Feature → Business Impact → Application: The RT/57240/MF/250 employs a 40 mm bore with a 250 mm stroke, delivering a compact footprint that frees space on crowded automation benches while enabling extended reach in a single actuator. This translates to measurable improvements in cycle density and reduced machine footprint, especially in pick-and-place cells and packaging lines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Buffer cushioning provides controlled deceleration at end of travel, reducing mechanical stress and wear on seals and guides. This lowers maintenance needs and extends service intervals in high-cycle applications such as robotics grippers and material handling. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Standard magnetic piston enables reliable position sensing and easier integration with PLCs and sensors, enhancing control-system versatility and enabling safer interlocks in automated assembly. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Stainless steel barrel and piston rod (austenitic/martensitic steels) offer corrosion resistance and durability for longer life in industrial environments, supporting washdown-friendly or moisture-prone operations with confidence. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The rounded Roundline design and double crimped end caps deliver high strength and reduced leakage potential, supporting consistent force delivery in repetitive cycles across robotics end-effectors and clamp systems. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Operating range of -10 to 80 °C and 1 to 10 bar makes this cylinder compatible with typical factory air systems and temperature variations found in automation cells, reducing the need for special environmental conditioning in many standard applications. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Rc1/8 port size aligns with common pneumatic fittings, simplifying installation, reducing time-to-drift, and easing retrofit projects in existing lines. Theoretical force of 754 N ensures reliable actuation for medium-load tasks without oversized cylinders, improving energy efficiency and control responsiveness in conveyors and pick-and-place operations.

FAQs

This cylinder uses Rc1/8 ports, aligning with standard pneumatic fittings. Its Roundline design supports conventional mounting patterns, simplifying retrofits and new installations in compact automation cells.
Operating pressure ranges from 1 to 10 bar (15 to 145 psi), and operating temperature spans -10 to 80 °C (14 to 176 °F), enabling reliable performance across typical factory air systems and ambient conditions.
The unit uses stainless steel barrel and piston rod, offering improved corrosion resistance. While not explicitly rated for washdown, the material selection supports durability in humid or mildly aggressive environments; confirm project-specific hygiene or splash protection requirements with the datasheet.
Check the datasheet for exact certification scope. Industrial pneumatic actuators commonly reference CE conformance and applicable IP or SIL considerations; verify which certifications are required for your application and region.
Buffer cushioning reduces end-of-stroke impact, lowering wear and maintenance frequency. Magnetic pistons enable straightforward sensing and control integration, while high-strength end caps and stainless components contribute to longer service life and reduced replacement costs in automated lines.
