Norgren QA/8100/51/500 Guide Block Cylinder - 100 mm Bore
Part Number: QA/8100/51/500
Quick Summary
QA/8100/51/500 guide block cylinder delivers precise linear actuation for automation and control systems. Engineers often struggle with misalignment, wear, and maintenance in long-stroke cylinders, reducing uptime and increasing maintenance costs. CE marking and IP-rated protections are commonly leveraged in this family to meet safety and environmental requirements, with ISO 9001 quality management underpinning consistent manufacturing. This actuator combines robust plain bearing guidance with a long-stroke profile to deliver reliable motion in demanding lines. By optimizing compatibility and using standard mounting patterns, customers gain easier integration, lower retrofit risk, and measurable reductions in lifecycle costs while maintaining high performance in automated assembly and material-handling applications.

FAQs
QA/8100/51/500 uses standard mounting interfaces common to Norgren 100 mm bore actuators, enabling quick retrofit into existing frames without major rework. The product page provides CAD models and installation guidance to streamline design-in. Engineers should verify the exact mounting pattern in the installation guide to confirm compatibility with legacy 51-series components and available Norgren accessories.
Expect strong reach with consistent stroke length, enabling efficient part transfer and controlled positioning. The 100 mm bore supports adequate force for typical pick-and-place tasks, while the 500 mm stroke offers extended travel for longer cycles. In high-cycle environments, the plain bearing guide reduces friction wear, improving cycle reliability and reducing maintenance downtime.
Yes. The product page includes an Installation Guide (PDF) and CAD download, designed to speed up commissioning and minimize setup errors. These resources cover mounting options, tolerances, and alignment procedures, helping technicians achieve accurate alignment, proper air connections, and safe, efficient operation with minimal line stops.
Regulatory compliance typically depends on regional requirements and the chosen configuration. Norgren actuators commonly include CE marking and IP-rated variants to address safety and environmental exposure. For applications in hazardous environments, verify the exact IP rating and any SIL considerations in the regional specification and the installation guides to ensure compliance and safe operation.
The plain bearing guide reduces friction and wear, extending service life and lowering maintenance costs in high-cycle use. With a longer maintenance interval, downtime decreases, boosting overall equipment effectiveness. ROI improves further when combined with quick design-in via CAD assets and familiar mounting patterns, enabling faster project completion and predictable performance over the asset’s life.
