IMI Norgren RT/57232/MC/125 Roundline Cylinder - Magnetic
Part Number: RT/57232/MC/125
Quick Summary
Roundline cylinder RT/57232/MC/125 delivers precise linear actuation for compact automation applications. This 32 mm bore, 125 mm stroke actuator is designed to fit tight spaces without compromising stroke performance. In practice, engineers face challenges with space, cycle times, and sensor integration on crowded production lines. By combining a standard magnetic piston with buffer cushioning and high-strength end caps, the unit offers reliable position feedback, smooth operation, and longer seal life, even in demanding environments. While safety and compliance considerations vary by region, this product aligns with common CE expectations and supports integration into IP-rated control systems when paired with proper housings. This makes it a solid choice for efficient, scalable pneumatics in manufacturing.

FAQs
For installation, ensure the Rc1/8 port alignment matches your air supply fittings and that mounting is compatible with roundline end caps and standard ISO/VDMA mounting patterns. Verify that the control system can read magnetic piston position signals and accommodate the 125 mm stroke without interference from nearby components. Use appropriate seals and guards to protect the piston rod in harsh environments.
Key specs include a 32 mm bore, 125 mm stroke, Rc1/8 port size, operating pressure range of 1 to 10 bar, operating temperature of -10 to 80 °C, double acting operation, buffer cushioning, magnetic piston, and a theoretical force of 482 N. Materials are stainless steel for both the barrel and piston rod, delivering durable performance in demanding lines.
This cylinder suits compact automation cells, pick-and-place modules, and tooling stations where space is limited but actuation needs are moderate. The magnetic piston supports easy sensor integration, while buffer cushioning reduces impact on mechanical stops. It’s well-suited for conveyor stops, clamping mechanisms, and short-stroke automation tasks on packaging and assembly lines.
The RT/57232/MC/125 is designed for typical industrial CE compliance and is compatible with IP-rated environments when used with appropriate housings and protective enclosures. The stainless steel construction and magnetic piston support reliable, safe operation in standard European and global manufacturing settings. Always verify your specific regional requirements with your supplier and in-system safety assessments.
Benefit from its low-friction seals and buffer cushioning by scheduling regular seal inspections and cleaning to remove dust from ports. Check the magnetic piston for consistent sensing signals and ensure end caps remain securely fastened. Use compatible lubricants per the manufacturer’s guidelines and replace worn components promptly to maintain consistent actuation force and repeatable performance over the cylinder’s life.
