32 mm bore with a roller bearing guide delivers precise alignment and high load capacity, minimizing side-load induced wear on the cylinder rod. This design translates to longer service intervals, lower maintenance costs, and more repeatable strokes in automated equipment. The result is improved process stability on 32 mm bore pneumatic cylinder installations used in packaging lines, pick-and-place cells, and small- to mid-sized automation platforms. With a 320 mm stroke, the QA/8032/61/320 enables extended travel between actuators, reducing the number of cylinders needed for longer motions. Operators benefit from simplified pneumatic system architecture and fewer leakage points, which cut setup time and energy consumption. This is particularly advantageous in material handling and assembly processes that require precise end-of-stroke positioning. Backed by the IMI Norgren brand, this actuator benefits from a global support network and readily available spare parts, minimizing downtime. The proven guide block roller bearing arrangement provides smooth motion even in dirty or dusty environments, helping maintain performance without frequent recalibration. Compatibility with standard mounting patterns also simplifies retrofit projects on existing lines. Free CAD download and Installation Guide support rapid integration, reducing engineering cycle times and the risk of misassembly. Having accessible documentation accelerates validation and commissioning, ensuring compliance with internal standards and customer requirements. The combination of robust documentation and a widely used brand helps procurement teams meet project timelines more reliably. In practice, the QA/8032/61/320 delivers measurable ROI through reduced maintenance, energy efficiency, and lower total cost of ownership in high-cycle automation scenarios. Its compact footprint and precise stroke make it a versatile choice for OEMs and system integrators seeking dependable pneumatic actuation without costly redesigns. Additionally, the 32 mm bore equipment aligns with standard compressed air supply levels and minimizes air consumption per cycle, supporting energy-conscious design goals.
