FAQs
For installation, align the cylinder axis with the load path to prevent side loads, use a sturdy mounting base compatible with the M5 port, and ensure plumb sensor alignment for the magnetic piston. Verify panel cutouts and clearance to accommodate the 12 mm bore and 25 mm stroke, and use appropriate pneumatic fittings to maintain a clean, leak-free connection.
Key specs include a 12 mm cylinder diameter, 25 mm stroke, single-acting operation, M5 port, 2–10 bar operating pressure, -10 to 80 °C operating temperature, and compressed air as the medium. Theoretical force is 48.4 N, with buffer cushioning for controlled deceleration and stainless steel barrel and piston rod for durability.
The cylinder’s compact size and magnetic piston support reliable sensing and control, which are advantageous for precise positioning. Buffer cushioning helps manage impact at stop points, reducing wear and noise. However, maximum speed data isn’t specified here; for high-speed cycles, validate speed requirements against your specific tooling and consider consulting the datasheet for duty-cycle guidance.
Certifications such as CE conformity, IP ratings, and SIL capabilities can vary by region and model. The RT/57312/M/25 data here notes regional variation, so always consult the official datasheet or distributor documentation for exact compliance in your locale and for SIL-related configurations if required.
Maintenance benefits come from long-life seals and corrosion-resistant stainless steel components, plus buffer cushioning that reduces impact and wear. Combined with a 20% space saving versus larger ISO/VDMA cylinders and straightforward installation, this translates to lower downtime, easier servicing, and a lower total cost of ownership over the product lifecycle.
