FAQs
The RM/960/X/150 uses a standard G1/2 port and supports extensive mounting options, enabling straightforward integration with common pneumatic manifolds and fixtures. When planning retrofits, verify alignment with existing tie-rod cylinders, ensure cushion settings are adjusted for the load profile, and confirm mounting compatibility with your automation cell to minimize rework and downtime.
This model is designed for 2 to 10 bar (29 to 145 psi) operating pressure and an operating temperature range of -20 to 80 °C (-4 to 176 °F). These specifications support versatile use across typical industrial environments, including moderate to harsh production lines, while maintaining consistent force and stroke characteristics.
Yes, the 6" bore with a 150 mm stroke and adjustable cushioning provides controlled actuation with reliable force. Its non-magnetic, corrosion-resistant components help maintain smooth operation in packaging environments, and the wide mounting options support quick integration with conveyors and pick-and-place heads, contributing to stable cycle times and reduced maintenance.
The product data does not specify a certification list. In practice, components like this are designed to support CE conformity and operation within standard industrial environments. For explicit certification confirmation, consult the supplier or request the product’s certified documentation and test reports applicable to your regional regulatory requirements.
Routine maintenance centers on ensuring clean, dry compressed air, inspecting cushioning settings, and periodic inspection of the piston rod and seals. Service kits QM/960/00 are available for RM/900-series cylinders, supporting quick field rebuilds. The high thrust, durable materials, and adjustable cushioning reduce downtime, lower replacement frequency, and improve overall equipment uptime—delivering favorable ROI in demanding production lines.
