application: OEMs and end users implementing standardized servicing across a factory floor.

FAQs
RM/960/M/500 is designed to work with a broad range of mountings available for Martonair cylinders. The tie-rod construction supports versatile end-mount configurations, and users can reference QM/960/00 service kits for compatible mounting accessories and replacement components to simplify installation and future maintenance.
The cylinder operates between 2 and 10 bar (29–145 psi). It is designed for temperatures from -20 to 80 °C (-4 to 176 °F). This makes it suitable for most standard industrial air systems and harsh environments where reliable pneumatic actuation is required.
The barrel is made from anodised aluminium, providing a lightweight yet durable chassis, while the piston rod is stainless steel (martensitic) for strength and corrosion resistance. The combination supports long life in demanding applications and helps maintain consistent performance in adverse conditions.
Yes, the cushioning is adjustable. This allows you to tailor deceleration and impact force at the end of stroke, reducing component wear, protecting workpieces, and optimizing cycle times for varying payloads across different automation tasks.
Typical applications include material handling, transfer, and clamping within automated lines. The 6 inch bore and 500 mm stroke support high-force, long-travel movements, while the magnetic piston aids sensing. Its rugged design and wide mounting options make it suitable for high-cycle production and systems requiring reliable pneumatic actuation.
