Norgren RT/57225/MC/320 Roundline Double Acting Cylinder - Magnetic Piston
Part Number: RT/57225/MC/320
Quick Summary
Norgren RT/57225/MC/320 Roundline double acting cylinder delivers compact, reliable linear actuation for automated assembly lines and machine tending. When space is tight, traditional cylinders can limit stroke, increase cycle time, or complicate maintenance. This model aligns with common industry standards for pneumatic actuators, including anticipated CE conformity, IP-rated protection, and SIL-ready control compatibility—verify specifics in the datasheet. With a 25 mm bore, 320 mm stroke, stainless steel barrel and rod, and a standard magnetic piston, it offers durable performance in high-cycle environments while supporting easy integration into existing control architectures. The result is improved throughput, predictable life, and reduced total cost of ownership for automated systems.

Space-saving design reduces footprint by approximately 20% compared to a basic ISO/VDMA cylinder, enabling higher-density layouts and faster cycle times; this translates to increased machine uptime and lower energy consumption as actuators reach position quicker with less inertia. Long-life, low-friction seals paired with buffer cushioning minimize wear and maintenance intervals, delivering lower replacement costs and steadier motion profiles in high-cycle applications like pick-and-place. A magnetic piston supports easy position sensing and compatibility with standard control systems, improving integration speed and reducing wiring complexity during automation upgrades. Stainless steel (austenitic) barrel and martensitic piston rod provide corrosion resistance and robustness in damp or washdown environments, extending service life and reducing downtime in demanding production lines. Rc1/8 porting and the Roundline series design preserve compatibility with common manifold blocks and mounting schemes, simplifying retrofits and upgrades. Theoretical force is 294 N across the operating pressure range of 1–10 bar, with performance closely tied to supply pressure and load, enabling predictable force budgeting in design calculations. The cylinder’s cushioning and magnetic features empower optimized stopping accuracy, repeatability, and smoother accelerations, which helps reduce vibration-related wear on adjacent equipment and improve overall line reliability.

FAQs
RT/57225/MC/320 uses the Roundline family design with standard mounting patterns compatible with ISO/VDMA practices and Rc1/8 porting. The magnetic piston enables straightforward sensing and integration with common control systems, while the 25 mm bore and 320 mm stroke support versatile stroke profiles. For retrofits, verify mounting hole patterns and clevis/foot arrangements in the datasheet to ensure a seamless fit.
The cylinder provides a theoretical force of 294 N. Actual force depends on the supply pressure within the 1–10 bar range and the load being moved. Higher pressure increases output force, while lighter loads improve speed and efficiency. Always calculate based on your specific load, stroke, and duty cycle to ensure reliable positioning and cycle life.
Yes, the design features a stainless steel barrel (austenitic) and a stainless steel piston rod (martensitic) that offer corrosion resistance suitable for challenging environments. Together with buffer cushioning, this configuration supports durable operation in damp or washdown areas, reducing wear and extending service intervals in food, beverage, packaging, and automotive assembly lines.
