Norgren RT/57232/MF/250 Pneumatic Cylinder - Roundline
Part Number: RT/57232/MF/250
Quick Summary
Norgren RT/57232/MF/250 is a roundline double-acting pneumatic cylinder designed for compact, precise linear actuation in automation and packaging lines. When space is at a premium, traditional ISO-length cylinders can constrain layout and throughput; this model saves 20% space over the basic ISO/VDMA length, enabling denser actuation arrays without sacrificing performance. The design supports common safety and control architectures, with a magnetic piston facilitating easy sensor integration and compatibility with safety interlocks. This combination delivers reliable, scalable actuation for high-volume manufacturing while minimizing installation footprint and total cost of ownership. For engineers seeking robust, low-maintenance pneumatics in demanding environments, RT/57232/MF/250 offers tangible business value alongside technical precision.

FAQs
This model features a 32 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, and Rc1/8 port suitable for standard pneumatic manifolds and ISO/VDMA mounting patterns. For installation, align the cylinder with the access points on the machine frame, securely fasten using appropriate mounting brackets, connect the Rc1/8 air supply, and verify the magnetic piston alignment and sensor wiring. Ensure the operating pressure remains within 1–10 bar and that the working temperature is within -10 to 80 °C to achieve optimal performance and longevity.
The RT/57232/MF/250 provides a theoretical force of 482 N. It operates at 1–10 bar (15–145 psi) and is designed for use with compressed air as the medium. The device tolerates temperatures from -10 to 80 °C. With buffer cushioning and a double-acting design, it delivers consistent actuation across cycles while protecting the mechanism from impact-related wear.
Best suited for space-constrained automation tasks such as pick-and-place, end-of-line packaging, and tooling actuation in automated cells. The 32 mm bore and 250 mm stroke offer a balance between force and travel, enabling precise positioning in tight spaces. The magnetic piston facilitates sensor feedback for closed-loop control, improving repeatability in production lines.
Certification details should be verified on the datasheet and with the supplier for your region. The cylinder includes a magnetic piston for easy integration with sensing and safety interlocks. In practice, system designers align these components with typical industry standards such as CE marking and IP-rated environments, and assess SIL readiness as part of the overall control architecture. Always confirm specific certification coverage for your installation.
The unit uses low-friction, long-life seals and a stainless steel barrel and rod, reducing wear and maintenance frequency. Buffer cushioning minimizes impact damage, extending seal and guide life. The 20% space saving increases throughput by allowing more actuators per footprint, enhancing overall line productivity. These factors contribute to lower downtime and a favorable total cost of ownership over the cylinder's life.
