Norgren RT/57225/MF/160 Roundline Cylinder - 25mm Bore, 160mm Stroke
Part Number: RT/57225/MF/160
Quick Summary
RT/57225/MF/160 is a roundline double-acting pneumatic cylinder designed for precise linear motion in automation systems. Engineers and technicians often face tight spaces and variable cycle performance; this model delivers consistent stroke, repeatability, and straightforward integration. This design supports CE conformity and aligns with industry-standard safety practices, while buyers frequently consider IP ratings and SIL-capable configurations for risk assessment. With a compact 25 mm bore and a 160 mm stroke, it enables denser installations and faster line throughput, reducing commissioning time and total cost of ownership. This combination of form factor and reliability makes it suitable for packaging lines, pick-and-place cells, and general automation tasks.
Product Information
The 25 mm bore and 160 mm stroke define a compact pneumatic cylinder that fits within tight automation cells while delivering reliable linear reach. The small footprint supports higher actuator density on the line, enabling shorter cycle times and more efficient layouts. The 160 mm stroke provides ample travel for typical gripping and transfer tasks without sacrificing compactness. For machine builders, this translates to easier enclosure design and simplified integration with standard Norgren mounting patterns. Double-acting operation enables precise control of both extending and retracting strokes, eliminating the need for external springs and complex valve arrangements. This results in smoother motion profiles, reduced overshoot, and better repeatability for high-speed packaging and assembly lines. In practice, you can synchronize multiple cylinders to maintain consistent timing across the process, improving throughput without increasing control complexity. Maintenance is simplified because the actuation method is symmetric and predictable, reducing calibration time during commissioning. Roundline construction provides robust rod guidance and consistent alignment under frequent cycling. The cylinder's design supports straightforward installation with standard accessories and mounting hardware, cutting retrofit time and supplier dependencies. Operators appreciate the predictable wear pattern that comes with a compact cylinder, leading to longer service intervals and lower total cost of ownership. This type of piston actuator also benefits from easy replacement of seals and end-caps, minimizing downtime during scheduled maintenance. Compatibility and installation advantages extend to system integration: the 25 mm bore and 160 mm stroke align with common feeder, gripper, and sensor arrangements, reducing layout changes. The cylinder is designed to work with typical compressed air supply levels found in industrial plants, delivering consistent force without power spikes. By selecting a Norgren Roundline solution, engineers gain access to a broad ecosystem of control valves, actuators, and air preparation components that optimize performance. In high-mix environments, the predictable behavior of this cylinder supports stable automation sequences and easier troubleshooting. From a reliability standpoint, the cylinder's seals and mechanical interface are chosen for durability in harsh manufacturing environments, sustaining performance across long production runs. Operators can plan preventive maintenance around standard intervals, reducing unexpected downtime and sparing capital for spare parts. The combination of compact size, robust actuation, and a broad manufacturer support network helps deliver a strong ROI through reduced cycle times, lower energy consumption, and easier capital budgeting.

FAQs
RT/57225/MF/160 uses the standard Roundline mounting interface common to Norgren roundline cylinders, designed for quick alignment with existing grippers, actuators, and controls. Port sizes follow typical pneumatic conventions for 25 mm bore cylinders, enabling straightforward hose connections and minimal leakage risk. When planning a retrofit, verify your existing fixture compatibility and ensure your valve block matches the cylinder's porting arrangement for seamless integration.
The cylinder has a 25 mm bore and a 160 mm stroke, and it operates as a double-acting actuator. This configuration allows controlled extension and retraction driven by pressure on opposite sides of the piston, enabling precise positioning without external springs. The dual-acting design supports high repeatability in rapid cycles, making it suitable for precise pick-and-place and clamping tasks in automated lines.
Yes, the 25 mm bore and 160 mm stroke provide a compact yet adequate travel range for gripping and transfer tasks in packaging lines. The double-acting actuation ensures consistent forward and return motion, while the Roundline form factor enables tight spacing between actuators. For best results, pair this cylinder with a compatible Norgren control valve and air preparation components to optimize response time and minimize fluctuations in competing cycles.
CE conformity is typically pursued for European integrations, with IP ratings and SIL-capable configurations evaluated per application. While this model’s compact design supports robust installation in many industrial environments, verify the exact CE declaration, IP rating, and safety certifications with the supplier for your specific duty cycle and ingress exposure. If your risk assessment requires higher protections, consult Norgren for variant options that match your environmental requirements.
A Roundline cylinder is designed for durable operation in continuous production environments. Expect longer service intervals with proper filtration and regular inspection of seals and end caps. By selecting a reliable, OEM-backed actuator, you can reduce unexpected downtime, simplify spares planning, and achieve a favorable return on investment through improved line uptime and consistent cycle performance.
