Lintra Plus mounting with Centre support V provides rigid, vibration-resistant alignment. This reduces misalignment-induced wear and extends cycle life, delivering repeatable stroke and performance across thousands of cycles. In high-precision packaging and assembly lines, reliable alignment translates directly into tighter tolerances, less scrap, smoother changeovers, and reduced operator intervention in automation systems. The result is more consistent product quality and lower warranty costs. The QM/146020/32 uses a 20 mm bore, delivering a compact yet capable actuator. The small footprint enables installation in crowded panels and along dense conveyors without compromising actuation force, boosting line density and overall throughput. It’s well suited for inline robotic pick-and-place and clamp applications in modern manufacturing environments. Operators appreciate easier maintenance due to exposed ports and modular mounting options. Compatibility with standard Lintra Plus accessories simplifies retrofits and new installations alike. This reduces commissioning time and minimizes field adjustments, cutting downtime during changes and maintenance. For OEMs and service teams, it translates to lower total cost of ownership and faster time-to-value on automation projects. The modular approach also eases version upgrades across fleets. Robust seals and durable construction minimize air leaks and energy waste, supporting lower operating costs. The cylinder is designed for long service intervals, enabling predictable maintenance planning and higher uptime in critical lines. In regulated settings, consistent actuation supports compliance with quality and safety standards. CAD models and datasheets streamline design reviews and digital twins, helping engineers validate fit, stroke, and mounting clearances early. Standardizing on Lintra Plus components improves supplier support during scale-up and reduces integration risk across multi-site automation projects. With the Norgren ecosystem, teams can leverage common spare parts and service training to accelerate deployment and maintenance.

FAQs
The QM/146020/32 is designed to fit Lintra Plus mounting with Centre support V, enabling straightforward alignment and secure fastening. Start by verifying bore compatibility (20 mm) and ensuring the mounting pattern matches your frame. Attach the cylinder using standard brackets, connect the supply, and confirm stroke alignment with CAD references from Norgren. A final check on consistent bottom-out positioning helps prevent binding during rapid cycling.
Key specs include a 20 mm bore for compact actuation, the Lintra Plus series for reliable mounting, and Centre support V for axial stability. It is branded IMI Norgren, designed for pneumatic linear actuation in automation systems. While explicit CE/SIL/IP details are model-dependent, consult the datasheet to confirm exact certifications and performance ratings for your region and application.
Yes, the QM/146020/32 is well-suited for packaging line automation due to its compact 20 mm bore, Lintra Plus mounting, and centre support. It delivers repeatable actuation with a small footprint, enabling higher line density and faster changeovers. Its compatibility with standard Norgren accessories also simplifies retrofits and upgrades on existing packaging equipment.
Certifications for Lintra Plus cylinders commonly include CE compliance for European markets; IP ratings and SIL considerations are important for safety and harsh environments, though exact ratings vary by model. Always verify the specific QM/146020/32 documentation or datasheet to confirm the exact certifications for your regulatory needs.
Maintenance and ROI benefit from robust seals and a durable build that minimize leaks and energy waste, extending service intervals and uptime. The compact design reduces installation and retrofit costs, while standard access to CAD models and datasheets accelerates design cycles, enabling faster time-to-value and lower total cost of ownership on high-volume automation projects.
