Space-saving geometry and a 40 mm bore translate to a 20% shorter basic length than a standard ISO/VDMA cylinder, enabling denser layouts and easier integration into conveyors and pick-and-place cells. This directly reduces machine footprint and enables more flexible cabinet layouts, improving line throughput. Low friction, long-life seals minimize wear and leakage in high-cycle use, delivering lower maintenance costs and extended intervals between service events. The magnetic piston and standard switch compatibility enhance control versatility and diagnostics, while the M/50/LSU/5V reed switch option enables safe, remote sensing with minimal wiring. Stainless steel barrel and piston rod provide robust corrosion resistance for challenging environments, supporting reliable operation from -10 to 80 °C and 1 to 10 bar. A variety of mounting options (AK swivel, nose nut, clevis, foot, universal rod) and buffer cushioning reduce setup time and impact loads, enabling quick, repeatable positioning on packaging, material handling, and assembly lines. The Roundline design is known for smooth, repeatable motion and easy integration with existing control systems, delivering predictable performance and lower total cost of ownership.

FAQs
RT/57240/M/50 supports multiple mounting configurations to fit 40 mm bore systems, including AK - Piston Rod Swivel Mounting, Nose Nut style N, Piston Rod Clevis Mounting (F), Foot mounting style C, Nut Style N, and UF - Universal Piston Rod Mounting. For installation, select the mount that aligns with your actuator stroke, stroke length, and load direction, then secure with the appropriate fasteners. These options simplify alignment and reduce setup time in line integrations.
Key specs: 40 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, Rc1/8 port, double-acting operation, buffer cushioning, magnetic piston, theoretical force 754 N, weight 0.73 kg, operating temperature -10 to 80 °C, operating pressure 1 to 10 bar, barrel material stainless steel (austenitic), piston rod stainless steel (martensitic). These figures guide cycle design, speed, and load calculations in automation tasks.
Yes, the RT/57240/M/50 is well-suited for high-cycle packaging due to its low-friction seals, buffer cushioning, and stainless-steel construction that withstands repetitive motion and exposure to contaminants. The magnetic piston enables easy integration with sensing and control systems, while compact geometry supports dense packing lines. The design minimizes downtime and maintenance while maintaining repeatability under demanding cycle rates.
In regulated environments, plan for standard compliance considerations such as CE marking where applicable, and assess integration with IP-rated enclosures and SIL safety systems in line with your plant requirements. While the product data does not specify certifications, ensuring compatibility with these standards is critical for safe, compliant automation deployments.
The ROI is driven by space savings (about 20% shorter length vs. ISO/VDMA references), reduced downtime from long-life, low-friction seals, and buffer cushioning that lowers impact wear. Magnetic switching options (M/50/LSU/5V) enable simpler diagnostics and wiring. Combined, these factors shorten project lead times, improve line uptime, and lower total cost of ownership in packaging, material handling, and assembly automation.
