Norgren KQM/8020/24 Pneumatic Cylinder - 20 mm Bore
Part Number: KQM/8020/24
Quick Summary
Norgren KQM/8020/24 Pneumatic Cylinder provides reliable linear actuation for compact automation in constrained spaces. Engineers often struggle with mounting compatibility and quick installation in confined automation environments. While exact certifications for this model are not listed here, Norgren products commonly support CE marking for EU safety and IP-rated enclosures to withstand harsh plant conditions; SIL readiness should be confirmed in the datasheet for safety-related applications. This model's German engineering heritage underpins robust performance, corrosion resistance, and long service life. By aligning with standard 20 mm bore actuators and rear hinge mounting, you gain faster installation, easier maintenance, and lower total cost of ownership while maintaining precise control and consistent repeatability.

Feature → Business Impact → Application: The KQM/8020/24 uses a compact 20 mm bore cylinder with rear hinge mounting, which saves valuable machine envelope space and reduces bracket complexity. This translates to faster retrofit projects, easier field adjustments, and lower installation costs in packaging lines and compact automation setups. Application: In tight installations, the small footprint enables precise actuations in confined grippers and transfer mechanisms, improving cycle times and reducing downtime. Feature → Business Impact → Application: With dimensions 34 mm height, 39 mm length, and 29.5 mm width, the actuator delivers a predictable envelope that simplifies CAD integration and panel planning; users benefit from faster part replacement and standardized mounting across multiple stations. Application: Ideal for multi-point pick-and-place cells and compact automation cells where space is at a premium. Feature → Business Impact → Application: At 0.08 kg, the cylinder minimizes load on supporting structures, reducing energy consumption and extending actuator life; this supports high-repetition tasks in automation lines. Application: Suitable for lightweight handling, gripping, and positioning tasks where maintainable actuation is critical. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Rear hinge mounting reduces bracket fatigue and simplifies alignment during installation, cutting commissioning time and improving first-time fix rates. Application: Useful for retrofit projects and new lines requiring quick integration with existing mounting standards. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Compatibility with standard pneumatic fittings and robust German engineering enhances reliability and parts availability, lowering maintenance costs and supplier risk. Application: Applies across robotics, packaging, and assembly applications seeking consistent performance. Objection handling: If environmental protection is a concern, verify IP ratings and housing protection on the datasheet; for safety-critical tasks, plan for SIL integration in the control system to ensure compliant operation.

FAQs
The rear hinge mounting design supports standard alignment and simplifies bracket selection, reducing installation time. Its 20 mm bore fits typical mini-acting end-effectors and grippers, while standard pneumatic fittings ease line integration. Always verify mounting pattern and the availability of compatible brackets in the datasheet for your specific installation.
Key specifications include 20 mm bore, 34 mm height, 39 mm length, 29.5 mm width, and a weight of 0.08 kg. Stroke and velocity are not listed here, so consult the manufacturer datasheet for actuation force at your operating pressure and the available stroke options to match your application requirements.
Yes, its compact footprint and rear hinge mounting are well-suited to tight automation cells, offering reliable linear actuation with minimal spatial impact. Ensure your IP and environmental requirements are met and confirm any industry-specific standards via the datasheet, as environmental protection and enclosure rating vary by variant.
Typical considerations include CE marking for EU safety compliance and appropriate IP enclosure protection. SIL readiness depends on system-level safety design, so confirm with the datasheet or manufacturer. Always check the exact certification status for your region and application before deployment.
The unit’s lightweight, German engineering and simple rear-hinge mounting reduce installation time and bracket complexity, lowering downtime during maintenance. Durable construction supports longer service intervals, while compatibility with standard fittings minimizes spare parts inventory, contributing to lower total cost of ownership in automated lines.
