FAQs
The RT/57240/MF/50 uses standard Roundline mounting patterns common to 40 mm bore pneumatic cylinders. It supports typical end-caps and mounting feet used in compact automation layouts, enabling straightforward installation on conveyors and pick-and-place rigs. For exact pattern compatibility, refer to the datasheet and verify with your mounting brackets before integration.
Theoretical force is listed as 754 N. At the operating range of 1 to 10 bar, actual force scales with pressure and piston area, so you’ll see higher force toward the upper end of the range. For precise performance, consult the datasheet and confirm with your system’s pressure regulator settings during commissioning.
Yes, its compact 40 mm bore with a 50 mm stroke supports high-density layouts, while buffer cushioning reduces peak loads and wear. The magnetic piston enables easy position sensing, facilitating fast, reliable cycle control. Ensure your control system is tuned for the device’s response characteristics and the line’s cycle rate.
Operating temperature is -10 to 80 °C. In environments outside this range, performance and seal life can be affected. Use temperature-compensated controls and ensure lubrication and seals are rated for the expected temperature profile to maintain reliability and avoid accelerated wear.
The datasheet is available via the product page and includes full specifications, materials, porting details, and safety notes. It typically confirms installation guidelines, CE and IP considerations, and sensor compatibility. Always download and review the datasheet before procurement and integration to ensure compliance with your application requirements.
