Norgren RM/980/200 Pneumatic Cylinder - Cushioning
Part Number: RM/980/200
Quick Summary
Norgren RM/980/200 pneumatic cylinder delivers robust, precise linear motion for heavy-duty automation in packaging, material handling, and manufacturing applications. Engineers often face inconsistent thrust, vibration, and misalignment under high loads, which can throttle line speed and increase wear. While this data set does not specify CE, IP, or SIL certifications for this exact unit, consult the official datasheet for compliance details and certification status. Designed to integrate with standard mountings and air supplies, the RM/980/200 supports retrofit projects, reduces downtime, and improves overall line efficiency across harsh industrial environments.

FAQs
Begin with proper mounting using the tie-rod framework and ensure alignment of the 8 inch bore cylinder. Connect the G3/4 port to a clean, regulated air supply, install appropriate fittings, and verify that the stroke path is unobstructed. Adjust the cushioning to suit the application and verify seals for leak-free operation during cycling.
Operating temperature ranges from -20 to 80 °C (-4 to 176 °F). Operating pressure is 2 to 10 bar (29 to 145 psi). Port size is G3/4, cylinder diameter is 8 inches, stroke length is 200 mm, and the cylinder is double-acting with adjustable cushioning. Theoretical force is 19,417 N, and the piston rod is stainless steel (martensitic) with a non-magnetic construction.
Yes, the large bore and open stroke provide strong actuation, while adjustable cushioning helps control impact at line speed. For best results on high-speed lines, synchronize valve timing, ensure clean air supply, and select cushioning settings that minimize dwell time without sacrificing product handling or reliability.
Service kits for RM/900, 8" models are available as QM/980/00, designed to renew seals and components during maintenance. Use these kits to refresh o-rings, seals, and related wear parts, extending life between major replacements and maintaining consistent performance on mature automation lines.
The barrel is made from anodised aluminium for corrosion resistance and rigidity, while the piston rod is stainless steel (martensitic) for wear resistance. The assembly is non-magnetic to minimize interference in nearby sensors, enabling reliable operation across harsh industrial environments.
