Norgren M/146140/M/1000 Rodless Cylinder - External guide
Part Number: M/146140/M/1000
Quick Summary
Norgren Lintra Plus rodless cylinder delivers compact, high-precision linear motion for automated manufacturing and packaging lines. Engineers often struggle with misalignment and maintenance in long-stroke actuators, so this unit uses an external guiding system, a proven sealing solution, and built-in dust protection to extend service life. While exact certifications should be verified on the official datasheet, this range is designed to meet common industrial safety and reliability expectations, with a magnetic piston and interchangeability with series M/46000. In practice, that means faster installation, simpler spare-part planning, and reduced downtime across multiple lines. Benefiting from a 40 mm bore, 1000 mm stroke, and universal mounting grooves, it supports diverse automation tasks with consistent performance.

External guiding and a 40 mm bore provide stable, repeatable motion with reduced misalignment. This improves cycle consistency and minimizes wear on components, making it ideal for pick-and-place and clamp tasks across packaging, automotive, and general automation. The guiding system also supports faster positioning accuracy and reduces frame deflection during high-speed strokes. The lightweight extrusion with universal mounting grooves speeds installation and reduces the need for custom brackets, cutting down assembly time and parts cost; it also simplifies future repositioning across stations when line configurations change. The module's compatibility with 40 mm bore Lintra Plus accessories means you can add end-of-line sensors, bracing, or Pneufit C fittings without rework. The proven sealing system with standard dust protection extends service life in dirty environments and lowers maintenance frequencies. Piston head seals use polyurethane, while body seals use nitrile rubber, delivering reliable sealing across temperature ranges and pressures. Interchangeability with the M/46000 series simplifies spare-parts inventory and cross-compatibility across lines, ensuring rapid retrofits and better vendor consolidation. Magnetic piston and optional reed switch enable easy sensing of position without complex cabling, while an operating range of -30 to 80 °C and 1–8 bar covers diverse plant conditions.

FAQs
Installation is straightforward thanks to Lintra Plus's universal mounting grooves and 40 mm bore. Use standard G1/4 pneumatic fittings (1–8 bar supply), select compatible mountings (foot, swing bridge, or carriage plate), and place the 1300 mm length to fit your cycle area. For sensing, the M/50 reed switch option integrates easily with 5 m cables.
At 40 mm bore, the Lintra Plus unit delivers a theoretical force of 754 N under standard operating conditions. It is rated for compressed air at 1 to 8 bar (15 to 116 psi), with a robust temperature range of -30 to 80 °C. This combination supports reliable actuation for mid-load positioning, clamping, and transfer tasks across typical automation cells.
Yes, the 40 mm bore with external guiding and adjustable cushioning is well-suited for high-cycle packaging lines where repeatability and fast response are essential. The external guide reduces side loads, while the adjustable cushioning minimizes impact, extending service life. The 1000 mm stroke supports long-throw motions without excessive hardware; the integrated dust protection helps maintain performance in dusty environments typical of form-fill-seal operations.
Certification details for this specific model are not listed in the provided data; consult the official datasheet or distributor documentation for CE, SIL, IP, or other regulatory approvals. The design supports safety and reliability features such as dust protection, magnetic sensing, and robust seals, which align with common industry compliance expectations. For project qualification, verify the exact certificates with your QA team.
Maximize life by leveraging the adjustable cushioning and wear-resistant seals, while using the external guiding to minimize side loads and misalignment that cause premature wear. Regularly inspect seals and sensors; replace worn components using interchangeable M/46000-series parts to reduce spare-parts variety. The combination of simpler retrofits, inventory consolidation, and reduced downtime translates to lower total cost of ownership and faster payback in mixed-line automation.
