Feature → Business Impact → Application: The RT/57263/M/100 uses a 63 mm bore and 100 mm stroke, delivering up to 1870 N of theoretical force at operating pressures of 1–10 bar. This provides strong actuation for pick-and-place and clamping tasks while maintaining compact dimensions, reducing machine footprint and enabling tighter cell layouts. In practice, this means higher cycle rates and improved throughput on packaging lines without sacrificing precision. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Stainless steel (austenitic) barrel and martensitic piston rod resist corrosion in humid or washdown environments, extending service life and reducing maintenance costs in food processing, automotive assembly, and lab automation. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Magnetic piston enables full compatibility with sensor-based control and position feedback, improving repeatability and simplifying integration with PLCs and safety interlocks in industrial automation. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Buffer cushioning provides controlled deceleration and reduced impact at the end of stroke, minimizing mechanical wear and vibration in CNC pick-and-place and feeder systems. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Rc1/4 porting and a broad mounting ecosystem (AK, UF, Nut styles, foot mounting) deliver flexible installation and fast retrofits in retrofit projects and OEM lines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Roundline’s compact packaging saves space by 20% relative to basic ISO/VDMA lengths, enabling denser linear actuation arrays in robotic cells and material-handling units. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Stainless and ceramic-free seals reduce leakage and extend service life, delivering lower total cost of ownership for constant-cycle automation. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Optional Switches (M/50 LSU) and mounting brackets (QM series) support plug-and-play sensing and alignment with modern factory automation architectures, reducing integration time and risk. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The cylinder’s weight (1.33 kg) and dimensions (Height 65.5 mm, Length 228 mm, Width 65.5 mm) support straightforward retrofits in existing equipment without extensive retooling, minimizing downtime during upgrades.

FAQs
The RT/57263/M/100 supports multiple mounting options from the QM family and standard feet, including AK - Piston Rod Swivel (QM/8050/38), UF - Universal Piston Rod Mounting (QM/8050/32), Nut style N2 (M/P1501/91), C-foot (QM/57063/21), Clevis mounting (QM/57063/25), and H-trunnion (QM/55250/28). This flexibility enables rapid alignment with actuators, sensors, and end-effectors, reducing commissioning time and enabling robust field retrofits in existing lines.
The cylinder has a theoretical force rating of 1870 N. Actual force depends on supply pressure within the 1–10 bar range. At higher pressures, the force increases up to the rating shown on the datasheet, while lower pressures reduce thrust. For precise load matching, calculate F = P × A with P in MPa and A for a 63 mm bore, then compare to the 1870 N specification to select the operating point.
The Roundline cylinder is designed for industrial automation with corrosion-resistant stainless components and magnetic actuation, supporting common global certifications. While CE compliance and IP-related considerations apply to the overall system and interfaces, confirm the specific configuration and any end-cap or mounting accessory ratings with the supplier datasheet and your regulatory team to ensure alignment with your facility’s standards.
Operating temperature is -10 to 80 °C with a working pressure of 1–10 bar and Rc1/4 porting. Maintenance benefits come from low-friction, long-life seals and a buffer cushioning system that reduces wear. To maximize uptime, pair with corrosion-resistant materials, schedule periodic inspection of the magnetic piston and seals, and use approved fittings and mounts to maintain alignment and prevent leaks.
The cylinder’s 20% footprint reduction compared with longer ISO lengths enables denser robot cells and smaller housings, improving overall equipment efficiency. Its stainless steel internals reduce corrosion-related downtime and extend service life, while magnetic sensing and modular mounting simplify integration with PLCs and sensors, lowering installation time and spare parts costs for OEMs and maintenance teams.
