FAQs
The KQM/8040/32 uses UF universal piston rod eye mounting as its standard end-effector connection, enabling versatile attachments such as grippers and clamps and simplifying integration with existing tooling.
The cylinder has a 40 mm bore diameter and the model number is KQM/8040/32, with cylinder diameter explicitly listed as 40 mm in its product details.
CE compliance is typically expected for European markets on industrial cylinders, and many Norgren assemblies are designed for compatibility with SIL-rated control architectures. For specific SIL ratings or IP variants, verify the exact product variant with the supplier or request the certification documentation.
UF mounting provides flexible end-effector connections, reducing custom fabrication time and allowing faster tool changes. This leads to shorter commissioning, easier maintenance, and higher overall line throughput in automated tasks.
To maximize life and performance, use clean, dry compressed air, follow a regular maintenance schedule, and inspect seals and mounting hardware during routine service. The universal mounting design also simplifies swaps or upgrades without major rework.
