FAQs
QA/8063/51/400 uses standard guide block mounting compatible with Norgren control interfaces and common ISO mounting patterns. To install, align the bore with the actuator axis, secure with the supplied mounting bolts, and connect the control valve or sensor wiring per the Installation Guide. The CAD data and installation instructions help ensure correct alignment, torque, and travel limits, reducing commissioning time and risk of misalignment.
The 63 mm bore defines the piston diameter, while the 400 mm stroke indicates the travel length. This combination provides extended actuation within a compact envelope, supporting longer reach and faster cycle times in automated lines. The plain bearing guide block design minimizes side-load effects and maintains repeatability across cycles, which is critical for consistent part handling and positioning.
Yes, when matched with proper control logic and mounting, the 63 mm bore and 400 mm stroke configuration supports high-cycle packaging and light-to-medium robotics tasks. The plain bearing guide block offers smoother motion and reduced wear, which helps maintain uptime and predictable repeatability under repetitive cycles. Always validate with your cycle rate, load profile, and environmental conditions.
For regulated environments, verify CE conformity and any IP-rated variants within the Norgren family that match your enclosure and wash-down requirements. Confirm that the exact QA/8063/51/400 configuration you order includes the desired certifications and environmental ratings, and reference the supplier datasheet and Installation Guide to ensure compliance with your safety and regulatory standards.
The plain bearing guide block design reduces friction wear and prolongs service intervals, lowering maintenance costs and downtime. A longer, stable stroke improves process efficiency, reducing cycle times and part rejection rates. Access to CAD data and installation guides speeds up commissioning, supporting a faster path to return on investment through improved throughput and lower lifecycle costs.
