FAQs
The RM/960/M/900 family offers a broad range of mountings compatible with typical Martonair cylinder configurations. For installation, align the tie rods to maintain straight travel, secure the mounting feet or end brackets with appropriate fasteners, and set the adjustable cushioning to control impact at the end of stroke. Refer to the datasheet for recommended torque values and mounting accessories to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
The cylinder has a theoretical force of 10887 N at the proper operating conditions and is rated for an operating pressure range of 2 to 10 bar. This combination supports high-load applications while allowing control over actuation speed through pressure adjustment. Always verify supply quality and regulator settings to maintain consistent performance across cycles.
Yes. With a 900 mm stroke and adjustable cushioning, this model is well-suited for long-travel tasks such as material handling on conveyors, transfer zones, and lift-and-release operations. Ensure proper mounting geometry to keep the rod aligned during extended travel and set cushioning for smooth deceleration to extend component life and reduce vibration.
