Lintra Plus mounting delivers a robust, vibration-resistant interface that keeps actuators aligned under dynamic loads, reducing misalignment and wear. The business impact is improved repeatability and lower scrap rates, enabling consistent performance on conveyors, packaging lines, and automated pick-and-place cells. This translates to shorter changeovers and higher line throughput in high-mix environments. Centre support V minimizes cantilever loading and side thrust, prolonging seal life and smoothing operation in tight spaces where space is at a premium. The result is lower maintenance intervals and fewer unscheduled outages in compact automation cells. The 16 mm bore provides a compact package with sufficient force for small payloads, delivering faster response times and energy-efficient actuation. Applications include precise positioning in small automation tasks and rapid cycling in clustered workstations, where reliable actuation translates to improved productivity and predictable ROI. CAD data compatibility and standard mounting patterns simplify integration, reducing design time and enabling faster rack-and-stack installations on existing lines. Practically, users experience easier retrofits and consistent performance across varying temperatures and duty cycles. In real-world deployments, the Lintra Plus family is recognized for reliability, helping OEMs meet stringent uptime targets while controlling total cost of ownership.

FAQs
QM/146016/32 is designed for Lintra Plus mounting and 16 mm bore configurations, featuring standardized mounting footprints and compatible seal sizes. For installation, verify bore alignment, secure mounting fasteners, and reference the datasheet CAD data to ensure correct orientation. The Centre support V option helps minimize side loads during installation, simplifying alignment in tight spaces and reducing rework during commissioning.
Key factors include bore size, mounting stability, and stroke speed control. The 16 mm bore provides a compact yet capable actuation profile, while Lintra Plus mounting and Centre support V reduce lateral loads, improving repeatability and seal life under high-cycle conditions. To optimize life and throughput, synchronize cycle rates with Valve/Pneumatic controls and ensure proper lubrication and maintenance per the datasheet.
suitability depends on enclosure protection and material choices specified in the datasheet. While the Lintra Plus family is designed for robust industrial use, verify IP rating and surface finishes for cleanroom or washdown compatibility. If needed, select accessories and coatings that meet your environmental requirements and confirm with the datasheet’s environmental guidance.
Certification details, including CE compliance and IP-related ratings, are documented in the official datasheet and product literature. Always consult the datasheet for the exact scope of certifications applicable to QM/146016/32 and regional requirements. If your environment requires SIL considerations, refer to safety specifications noted in the documentation and relevant supplier references.
The combination of Lintra Plus mounting and Centre support V reduces misalignment and side loads, decreasing wear and extending seal life, which lowers maintenance frequency. The compact 16 mm bore enables smaller, lighter actuators that accelerate installation and reduce space constraints. Together, these factors translate to less downtime, higher line throughput, and a faster return on investment for compact automation applications.
