FAQs
This unit uses Rc1/8 ports and a double-acting operation. It aligns with standard ISO/VDMA cylinder profiles within the Roundline range, enabling straightforward installation on common factory frames. For mounting orientation and end-cap choices, refer to the datasheet and verify sensor placements and end-of-stroke options before procurement.
The cylinder provides about 754 N of theoretical force at the rated stroke. It operates from 1 to 10 bar (approximately 15 to 145 psi) and works across -10 to 80 °C. Use clean, dry compressed air and ensure regulator and filtration meet your plant specifications.
Yes, particularly for compact pick-and-place and small-stroke applications. The 40 mm diameter with a 10 mm stroke, along with buffer cushioning, supports smooth starts and stops, improving repeatability. For high-speed lines, pair with appropriate sensors on the magnetic piston to maintain reliable feedback.
Certification details are not listed in the provided data. Check the official Norgren datasheet for CE marking, IP ratings, SIL options, and other regional approvals applicable to your configuration and installation environment.
The stainless steel barrel and piston rod provide corrosion resistance for longer service life in challenging environments. Magnetic piston facilitates sensor integration, while cushioning reduces impact wear. Regular inspection of seals, lubrication per recommendations, and end-cap condition help maximize uptime in automated lines.
