Quick Summary

The Norgren RT/57340/MC/50 Roundline cylinder enables compact single-acting pneumatic actuation for automation tasks in space-constrained environments, delivering roughly a 20% footprint reduction versus standard ISO cylinders. Engineers often struggle with limited control versatility and crowded layouts when integrating ISO/VDMA cylinders, which can extend installation time and complicate sensor integration. Certification details are not listed in the provided data; consult the datasheet for CE, IP, or SIL ratings and other regulatory guidance. The design leverages a magnetic piston and corrosion-resistant stainless steel components to support reliable sensing and long service life. This combination helps reduce downtime and total cost of ownership while enabling seamless integration with sensor-based control systems for higher reliability in modern production lines.

FAQs

This cylinder uses Rc1/8 porting and a 40 mm bore with a 50 mm stroke, suitable for standard compressed air systems (2–10 bar). The stainless steel barrel and piston rod provide corrosion resistance, while the magnetic piston supports easy sensor integration and position feedback in PLC-controlled lines.
Key specs include 40 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, 594 N theoretical force, single-acting operation, buffer cushioning, and a temperature range of -10 to 80 °C. Port size Rc1/8 and operating pressure 2–10 bar ensure compatibility with common factory air systems.
Yes. The Roundline design reduces footprint by about 20% compared with longer ISO cylinders, while delivering reliable single-acting actuation, solid sealing, and easy magnetic sensing—well-suited for compact pick-and-place and clamping tasks.
Certification details are not listed in the provided data. Refer to the datasheet linked in the downloads for CE, IP, SIL, and other regulatory information, and confirm with your compliance team prior to deployment.
Rugged stainless steel components, low-friction seals, and buffer cushioning support longer service life and smoother operation. Regular inspection of piston seals and ports, plus sensor alignment checks, will help maintain consistent performance in high-cycle environments.
