FAQs
QA/8160/43 uses UL rear hinge mounting and a 160 mm bore, designed for compatibility with standard Norgren manifolds and common pneumatic circuits. To install, align the bore precisely, attach the rear-hinge mounting to the machine frame, and connect the supply and return lines using standard quick-connect fittings. Ensure the mounting surface is flat and clean to maintain a proper seal and minimize misalignment during operation.
You can expect reliable, repeatable linear actuation with a strong, consistent stroke thanks to the 160 mm bore and robust aluminium body. The design minimizes side-load sensitivity and offers smooth start/stop behavior in high-cycle environments. For packaging and material handling lines, this translates to steadier positioning, reduced cycle time variation, and longer service life under repetitive motion.
Yes. The 160 mm bore delivers substantial actuation force for grip and positioning tasks, while the UL rear hinge mounting provides space-efficient installation in crowded packaging lines. Its aluminium body keeps weight manageable for fast cycling, and compatibility with standard manifolds simplifies upgrades and retrofits in existing packaging and assembly workflows.
QA/8160/43 incorporates UL rear hinge mounting, reflecting compliance with recognized safety mounting standards for industrial pneumatics. While the cylinder is designed to integrate with common automation systems, verify local regulatory requirements forCE marking or IP ratings in your facility if applicable. When in doubt, consult the supplier for certified test results relevant to your region.
The aluminium body and corrosion-resistant construction reduce wear and maintenance frequency, improving uptime on high-cycle lines. Availability of spare parts and standard mounting patterns lowers total ownership costs, while predictable motion reduces scrap and rework. Over the equipment lifecycle, this translates to a favorable return on investment through lower maintenance downtime and longer service intervals.
