FAQs
To install, verify cylinder compatibility with a 40 mm bore, mount the unit using the standard pattern, and connect the supply and pilot lines per the datasheet. Perform a controlled lock/unlock test at light load before full production cycling. Ensure all fittings are tight and free of leaks to prevent drift during high-speed operation.
Yes. QA/8040/59 is designed to integrate with the IMI Norgren pneumatic ecosystem and standard 40 mm bore cylinders, enabling seamless retrofits on conveyors, robotic cells, and packaging lines. Reuse existing mounting hardware where possible, and verify all connections in the control system to minimize commissioning time.
The locking unit uses a robust mechanism that resists backdrive and vibration, maintaining lock integrity across repetitive cycles. Its compact form factor and secure mounting reduce mechanical play, improving repeatability and extending the service life of downstream actuators and connected guidance rails.
Common use cases include securing conveyors during transfers, maintaining precise positions in pick-and-place cells, and locking actuators on packaging equipment to prevent drift during high-speed operations. These outcomes translate into higher throughput, better product alignment, and lower reject rates in food, beverage, and general manufacturing lines.
Maintenance should focus on seal integrity, fittings, and lock reliability. Inspect fittings for leaks, verify the locking action at scheduled intervals, and replace seals following the datasheet guidance. Keeping a lock-test log and recording cycle counts helps track performance trends and supports proactive service to minimize unplanned downtime and extend equipment life.
