FAQs
Yes. QA/8040/51/50 uses the standard Norgren mounting interface common to IMI Norgren guide blocks, enabling straightforward integration with existing equipment. Before installation, verify hole spacing and piston alignment. Use the included CAD data and the Installation Guide to confirm connector patterns, ensuring a clean, quick commissioning process in robot cells or packaging lines.
The model features a 40 mm bore and a 50 mm stroke, paired with a plain bearing style 51 configuration for smooth, low-friction travel. This combination supports reliable repeatability in medium-cycle to high-cycle applications. Confirm fits with the CAD resources and installation recommendations to optimize orientation and minimize end-of-stroke impact.
Industries that require compact, precise linear motion benefit from the QA/8040/51/50 design, including automotive assembly, packaging, automation cells, and fixture work. Its 40 mm bore fits tight spaces while the 50 mm stroke provides adequate travel for short-throw actuation. It integrates with standard manifolds and brackets, enabling scalable solutions across multiple production lines.
The Norgren line typically supports CE-compliant installations and standard IP-rated enclosures; SIL-ready options are available for safety-critical lines. Always verify the exact model datasheet and the Installation Guide for your jurisdiction to ensure regulatory compliance and correct safety-rated configuration in your environment.
ROI is driven by reduced wear from the plain bearing design and predictable motion, which lowers maintenance costs and downtime. Quick commissioning is enabled by downloadable CAD data and an installation guide, shortening project timelines. Coupled with reliable performance over time, this reduces spare parts usage and extends mean time between failures in automation and control systems.
