FAQs
To install, verify compatibility with your existing mounting pattern and refer to the Installation Guide (PDF) for torque values, bore alignment, and fastener sequences. Use the CAD resources to model the unit in your assembly, ensuring proper clearance and support. Confirm the stroke and end-of-line positions match your cycle requirements to avoid binding.
The actuator features a 100 mm bore and a 160 mm stroke, delivering strong thrust within a compact envelope. A longer stroke increases reach per cycle, reducing the number of actuators needed for extended travel, while the 100 mm bore provides sufficient force for typical pick-and-place and push/pull tasks, improving overall cycle efficiency.
This guide block design is intended for industrial automation, where robustness and reliability matter. Compliance considerations, such as CE marking, are addressed in regional configurations. Always verify the specific regional certifications for your deployment and consult the documentation for maintenance and protective-rating details relevant to your environment.
The QA/8100/61/160 line is built to meet common industry standards and is offered with CE considerations in mind for European markets. Certification availability may vary by region and configuration; check the datasheet and region-specific documentation to confirm exact compliance, including any SIL or IP-related requirements applicable to your regulatory context.
Expect improved uptime due to higher rigidity and reduced misalignment, which lowers scrap and rework in automation tasks. For maintenance, follow the lubrication and service intervals outlined in the Installation Guide and CAD resources; using genuine Norgren spares and seals helps maintain performance and extend the life of the pneumatic cylinder in continuous operation.
