Quick Summary

The Norgren RT/57240/MC/10 Roundline cylinder is a compact, double-acting pneumatic actuator designed for precise linear motion in automation and pick-and-place applications. In space-constrained cells, bulky actuators can throttle cycle times and throughput, making footprint a critical constraint; this model delivers a 20% space reduction versus the basic ISO/VDMA length, enabling higher line density and faster deployments. While the data does not list formal certifications, Norgren designs typically align with CE marking and robust, industry-standard practices for pneumatic components, supporting regulatory and quality expectations in modern factories. By combining a magnetic piston with a stainless steel barrel and buffer cushioning, it delivers reliable actuation with lower wear and maintenance, and the 40 mm diameter with Rc1/8 port supports straightforward integration into existing systems.

FAQs

The RT/57240/MC/10 uses Rc1/8 porting and a 40 mm diameter bore with a 10 mm stroke. It follows standard Roundline mounting interfaces, enabling straightforward installation alongside existing fixtures and brackets.
The Roundline cylinder saves approximately 20% of space compared with a basic ISO/VDMA length. This higher line density reduces footprint, increases actuator density on your assembly cells, and can shorten wiring runs and cabinet space requirements.
Yes. The cylinder operates from -10 to 80 °C and supports 1 to 10 bar (15 to 145 psi). This broad range supports use in harsh factory environments while maintaining consistent performance.
A magnetic piston provides readily detectable piston position feedback for PLCs and safety circuits, simplifying the integration of sensors and enabling closed-loop control for higher precision and repeatability on automated lines.
Low-friction, long-life seals reduce wear, while buffer cushioning minimizes impact loads on end caps and fixtures. Stainless steel barrel and piston rod resist corrosion, enhancing durability in harsh environments and extending maintenance intervals.
