The RT/57240/JM/50 Roundline Cylinder features a 40 mm bore and a 50 mm stroke to maximize stroke efficiency within a compact footprint, reducing machine footprint and enabling tighter process zones. This space-saving design directly boosts line density and reduces overall system cost by requiring smaller enclosures and simpler mounting. Low-friction, long-life seals minimize maintenance intervals, delivering higher uptime and lower total cost of ownership in continuous operation environments. The double-acting operation with buffer cushioning provides smooth deceleration at the end of stroke, protecting downstream components and extending lifecycle in high-cycle tasks such as pick-and-place and material handling. A standard magnetic piston enables straightforward position sensing and control integration, improving automation reliability without adding complexity. Stainless steel barrel and piston rod offer corrosion resistance for challenging air or washdown environments, while Rc1/8 port sizing ensures compatibility with common pneumatic manifolds and quick-connect fittings. The unit’s operating range of -10 to 80 °C and 1 to 10 bar supports versatile use across manufacturing cells, packaging lines, and robotics-assisted tasks. These features collectively translate to measurable gains in throughput, repeatability, and predictable maintenance needs, addressing common objections about performance versus footprint and cost of ownership.

FAQs
This cylinder fits standard pneumatic manifolds with Rc1/8 ports and benefits from a compact 40 mm bore and 50 mm stroke, allowing tight mounting tolerances. Plan mounting brackets that accommodate the Roundline profile and ensure clear stroke path. Verify alignment with the piston rod and secure end caps to avoid mispositioning during high-cycle operation. If sensing is required, leverage the standard magnetic piston for straightforward sensor integration.
The double-acting design supports bidirectional actuation with precise repeatability, while buffer cushioning reduces impact at the end of stroke, protecting grippers and fixtures. The stainless steel barrel and rod offer durability in repetitive cycles, and the magnetic piston enables reliable position feedback for accurate end-of-stroke control, resulting in lower defect rates and higher overall throughput.
The provided data does not specify formal certifications. For compliance and environmental ratings such as CE marking or IP protection, confirm directly with Norgren or your distributor, especially for applications with washdown or dust exposure. In many industrial settings, customers request CE conformity and IP-rated components as part of their supplier qualification process.
Schedule routine lubrication per system guidelines and inspect port connections to prevent leaks. Leverage buffer cushioning to mitigate shock loads that can wear end caps. Regularly verify magnet sensor alignment and test feedback signals. With the stainless steel barrel and rod, avoid corrosive cleaners that can degrade seals, and keep the cylinder clean from contaminants that may impair performance.
Expect higher uptime due to reduced maintenance and fewer leaks from robust seals, plus improved cycle accuracy from magnetic sensing. The compact footprint lowers overall machine footprint and enclosure costs, while stainless steel construction extends service life in challenging environments. These factors collectively reduce downtime costs and increase production throughput in automation lines.
