Norgren RT/57312/M/50 Roundline Cylinder - 20% Space Savings
Part Number: RT/57312/M/50
Quick Summary
Norgren RT/57312/M/50 Roundline single-acting cylinder delivers compact actuation for confined automation spaces. Designers and technicians face recurring challenges with limited bolting room, imperfect stroke control, and component wear. This actuator is built to align with CE safety expectations and supports SIL-based control strategies and IP-rated environments where needed. With a stainless steel barrel and piston rod, magnetic piston, and buffer cushioning, you gain long life, low maintenance, and repeatable positioning—ready for integration with standard pneumatic manifolds. Compact 12 mm bore and 50 mm stroke fit tight-line layouts, translating to higher cycle efficiency and lower system costs.

FAQs
Ensure mounting uses the Roundline pattern with compatible brackets and fixtures. Connect the M5 port to a clean, regulated compressed air supply within 2–10 bar. Verify alignment to prevent scuffing or binding and confirm electrical sensing if using the magnetic piston for position feedback.
The cylinder provides a theoretical force of 48.4 N and is designed for single-acting operation with buffer cushioning to minimize impact. Performance will depend on supply pressure and load; higher pressure yields faster actuation for light to moderate loads, while cushioning protects components at end-of-stroke.
Yes. It is designed for compact integration with standard mounting patterns, and the 12 mm bore with M5 port aligns with common pneumatic manifolds. Ensure the air supply is clean and regulated within 2–10 bar to preserve stroke consistency and seal life.
The Roundline series is typically designed to support CE safety expectations and SIL-compatible control strategies, with options to fit IP-rated environments where required. For your specific installation, verify supplier certificates and confirm that the chosen configuration complies with applicable local regulations.
The magnetic piston enables straightforward sensing and feedback without additional mounting hardware, reducing wiring complexity. Low-friction, long-life seals and buffer cushioning minimize wear and downtime, improving uptime and predictable maintenance intervals. Stainless steel components enhance corrosion resistance, lowering replacement costs in harsh environments.
