Norgren QA/8080/51/400 Guide Block - 80 mm Bore
Part Number: QA/8080/51/400
Quick Summary
The QA/8080/51/400 guide block delivers precise linear guidance for automation cylinders used in packaging, assembly, and material handling. Engineers often struggle with misalignment and wear in bearing-guided slides, leading to downtime and maintenance cost spikes. This model features a plain bearing style with an 80 mm bore and a 400 mm stroke to optimize motion reliability and load distribution. While certification specifics vary by installation, verify CE compliance and IP protection levels and assess SIL suitability for higher-risk environments. For manufacturers, quick CAD data and installation guides enable faster design-in, reduced engineering hours, and improved system uptime through predictable, repeatable motion, supporting better total cost of ownership in industrial automation contexts.
