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.

FAQs

For installation, ensure compatible 32 mm bore mounting templates and verify alignment with adjacent actuators. Use the included installation guide to confirm bore alignment, fastener torque, and proper rail or guide rail support. Pre-assembly checks and correct shimming minimize misalignment and extend life.
Yes. The QA/8032/51/500 is designed to integrate with standard 32 mm bore cylinders and mounting patterns, enabling straightforward retrofits and scalable configurations across existing automation lines with minimal engineering effort.
Primary applications include automated assembly, inline picking and placing, material handling, and packaging tasks. The 32 mm bore with a 500 mm stroke offers reach in tight spaces while maintaining precise, repeatable motion essential for high-quality output.
Verify CE marking for European markets, appropriate IP ratings for environmental exposure, and SIL considerations for safety-critical applications. While this model is positioned for compatibility and reliability, confirm region-specific certifications with your procurement or compliance teams.
Expected ROI comes from reduced downtime, improved repeatability, and faster commissioning. The long stroke and stable plain bearing guidance enable higher throughput in compact footprints, lowering total cost of ownership and increasing overall equipment effectiveness over the production life cycle.
