IMI Norgren RT/57316/MC/10 Roundline Cylinder - Magnetic
Part Number: RT/57316/MC/10
Quick Summary
IMI Norgren RT/57316/MC/10 Roundline cylinder is a compact single-acting pneumatic actuator designed for precise linear motion in tight automation spaces. When mounting area is constrained, the 16 mm diameter and 10 mm stroke deliver reliable travel without sacrificing performance. This design saves up to 20% of space compared with basic ISO/VDMA cylinders, enabling denser actuator layouts and simpler cabinet integration. For safety and compliance, plan for CE considerations and SIL/IP requirements as part of your machine architecture. In addition to space efficiency, you gain durability from stainless steel barrel and rod, plus sensor-ready magnetic piston for straightforward integration with control systems, reducing maintenance and total cost of ownership.

FAQs
For installation, ensure a rigid mounting surface and compatible brackets for the Roundline profile. Use the M5 port fittings supplied with standard pneumatic tubing, and verify alignment to prevent side loads. The integrated magnetic piston supports sensor integration, so plan for proximity or reed switches and PLC input connections to capture stroke position without extra sensors.
The 16 mm cylinder diameter with a 10 mm stroke provides a compact actuator footprint while delivering up to 84.5 N of theoretical force. This combination supports small grippers and lightweight actuations in dense layouts, enabling higher actuator density and faster cycle times in packaging and assembly applications.
Yes. The cylinder uses a standard M5 port size, allowing easy connection to common pneumatic manifolds and hoses. Its magnetic piston is designed for straightforward sensor integration, enabling direct feedback to a control system without auxiliary hardware, which reduces wiring complexity and installation time.
In most automation environments, confirm CE compliance and assess SIL safety and IP protection requirements as they apply to your machine. While this model is designed for rugged industrial use with stainless steel components, always consult the official datasheet for exact regulatory ratings and ensure your installation aligns with your factory’s safety and energy standards.
Expect reduced footprint and higher actuator density, which can lower cabinet size and wiring costs. The stainless steel construction and buffer cushioning extend service life, reducing maintenance and replacement intervals. Sensor-ready magnetic actuation simplifies integration, lowering installation time and enabling predictive maintenance through better diagnostic data.
