Aventics Rodless Cylinder RTC Series

Rodless cylinders, RTC series - advantages at a glance
-The oval piston enables higher loads and torques, and highly compact designs
-Minimal leakage and a wide range of speeds thanks to a special internal sealing strip and grease
-One-piece slide and piston increase stability
-The product range: one basis, three variants

The rodless cylinders offer optimized stroke length in a compact size. This saves space and facilitates machine design. The range of applications extends from piston diameters of 16 mm up to 80 mm and stroke lengths up to 9,900 mm. The cylinders feature extreme repeatability and cover a large speed range from 0.01 m/s to >20 m/s.

The comprehensive range with many variants and options enables configurations that are individually tailored to the application.

RTC-BV – Basic Version
Internal guiding thanks to a unique oval piston design. Typical application areas include: material flow, door openers, cutting and drive processes.

RTC-CG – Compact Guide
Compact precision guiding. Typical application areas: medium loads in settings with limited space.


RTC-HD – Heavy Duty
High-precision guiding for heavy loads. Typical application areas: as a base axis for handling applications, very high load capacity.

High-power OVALDRIVE
An oval piston design permits unusually high load and torque absorption, as well as ultra-compact machine designs.

High load capacity and rigidity
The wide slot offers optimized belt return and smoother running
Lateral torques are absorbed by the piston
For compact machine designs
Performance

High-tech grease and specific sealing material for smoother running and extended service life, coupled with decreased wear.

Compatible with a large speed range from 0.01 m/s up to >20 m/s
Can be used in a wide temperature range
Minimum leakage and high energy efficiency
Cushioning pins on the pistons and enlarged air ducts in the profile covers enable high speeds and ideal pneumatic cushioning
Reliability and long service life

Wear-free magnetically attached exterior strip, scraper, and sealing strip protect the cylinder from exterior effects, make it dust and dirt resistant, and increase its service life.

Scraper and cover strip made of stainless steel provide optimal dust protection
Piston and slide in a single unit increase the rigidity and decrease machine downtimes
Special sealing strip (steel wire reinforced polyurethane): extremely stable material prevents expansions that would interfere with the function
