FAQs
To install QM/46020/21 with foot mounting, start by verifying the mounting plate and fasteners match the cylinder’s foot pattern. Align the cylinder bore with the desired actuator or linkage, insert fasteners with appropriate torque, and ensure the rod end is connected without binding. Provide clean, filtered air at the required pressure, then test retraction and extension for smooth travel. For repeatable performance, confirm alignment across adjacent components and secure all mounting points before commissioning.
Yes. The 20 mm bore Lintra cylinder is designed to align with common 20 mm bore accessory patterns, including standard end-plates, mounting brackets, and air fittings. When integrating with valves or controllers, verify that the control signals and air supply are compatible with Lintra’s mounting footprint and port locations. This compatibility supports straightforward scale-up and easier interchangeability within multi-cylinder automation cells.
The QM/46020/21 excels in compact actuation tasks such as pick-and-place, clamping, and transfer motions in packaging and assembly lines. Its 20 mm bore and foot-mount design enable tight spacing between stations, reducing cycle times and easing integration with small grippers or actuated fixtures. In continuous production environments, its reliable performance helps maintain throughput while minimizing space-induced bottlenecks.
The QM/46020/21 is designed to align with CE safety expectations and typical industrial IP considerations within the Lintra family. While IP ratings and SIL compatibility depend on specific configurations and accessory choices, the design supports compliant operation in standard factory environments. Always consult the official data sheet and system engineering guidelines to confirm the exact certifications for your chosen configuration.
QM/46020/21 offers predictable maintenance through a robust, modular Lintra design and straightforward mounting, reducing downtime and spare-parts complexity. Its compact footprint enables easier retrofits and upgrades, lowering installation costs in tight spaces. Over the lifecycle, the combination of standardization, reliability, and ease of integration translates to improved line throughput and lower total cost of ownership for automation projects.
