Norgren QA/8032/51/500 Guide Block - 32 mm Bore
Part Number: QA/8032/51/500
Quick Summary
Norgren QA/8032/51/500 guide block delivers precise linear guidance for automated assembly and pick-and-place systems. Engineers often battle misalignment, wear, and downtime in compact automation lines, which can throttle throughput and raise maintenance costs. In this class of products, CE compliance, IP ratings for environmental protection, and SIL considerations are critical to safe and reliable operation. This guide block is designed to integrate with standard 32 mm bore cylinders and Norgren’s automation ecosystem, helping you reduce setup time and achieve repeatable movement across production shifts. The result is improved reliability, lower downtime, and a stronger return on investment for OEMs and system integrators.
