Norgren RM/980/110 Tie rod cylinder - Adjustable cushioning
Part Number: RM/980/110
Quick Summary
Norgren RM/980/110 tie rod cylinder provides robust double-acting actuation for industrial automation applications. Customers often struggle with wear, inconsistent cushioning, and limited mounting options that drive downtime and scrap. While the datasheet doesn’t list every regional certification, this model features a rugged anodised barrel, martensitic stainless rod, and adjustable cushioning that support durable, repeatable cycles in harsh environments. For best results, work with your distributor to confirm region-specific compliance and leverage the RM/900 family with compatible service kits QM/980/00 for easy maintenance. Together, these features deliver reliable pneumatic actuation, reduce unplanned downtime, and improve cycle-time predictability across clamp, transfer, and packaging applications.

QM/980/00
Service kits for RM/900, 8"
The 8 inch bore and 110 mm stroke deliver substantial theoretical force, enabling dependable clamping and transfer in heavy-duty lines. This translates to fewer cycle interruptions and tighter positional control in stamping, pressing, and fixture applications. The tie-rod double-acting configuration gives full push and pull capability with precise stop positions, reducing the need for secondary actuators and enabling compact line layouts. Adjustable cushioning minimizes impact loads at stroke end, reducing wear on seals and mounts and extending service life in high-cycle environments. Constructed with a corrosion-resistant anodised aluminium barrel and a martensitic stainless steel piston rod, the cylinder combines durability with lightweight handling and non-magnetic properties for clean-room or sensor-rich setups. The G3/4 port size and standard RM/900 family interface simplify plumbing and mounting, while the inclusion of service kits QM/980/00 supports fast field maintenance. Operating from 2 to 10 bar and -20 to 80 C, this unit is ready for typical factory air systems and aggressive environments. In practice, the RM/980/110 helps optimize cycle times, reduce machine downtime, and improve repeatability in transfer, clamping, and automated assembly tasks.

FAQs
The RM/980/110 supports the extensive RM/900 Martonair mounting options. When selecting mounts, ensure compatibility with the 8" bore and 110 mm stroke, check centerline alignment, and verify that bracket clearances accommodate the cylinder length and head/tollower attachments. Consult the OEM datasheet and your distributor for recommended bracket kits and torque limits to prevent misalignment and leakage.
Operating pressure is 2 to 10 bar (29 to 145 psi) and the operating temperature range is -20 to 80 °C (-4 to 176 °F). Ensure clean, dry compressed air with proper filtration to protect seals, and use suitable routing to avoid pressure spikes. The G3/4 port size is standard for this class of actuator, facilitating straightforward integration with common valve manifolds.
yes. With an 8" bore and a theoretical force of 19,417 N, this cylinder is designed for heavy-duty clamping, stamping, and transfer tasks. For high-speed cycling, verify your system’s valve performance and cushioning settings to minimize shock loads. In applications with rapid cycles, tune the adjustable cushions to balance speed and impact control without sacrificing life or precision.
Adjustable cushioning is provided to tailor end-of-stroke impact. Use the external cushion adjustment to dial damping to match load and cycle rate. Properly setting cushioning reduces rebound, seals wear, and fixture shock. If you need replacement seals or more detailed guidance, refer to QM/980/00 service kits designed for RM/900 series cylinders.
Yes, service kits QM/980/00 are available for RM/900 family 8" cylinders. Ordering is typically through your regional distributor or the OEM parts portal. The kit includes seals, o-rings, and related consumables to restore peak performance, minimize downtime, and extend the cylinder’s service life in demanding automation lines.
