FAQs
The RT/57240/MC/25 Roundline cylinder uses a standard 40 mm bore with a 25 mm stroke and Rc1/8 port, enabling common mounting styles used across automation frames. It supports compatible end caps and mounting brackets, facilitating easy integration into existing manifolds and fixture setups without lengthy rework. Verify your chosen rail or plate style for optimal alignment and seal life.
This cylinder is rated for 1 to 10 bar (15 to 145 psi) and operates between -10 and 80 °C (14 to 176 °F). These ranges support reliable performance in typical factory environments and provide an adequate envelope for most standard pneumatic tasks, including clamping, indexing, and positioning in moderate-temperature processes.
Yes. The cylinder is designed with a standard magnetic piston, enabling straightforward sensor feedback for position detection. This sensor-ready feature reduces wiring complexity and improves diagnostics, making it well-suited for control loops, PLCs, and automated sequencing in packaging lines, assembly cells, and material-handling equipment.
