Norgren RT/57240/MC/200 Roundline Cylinder - 20% Space Saving
Part Number: RT/57240/MC/200
Quick Summary
The Norgren RT/57240/MC/200 Roundline Cylinder provides compact, reliable linear actuation for automated packaging and machine tending. Space constraints and longer ISO-length cylinders can slow throughput and complicate installation. Typical certifications to verify include CE compliance, IP ratings, and SIL safety integration; confirm with your supplier. In practice, this model delivers a 20% footprint reduction and magnetic piston for seamless control integration, boosting line efficiency. Designed for high endurance, it uses low-friction seals and corrosion-resistant stainless steel components to extend service intervals. And with a 40 mm bore and 200 mm stroke, it delivers stable, repeatable travel for synchronized pick-and-place and material handling.

FAQs
The RT/57240/MC/200 Roundline cylinder uses standard roundline mounting compatible with common double-acting cylinder fixtures. Ensure end caps and mounting tabs align with your machine frame, verify bore alignment and stroke clearance, and select compatible mounting accessories (feet, clevis, or flange mounts) to maintain precise guidance and repeatability.
Theoretical force is specified at 754 N, dependent on supply pressure and temperature. Real-world force varies with stroke position, cushioning setup, and friction in the guide rails. For high-speed cycles, ensure consistent air supply and adjust cushioning to balance impact with return speed.
Yes, when paired with proper cushioning and stable air supply. The 40 mm bore with buffer cushioning minimizes shock while the magnetic piston supports reliable sensing and control integration. For high-speed lines, verify air pressure stability and ensure the stroke length aligns with cycle timing to maintain repeatable placement accuracy.
Key certifications to verify typically include CE compliance for European markets, and appropriate IP ratings for dust and water ingress. SIL safety integration is also important for safety-critical applications. Always request supplier documentation to confirm the exact certifications applicable to your region and use case.
The cylinder uses low-friction seals and stainless steel components, extending service intervals in challenging environments. Magnetic piston simplifies signal feedback and reduces wiring complexity. Regular checks of cushion settings and air cleanliness maintain performance, while the robust end-cap design helps resist wear on high-cycle applications.
