IMI Norgren RT/57232/MC/25 Roundline Cylinder - Magnetic Piston
Part Number: RT/57232/MC/25
Quick Summary
RT/57232/MC/25 Roundline Cylinder is a compact pneumatic actuator delivering precise linear motion for automated assembly cells and pick-and-place tasks. Space constraints in modern automation lines drive demand for shorter, high-performance cylinders, and this model provides an efficient alternative to conventional ISO/VDMA sizes. Where safety and reliability matter, expectations include CE conformity and robust environmental performance; where applicable, SIL suitability and IP-rated options help align with machine safety and harsh-environment requirements. The combination of a magnetic piston, low-friction seals, and a stainless-steel shell supports consistent cycling, reduced maintenance, and predictable lifecycle costs—while remaining compatible with standard control and mounting schemes for quick integration.

Feature → Business Impact → Application: 32 mm bore with 25 mm stroke delivers 482 N theoretical force, enabling reliable actuation of compact actuators in tight spaces; the result is higher throughput and fewer repositioning cycles in small automation cells. This reduces cycle time variance and lowers overall equipment downtime when used in high-demand pick-and-place workflows. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Roundline design with buffer cushioning minimizes impact loads, extending seal life and reducing vibration transmission through the machinery, which translates to longer service intervals and quieter operation in packaging lines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Magnetic piston provides full system versatility for position sensing and control integration, enabling straightforward compatibility with existing sensors and control logic for precise feedback in automation tasks. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Stainless steel barrel and martensitic piston rod offer corrosion resistance and mechanical strength in damp or humid environments, supporting longer uptime in food-and-beverage and chemical processing lines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Rc1/8 port size and standard double-acting operation simplify installation with common fittings and control valves, delivering cost savings on accessories and faster commissioning across multiple stations. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 20% space savings over basic ISO/VDMA cylinder lengths reduces footprint in compact machinery and auxiliary tooling, enabling more efficient line layouts and easier retrofit of legacy equipment. Architecture-wise, this model aligns with industry best practices for reliability and maintainability, addressing common objections about long-term service costs by emphasizing low-friction seals and high-strength end caps. In practice, technicians report easier alignment and quicker diagnostics due to magnetic sensing and standardized dimensions, which supports smoother shift changes and reduced downtime across high-volume lines.

FAQs
This cylinder uses a Rc1/8 port and standard mounting patterns, enabling quick integration with common pneumatic valves and brackets. Verify bore alignment, choose compatible mounting feet, and ensure supply pressure stays within 1–10 bar while maintaining cleanliness to protect seals and extend life.
Key specs include a 32 mm bore, 25 mm stroke, 482 N theoretical force, double-acting operation, buffer cushioning, magnetic piston, stainless steel barrel, and stainless steel piston rod. Operating temperature range is -10 to 80 °C (14 to 176 °F) with Rc1/8 porting and a 1–10 bar pressure range.
Yes. The magnetic piston supports reliable sensing and control, while low-friction seals and a durable end-cap design help maintain performance under frequent cycling. The 20% space savings also enables more compact layouts, contributing to higher throughput in high-cycle environments.
Check the datasheet for CE conformity and, where required by your safety system, SIL suitability and IP protection details. Certification status depends on the specific variant and installation context; always verify the exact model configuration with the datasheet and supplier documentation.
The combination of a stainless steel barrel, long-life seals, and buffer cushioning reduces wear and downtime, lowering maintenance intervals. Space savings enable leaner line layouts, while compatibility with standard fittings lowers installation costs. Overall, expect lower downtime and predictable lifecycle costs in automation environments.
