Norgren RT/57340/MC/25 Pneumatic Cylinder - Magnetic Piston
Part Number: RT/57340/MC/25
Quick Summary
Norgren RT/57340/MC/25 Pneumatic cylinder provides precise linear actuation for compact automation lines. Engineers often wrestle with limited space and frequent maintenance downtime when selecting actuators for tight installations. In regulated environments, CE compliance, IP-rated protection, and SIL-safety considerations are critical, and this Roundline solution aligns with those standards. The 40 mm bore with 25 mm stroke, a magnetic piston, and stainless steel components deliver durable performance and space savings that reduce total cost of ownership. This configuration is well-suited for pick-and-place, clamping, and tooling actuation in constrained packaging and assembly lines, helping you optimize footprint without sacrificing reliability.

FAQs
Begin by mounting the 40 mm bore cylinder in a rigid, vibration-free frame and align the rod stroke with the end-effectors. Use Rc1/8 porting with standard fittings, ensure clean, dry compressed air within 2–10 bar, and verify magnetic piston alignment for reliable sensing. This setup minimizes misalignment risks and maximizes cycle life in space-constrained cells.
At 2–10 bar, the cylinder delivers a theoretical force of about 594 N, enabling smooth, repeatable actuation for light to moderate loads. The buffer cushioning reduces impact and vibration, supporting high-cycle applications. For best results, match load profile to stroke length and ensure ports are unobstructed to maintain consistent performance.
Yes. The 40 mm bore, 25 mm stroke, and single-acting design are well-suited for compact gripping and positioning tasks typical in packaging lines. The magnetic piston supports easy integration with sensors, while stainless steel components resist wear in wash-down environments, delivering reliable, long-term operation in high-demand settings.
In regulated industrial environments, look for CE compliance and applicable IP ratings, along with SIL-compatible control options where safety interlocks are critical. While the datasheet confirms key mechanical specs and materials, verify with your procurement team or the datasheet download to confirm the exact certification scope for your installation.
The combination of space savings, durable stainless steel construction, buffer cushioning, and a magnetic piston reduces downtime and maintenance frequency. Shorter installation times and compatibility with standard pneumatic systems contribute to lower upfront costs and a reduced TCO over the cylinder’s lifecycle in high-throughput lines.
