Norgren QA/8050/61/320 Guide block roller - 320mm stroke
Part Number: QA/8050/61/320
Quick Summary
Norgren QA/8050/61/320 is a guide block roller actuator designed for precise linear motion in automation systems. Engineers often contend with misalignment, stiction, and downtime when using standard cylinders on fast, repetitive cycles. This unit is CE-compliant and engineered for compatibility with typical IP-rated environments and SIL-ready safety considerations, ensuring safer integration in complex lines. With a 50 mm bore and a 320 mm stroke, it delivers consistent force and extended travel in compact spaces. The rugged roller-bearing guidance minimizes friction, enhances repeatability, and reduces wear, while CAD downloads and installation guides speed design and commissioning. In short, it lowers maintenance costs and boosts uptime for packaging, assembly, and material-handling applications.

With a 50 mm bore and a 320 mm stroke, QA/8050/61/320 delivers substantial stroke length in a compact cylinder, making it well suited for packaging lines and automated assembly cells. This combination enables longer travel between end stops without expanding the overall footprint, supporting higher throughput on crowded production floors. In practice, the extra stroke reduces the need for additional actuators and transfer mechanisms, lowering capital expenditure and minimizing line complexity. The guide block roller bearing design reduces friction and stiction, delivering smoother motion, tighter run-out, and improved repeatability across thousands of cycles. That translates to lower cycle time variability, less product-to-product inconsistency, and reduced premature wear on rods and seals. In high-cycle environments, these mechanical advantages extend service intervals and drive down maintenance costs over the life of the line. Design and commissioning are accelerated by available CAD downloads and the Installation Guide, helping engineers slot the unit into existing lines with minimal redesign. Compatibility with standard pneumatic controls, fittings, and mounting accessories simplifies retrofits and reduces risk during upgrades. The actuator's mounting footprint and long-stroke capability also unlock new layout possibilities, enabling more flexible cell design. CE compliance and safety-focused construction support compliant automation deployments in regulated environments, while the robust housing is designed to tolerate typical factory conditions. The quiet operation and controlled acceleration profile minimize vibration and shock transfer to delicate workpieces. The transparent maintenance path—common seal replacements and readily available spare parts—reduces downtime and inventory costs. Across manufacturing segments such as packaging, material handling, and automotive assembly, customers report improved uptime and predictable performance from QA/8050/61/320 compared with older cylinders. The combination of reliability, ease of integration, and supporting documentation delivers clear ROI through reduced downtime, lean design cycles, and lower total cost of ownership.
