Norgren RM/980/100 Tie Rod Cylinder - 8in Bore
Part Number: RM/980/100
Quick Summary
Tie rod cylinder RM/980/100 provides robust double-acting actuation for heavy-duty automation in manufacturing. Engineers often struggle with cushioning consistency and mounting compatibility on large-bore cylinders; adjustable cushioning helps maintain precision and reduces cycle wear. The data set does not specify formal certifications such as CE, SIL, or IP ratings for this specific model; consult the official datasheet or supplier to confirm regional compliance. Designed to integrate with the RM/900 family and other Norgren components, it combines an anodised aluminium barrel, a stainless steel piston rod, and flexible mounting options to boost uptime and reliability in pneumatic systems, even under demanding cycles.

FAQs
The RM/980/100 offers an extensive range of mountings designed to accommodate heavy loads and precise alignment. It is compatible with standard pneumatic fittings (G3/4 port) and can be integrated with common factory mounting brackets used in linear pneumatic systems. For optimal performance, select the mounting configuration that matches your stroke direction and load path, and verify clearance for the 8" bore and 100 mm stroke.
Key specs include 8" cylinder diameter, 100 mm stroke, operating pressure 2–10 bar (29–145 psi), medium as compressed air, and a theoretical thrust of 19,417 N. The cylinder operates from -20 to 80 °C and features adjustable cushioning and a non-magnetic design with a stainless steel piston rod, making it suitable for demanding industrial cycles.
Yes. The large bore, combined with a high theoretical force and adjustable cushioning, supports reliable actuation in high-load scenarios. For high-speed lines, ensure supply pressure remains within 2–10 bar and confirm mounting and routing keep friction and misalignment minimal to maintain trajectory accuracy.
Certification details such as CE, SIL, or IP ratings are not listed in the provided data. Please consult the official Norgren datasheet or your supplier to confirm regional compliance and any variant-specific certifications before deployment in regulated environments.
