Norgren QA/8040/21 Pneumatic Cylinder - 40 mm Bore
Part Number: QA/8040/21
Quick Summary
QA/8040/21 pneumatic cylinder provides precise linear actuation for automation equipment in manufacturing environments. Engineers often confront cramped installations, mounting difficulties, and inconsistent performance with compact cylinders. While CE compliance and IP ratings are essential for safe European deployments, many teams also consider SIL-related safeguards when integrating actuators into safety-critical systems. The 40 mm bore and foot-mounting design of this unit simplify installation, reduce misalignment risk, and deliver repeatable stroke under typical automation loads. German engineering heritage supports durability and predictable lifecycle, translating to lower maintenance costs and less downtime. With readily available CAD models and datasheets, you can streamline integration and accelerate project timelines while preserving reliability and efficiency.

FAQs
QA/8040/21 uses a foot-mount configuration and standard compact cylinder dimensions, making it compatible with common mounting feet, brackets, and alignment accessories used in small to mid-size automation cells.
Cylinder diameter is 40 mm; height 28 mm; length 53 mm; width 37 mm; weight 0.18 kg. These dimensions support compact integration in tight automation enclosures.
With a light 0.18 kg moving mass and a compact footprint, the actuator is well-suited for moderate to high-speed cycles, provided air supply is properly filtered and pressured to maintain consistent stroke and repeatability.
European deployments typically require CE marking for EU compliance and IP protection ratings for environmental exposure. For safety-critical applications, assess SIL-related considerations when integrating with other safety systems.
