Norgren KQM/8012/25 Piston Rod Clevis Mount - 12mm Bore
Part Number: KQM/8012/25
Quick Summary
Norgren KQM/8012/25 is a piston rod clevis mounting solution designed for compact linear actuation in automation and control systems. It helps operators secure a piston rod to a clevis point with precision, reducing play and misalignment during high-frequency cycling. In practice, engineers encounter mounting variations that lead to wear, downtime, and inconsistent stroke performance; this part addresses those challenges with a robust mounting interface. In this category, buyers often consider CE conformity and reliable IP ratings to ensure safe operation in harsh environments. Familiar with standard automation practices, hardware compatibility and predictable service life translate into lower maintenance costs and faster line changeovers. The solution supports efficient integrations within pneumatic circuits and aligns with common 12 mm bore actuators for streamlined procurement.

FAQs
KQM/8012/25 uses a standard 12 mm bore piston rod clevis mounting, making it compatible with many common pneumatic actuators and mounting plates. For retrofit projects, verify hole spacing and clevis size against the actuator’s rod end to ensure a precise, secure fit without adapter hardware.
By delivering a rigid, low-play connection between the piston rod and the clevis, this mounting minimizes misalignment and stroke variation. The result is higher repeatability, reduced wear on moving parts, and more consistent cycle times across automation tasks such as packaging, pick-and-place, and material handling.
The data provided does not specify IP ratings or cleanroom suitability. For applications with dust, moisture, or stringent cleanliness requirements, consult the supplier for IP-rated variants or consider protective housings and seals to maintain performance in challenging environments.
Regular inspection of mounting bolts for tightness, checking for clear alignment, and ensuring the clevis pin and rod end remain free of excessive play are recommended. If lubrication is specified for the connected actuator, maintain the recommended lubricant schedule to minimize wear at the joint.
The mounting simplifies installation, reduces misalignment-driven wear, and enables faster commissioning. These factors can lower maintenance costs, shorten downtime during changeovers, and improve line throughput, contributing to a favorable return on investment for automated packaging and handling lines.
