Norgren RT/57232/MC/320 Roundline Cylinder - Magnetic
Part Number: RT/57232/MC/320
Quick Summary
Norgren RT/57232/MC/320 Roundline cylinder provides precise pneumatic actuation for compact automation systems such as pick-and-place devices and clamping fixtures. Engineers often struggle with space constraints and stroke variability when replacing older ISO/VDMA cylinders in tight automation cells, which can throttle cycle times and throughput. Certifications such as CE, SIL, or IP ratings are not listed in the data; however, the cylinder integrates a stainless steel barrel and piston rod, buffer cushioning, and a magnetic piston to support long life, safe operation, and repeatable performance. This combination helps reduce downtime and maintenance costs while expanding compatibility with standard pneumatics and control systems, delivering tangible business value in demanding manufacturing environments.

FAQs
When installing the RT/57232/MC/320, ensure your supply is within the 1–10 bar range and that the Rc1/8 port matches your manifolds or fittings. Use compatible mounting accessories to secure the double-acting cylinder in alignment with the load path. The magnetic piston supports sensor feedback, so plan for a simple proximity switch or PLC input in the space adjacent to the rod end.
The cylinder operates from -10 to 80 °C and is rated for 1 to 10 bar (15 to 145 psi) air pressure. These ranges enable versatile use in typical factory environments. Always verify the specific cycle requirements and ensure the pneumatic supply remains clean and dry to protect seals and extend service life.
Yes. The design uses a stainless steel barrel and piston rod with buffer cushioning, which minimizes impact and wear on seals during high-frequency cycles. The 32 mm bore combined with a 320 mm stroke delivers dependable actuation for repetitive tasks such as transfer, clamping, or feeding within tight spaces, while the magnetic piston supports reliable sensor feedback.
The magnetic piston provides ready-made feedback capability that can be read by standard sensors and PLCs, enabling straightforward position sensing and safe interlocks. This reduces wiring complexity and setup time, improves repeatability, and enhances diagnostics on automated lines without requiring bespoke sensing solutions.
In modular lines, the 32 mm diameter and 320 mm stroke offer compactness while maintaining stroke performance, enabling up to 20% footprint reduction versus longer ISO/VDMA equivalents. Buffer cushioning minimizes downtime from shock loads, magnetic sensing improves control accuracy, and stainless steel components extend life in demanding environments, all contributing to higher uptime and lower maintenance costs.
