Norgren M/146232/M/500 Rodless Cylinder - 500 mm Stroke
Part Number: M/146232/M/500
Quick Summary
The M/146232/M/500 rodless cylinder provides precise linear actuation for automated pick-and-place tasks. In compact layouts, space constraints and dust exposure can degrade performance, and this unit’s roller-guided design, lightweight extrusion, and standard dust protection mitigate those challenges. Typical Lintra Plus products support CE conformity and robust sealing, with IP-rated variants and SIL-ready configurations available through specific end-use implementations. This combination delivers reliable pneumatic automation with low maintenance, maximizing uptime and reducing total cost of ownership in modern factory environments. For engineers and procurement specialists, the solution aligns with core pneumatics and linear-motion workflows while enhancing interchangeability with related M-series actuators.

FAQs
The M/146232/M/500 uses universal mounting grooves and a 32 mm diameter cylinder with roller guiding to ensure smooth, repeatable motion. To install, align the cylinder with the mounting pattern on your carriage, secure through mounting holes, and attach the G1/4 port with appropriate fittings. Ensure end-stop cushions are set correctly to minimize impact at stroke ends and verify compatibility with the M/46000 family for interchangeability.
Key specs include 32 mm cylinder diameter, 500 mm stroke, G1/4 port size, and a operating pressure range of 1 to 8 bar (15 to 116 psi). The operating temperature spans -30 to 80 °C, with adjustable cushioning and a magnetic piston for sensing. Weight is about 4.8 kg, and the unit features a rugged anodised aluminium barrel and nitrile/ polyurethane seals for durability.
This model is designed for robust industrial use, and Norgren product families commonly align with CE conformity and dust-resistant variants. Specific IP ratings and SIL-capable configurations depend on the end-use setup and version chosen. For exact certification levels in your application, reference the datasheet and consult Norgren’s technical support to confirm the precise IP and safety instrumented system (SIL) options.
Its roller-guided, magnetically sensed rodless design makes it ideal for packaging lines, automated assembly cells, and pick-and-place or sliding-transfer tasks where space is limited. The adjustable cushioning supports varied payloads, while interchangeability with the M/46000 series simplifies retrofits and expansion of Lintra Plus ecosystems in manufacturing facilities.
Regularly inspect seals (nitrile and polyurethane) for wear and replace as needed, especially in dusty environments. Monitor the cushioning setting to keep stroke ends smooth, and check the magnetic piston sensor alignment for reliable signaling. Leverage protective dust features and verify compatibility with existing lubrication schedules to sustain performance and reduce replacement costs over time.
