FAQs
To install the 18-001-980, align the neck-mount bracket with the corresponding mounting face on the 07 Series component, secure with the appropriate fasteners to the specified torque, and verify alignment with adjacent modules. Ensure all connections are clean and that the bracket sits squarely to prevent misalignment during operation. This approach minimizes downtime and speeds commissioning.
Best suited for space-constrained automation panels, the 18-001-980 provides secure neck-mounted support for pneumatic valves, manifolds, and adjacent accessories. It is ideal for compact automation skids, tight-control cabinets, and lines where quick-access servicing and reliable alignment are critical to maintaining cycle times and productivity.
While specific certification details for this exact bracket aren’t listed, Norgren accessories in the 07 Series are designed to integrate with SIL-rated pneumatic systems and typically support CE compliance where applicable. Always verify the exact certification scope for your installation with your procurement or engineering team to ensure full regulatory alignment.
Neck mounting provides a compact footprint, easier alignment, and quicker teardown for maintenance compared with bulkier mounting options. It reduces misalignment risk in dynamic environments and simplifies cabling and modular integration, delivering faster installation, reduced labor time, and improved serviceability in high-uptime manufacturing lines.
Expect reduced downtime due to faster field servicing and easier component replacement, since neck-mounted configurations simplify access. The stable mounting reduces vibration-induced wear, potentially extending component life and decreasing spare-part consumption. Over time, this translates to lower maintenance costs and improved return on investment for automated lines.
