Roundline’s compact design reduces overall machine length by about 20% compared with a standard ISO cylinder, enabling tighter mounting and denser automation cells. This translates to higher line throughput, easier changeovers, and lower capital cost per axis on packaging, assembly, and material-handling lines. The space-saving geometry also simplifies enclosure and field wiring, making retrofits quicker and less disruptive. With a 40 mm bore and 80 mm stroke, the RT/57240/M/80 delivers up to 754 N of theoretical force at rated pressures, while operating from 1 to 10 bar. The 20% space savings do not compromise stroke or response time, supporting fast, repeatable cycles in high-demand environments. Operators benefit from consistent actuation and reduced variance in end-of-stroke positioning. A standard magnetic piston enables full-sensing compatibility with minimal wiring, simplifying control system integration and improving positional reliability. This feature reduces system integration time for PLCs, sensors, and safe-stop interlocks across end-of-arm tooling and clamping applications. The magnetic option also enables easier retrofitting to existing lines with proximity sensors. Stainless steel barrel and piston rod provide robust corrosion resistance and longevity in challenging environments, including washdown or outdoor installations. The long-life seals and low-friction design contribute to lower maintenance costs and higher uptime on continuous-duty lines. The combination supports compliant operation in harsh industrial settings while maintaining precision. Buffer cushioning delivers controlled deceleration at the end of stroke, minimizing impact on tooling and workpieces. This improves cycle life for delicate components and reduces vibration transmission through automation assemblies in sorting and packaging lines. Cushioning also helps maintain repeatable positioning across varying loads and speeds. With Rc1/8 port size and multiple mounting options (nose nut, foot, and universal rod mounts), installation is straightforward, reducing retrofits and integration time. The RT/57240/M/80 is part of the Roundline family, offering a ready-made solution for compact pneumatic actuation with predictable performance. The design supports plug-and-play compatibility with standard Pneufit C fittings and generic air lines.

FAQs
RT/57240/M/80 uses Rc1/8 ports and standard 40 mm bore mounting patterns, including nose-nut and foot-mount options. For installation, align the cylinder with the existing mounting holes, fit compatible Pneufit C fittings, and connect to a regulated air supply within 1–10 bar. Use a magnetic piston with compatible sensors to achieve reliable position feedback. This approach minimizes retrofit risk and preserves consistent actuation across packaging and assembly lines.
The cylinder provides a theoretical force of 754 N at the rated 10 bar, with an operating pressure range of 1–10 bar. The 40 mm bore and 80 mm stroke support fast, repeatable cycles across typical loads. Expect consistent actuation and repeatable end positions across standard automation tasks such as clamping, picking, and placing, when air quality is maintained.
Yes, the stainless steel barrel and piston rod offer notable corrosion resistance suitable for washdown and challenging environments. For exposure to harsh conditions, verify the sealing configuration and, if required, select a version with appropriate protections. Combine with proper lubrication practices and regular inspection to sustain performance and longevity.
The RT/57240/M/80 is designed to align with European CE-related requirements for automated machinery. For additional certifications such as SIL or specific IP ratings, consult the latest Norgren datasheet and distributor guidance. Ensure your system wiring, sensors, and safety interlocks meet the applicable standards before deployment.
Maintenance benefits come from low-friction seals and a long-life end-cap design, reducing downtime and replacement costs. The 20% space saving improves line density, enabling more throughput with the same footprint and lowering capital costs per axis. Together, these factors contribute to a shorter payback period and steadier production schedules on high-cycle lines.
