Quick Summary

Norgren QA/8100/51/100 guide block is designed to provide precise linear guidance for automated assemblies. Engineers often struggle with misalignment, wear, and downtime in high-cycle pneumatic systems. Typical regional requirements include CE marking for Europe, IP-rated environmental protection, and SIL considerations depending on configuration. These factors drive installation confidence, reduce unplanned maintenance, and support efficient procurement. Leveraging the 100 mm bore, 100 mm stroke format and readily available CAD data, this block accelerates deployment while aligning with standard mounting patterns for broader compatibility.

FAQs

The QA/8100/51/100 is designed for standard 100 mm bore installations with a compact footprint and compatible mounting patterns. It supports common alignment features and fasteners used in automation cells, enabling straightforward retrofits and predictable integration with existing pneumatic cylinders and guide rails.
The plain bearing design delivers low friction, reduced wear, and stable motion across thousands of cycles. This translates to lower lubrication needs, cooler operation, and extended service life, reducing maintenance interruptions in packaging lines, material handling, and high-speed conveying systems.
CAD models are available via the Part Community link provided by Norgren, and the Installation Guide PDF can be downloaded from Norgren’s repository. These resources help with accurate 3D placement, interference checks, and proper mounting clearances before build-out.
Check for CE marking for European installations and verify any region-specific IP ratings for environmental protection. SIL considerations depend on your safety-function configuration. Always confirm the exact certifications tied to your configuration in the installation guide and CAD package supplied with the product.
ROI is driven by reduced downtime, lower maintenance intervals, and improved line availability due to tighter tolerances and reliable motion. The CAD data and standardized mounting reduce commissioning time, while the durable plain bearing design lowers wear-related costs, delivering faster payback in high-volume packaging or assembly operations.
