Ideal for powerful applications in tight installation conditions, the new RTC series of rodless cylinders from Rexroth are available in four versions, providing the right solution for every demand – all in a modern design.
(Lexington, KY – www.boschrexroth-us.com) The RTC rodless cylinder (Rodless Thrust Cylinder) from Bosch Rexroth features high load capacity and space-saving design.
Designed for high precision, compact dimensions, high performance, or cost-effectiveness - the cylinders in the RTC series are available in four versions. The basic version RTC-BV (
B
asic
V
ersion) is suitable for universal use, while the RTC-CG (
C
ompact
G
uide) version offers high precision packed into compact dimensions. The RTC-EG (
E
-line
G
uide) represents the most cost-effective guided version of the new rodless cylinders. The RTC-HD (
H
eavy
D
uty) version is designed for handling heavy loads.
The RTC series is available in diameters of 16-80 mm (5/8”-3”) and with a maximum stroke length of 9,900 mm (32.5 ft.), depending on version and size, and is available with ISO-G or NPT ports. To determine the right cylinder for every application, a configurator, a calculation program and CAD data are available online from Bosch Rexroth’s website at www.boschrexroth-us.com/pneumatics.
The RTC cylinders are equipped with an oval-shaped piston instead of a round piston, giving them excellent load capacity and high moment capacity. In the RTC series, the slide and piston are constructed as a single unit–allowing the slide to move maximum loads even on smaller cylinders. The RTC also features a modern, uniform design with rounded profile edges to minimize material consumption.
The guided cylinders come with a Rexroth Easy-2-Combine standardized interface making the RTC easy to combine with other Rexroth components using the same interface to form multi-axis systems, saving users both time and money.
