Norgren QA/8100/51/400 Guide block plain bearing - 100 mm bore
Part Number: QA/8100/51/400
Quick Summary
Norgren QA/8100/51/400 is a guide block pneumatic cylinder delivering precise, repeatable linear motion for automated systems. Engineers often contend with wear in plain bearings and inconsistent stroke under load; this design minimizes backlash and reduces maintenance in demanding applications. Typical certifications to verify for cylinders of this type include CE marking, IP ratings, and SIL readiness depending on configuration; always consult the official datasheet and the installation guide for specifics. For procurement teams, rapid integration is supported by CAD downloads and clear mounting instructions, enabling faster deployment, easier maintenance planning, and improved overall system reliability. Partners gain confidence from documented compatibility and a simplified upgrade path.

FAQs
This model supports standard mounting patterns compatible with Norgren accessories, including flange and clevis-style mounts. When planning integration, refer to the CAD models and the installation guide to confirm fitment, fastener sizes, and alignment practices. Practical guidance helps ensure repeatable positioning and fast commissioning on automation lines.
QA/8100/51/400 features a 100 mm bore and a 400 mm stroke, enabling greater load capacity and extended travel compared with smaller cylinders. This combination supports higher stiffness, reduced deflection, and longer service life in repetitive pick-and-place and material-handling tasks, while preserving compact footprint in automated cells.
Yes. The 100 mm bore and 400 mm stroke, coupled with the guide block plain bearing design, provide precise, repeatable motion with low friction and minimal backlash. This makes it well-suited for high-volume assembly lines, packaging, and pick-and-place applications where consistent cycle times and predictable behavior are critical.
Key certifications to verify for pneumatic cylinders of this type include CE marking for European compliance, IP ratings for environmental protection, and SIL readiness where safety-related applications are involved. Check the official datasheet and the installation guide for configuration-specific approvals and testing requirements before deployment in safety-critical systems.
