Norgren RT/57240/M/100 Roundline Cylinder - Magnetic
Part Number: RT/57240/M/100
Quick Summary
Norgren RT/57240/M/100 Roundline cylinder provides compact double-acting pneumatic actuation for precise linear motion in tight automation setups. When space is at a premium, traditional cylinders can hamper cycle times and increase maintenance; this design reduces footprint while preserving stroke and force. CE-compliant design concepts are common for European OEMs, and IP-rated versions or SIL-integrated configurations depend on the installed control and environment—verify on the datasheet. The stainless steel barrel and magnetic piston deliver rugged durability and easy sensing, while standard Rc1/8 ports and broad mounting options streamline integration into existing lines, delivering business value through higher uptime and lower total cost of ownership.

The Roundline RT/57240/M/100 is engineered to save space without sacrificing performance, delivering a 40 mm bore and 100 mm stroke that fit tight machine footprints. This compact form reduces machine footprint and enables denser automation layouts, boosting throughput in high-cycle applications and lowering installation costs. The stainless steel barrel and martensitic piston rod resist corrosion and wear, extending service life and reducing maintenance cycles in demanding environments. With a magnetic piston, integration with reed switches and position sensing is straightforward, enabling reliable closed-loop control and easier diagnostics in automated cells. Buffer cushioning minimizes impact at end-stroke, protecting precision components and extending actuator life across repetitive cycles. The Rc1/8 port size standardizes fittings and simplifies plumbing with Pneufit C components, while multiple mounting styles (nose nut, foot, and universal rod mounts) give installers flexibility and faster retrofit capability. Operating from 1 to 10 bar and -10 to 80 °C, it supports a wide range of industrial workflows, and the 754 N theoretical force provides predictable actuation for common pick-and-place and clamping tasks. Compatibility with 40 mm bore accessories and the Roundline family helps ensure consistent performance across line upgrades, delivering measurable gains in efficiency and reliability.

FAQs
This cylinder supports Rc1/8 ports and a variety of mounting styles including nose nut (N), foot mounting (C), and universal piston rod mounts. Its standard Pneufit C fittings compatibility and magnetic piston simplify sensor integration, reducing installation time and minimizing retrofitting risk on existing lines.
Operating temperature spans -10 to 80 °C with an operating pressure range of 1 to 10 bar (15 to 145 psi). This broad envelope enables reliable quick cycling in factory environments, while maintaining consistent force output (754 N) and stroke under demanding duty cycles.
Yes. The cylinder uses a magnetic piston for versatile sensing, compatible with integrated reed switches like M/50 LSU/5V, and supports standard switch mounting brackets. This enables precise position feedback and easier wiring in automated lines, boosting control accuracy and fault diagnostics.
Verify CE compliance as part of European installations and assess IP ratings and SIL applicability based on the safety integration in your system. Always consult the datasheet for mounting and enclosure specifics to ensure the unit meets your regulatory and safety requirements.
The combination of space savings, durable stainless steel construction, and low-friction seals reduces downtime and maintenance costs. The magnetic sensing and modular mounting options also simplify diagnostics and retrofits, contributing to faster line changeovers and improved overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).
