FAQs
QA/8040/61/100 uses standard guide block mounting interfaces designed for IMI Norgren systems, facilitating straightforward retrofit onto common ISO mounting patterns. When installing, verify bore alignment, confirm mounting hole spacing matches the existing plate, and use appropriate fasteners to ensure rigid coupling. The result is reduced misalignment, smoother travel, and faster commissioning.
The actuator features a 40 mm cylinder diameter and a 100 mm stroke, with a guide block roller bearing design that delivers stable, repeatable linear motion. This configuration supports high-cycle automation, tight positioning tolerance, and predictable acceleration profiles. For specific applications, confirm operating pressure ranges and fitment with your pneumatic supply and valve packages.
The design supports integration into CE-compliant systems and can operate in IP-rated environments when paired with appropriate enclosures and protective coatings. For rigorous safety and environmental requirements, combine the actuator with compliant control panels, conformal seals, and validated safety interlocks to meet regional regulations and your safety management plan.
Begin with verifying the mounting pattern compatibility and cylinder alignment. Install the guide block with properly torqued fasteners, connect the supply lines to the correct porting, and perform a low-speed test to check for smooth travel and absence of binding. Using the provided installation guide reduces commissioning time and minimizes adjustments during initial operation.
Plan for routine inspection of seals, lubrication points, and mounting integrity at defined intervals. The roller-bearing guide reduces wear-induced play, supporting longer service intervals and lower downtime. In typical high-cycle lines, this translates to improved uptime, fewer part replacements, and a faster return on investment through enhanced process reliability.
