Norgren RT/57232/M/160 Roundline Cylinder - 160 mm stroke
Part Number: RT/57232/M/160
Quick Summary
Norgren RT/57232/M/160 Roundline double acting cylinder provides compact, high-precision actuation for automated pick-and-place tasks. In space-constrained lines, traditional cylinders often force compromises on throughput; this model’s compact form eases integration and delivers repeatable positioning. It supports CE-compliant assemblies and integrates smoothly with magnetic sensing for reliable feedback, with stainless steel barrel and piston rod to resist wear. With a 32 mm bore and 160 mm stroke and a robust 1–10 bar operating range, it reduces footprint while delivering consistent force and fast cycling. Designed for industrial automation, it pairs with standard push-in fittings and multiple mounting options to streamline installation and maintenance.

FAQs
This model supports several popular mounting configurations: nose nut style N (M/P13615), UF universal mounting (QM/8025/32), foot mounting (M/P19406 for 32 mm bore), and swivel/clevis options (QM/8025/38, QM/57032/25). For installation, choose the mounting that aligns with your fixture and ensure correct alignment with the 32 mm bore. Adapters and brackets from the Mountings group are designed to simplify alignment and secure fasteners, reducing setup time on new builds and retrofits.
The cylinder provides a theoretical force of 482 N at the nominal bore and stroke. It operates over a pressure range of 1 to 10 bar (15 to 145 psi) and is designed for ambient temperatures from −10 to 80 °C. The port size is Rc1/8, compatible with standard pneumatic fittings. These specs support consistent actuation in typical industrial cycles while allowing safe operation across common automation environments.
Yes. The Roundline design, combined with buffer cushioning and magnetic piston, supports smooth deceleration and precise positioning, reducing cycle time variability and wear on end-of-line fixtures. The 32 mm bore and 160 mm stroke deliver a compact yet robust actuation, while the 1–10 bar operating range provides flexibility for different packaging speeds and payloads.
The cylinder is designed to integrate into CE-compliant assemblies and supports standard sensing and control interfaces via its magnetic piston. While specific IP or SIL ratings are not listed in the provided data, the product’s stainless steel construction and robust seals are aligned with common industrial requirements for durability and reliability in automated systems.
Key benefits include low-friction long-life seals and a hardened stainless steel barrel with a martensitic piston rod, contributing to extended service life in demanding environments. Buffer cushioning reduces impact, preserving fixture integrity and reducing vibration. The available fittings and mounting options simplify field servicing and future expansion, supporting a lower total cost of ownership over the device lifecycle.
