FAQs
The QA/8100/51/320 guide block provides precise linear motion for automated tooling, assembly, and pick-and-place systems. With a 100 mm bore and 320 mm stroke, it supports repeatable travel on standard automation platforms, delivering improved positioning accuracy and consistent performance in high-cycle applications.
Yes. The guide block is designed around a 100 mm bore foundation and is compatible with IMI Norgren cylinder systems. This compatibility enables straightforward mounting, reduces the need for custom adapters, and supports quick upgrades or retrofits on existing lines.
For best results, ensure precise alignment of the guide block with the mating guide rail, follow torque specifications in the Installation Guide, and keep the bore clear of contaminants. Use the CAD data for correct mounting patterns, and perform regular inspection and lubrication as part of a standard maintenance routine.
Regional certifications vary by market. The QA/8100/51/320 line is designed to support CE-compliant configurations and IP-rated variants where applicable. Always verify the specific model’s certification status with your distributor or the data sheet to ensure compliance for your application region.
The plain bearing guide and robust assembly reduce wear and downtime, extending service intervals and improving machine availability. Combined with easy installation and readily available CAD guides, this leads to lower maintenance costs, faster cycle times, and a quicker return on investment in automated production lines.
