Feature: Precise alignment for 32 mm bore pneumatic cylinders ensures concentricity between the piston and housing, reducing lateral load on seals and the rod guide. This direct impact translates to longer seal life, fewer leakage events, and more consistent cycle timing in automated lines. Application areas include pick-and-place, transfer modules, and feeder systems where small positional errors compound quickly, demanding stable performance across varying pressures and temperatures. Feature: V-Centre center reference minimizes mount-induced misalignment and tilt. Business impact: repeatability improves, maintenance costs drop as wear on mounting surfaces and seals is reduced. Application: ideal for Lintra actuators in compact automation cells where space constraints demand precise, reliable alignment without bulky adapters. Feature: Lintra-series compatibility and a retrofit-friendly interface streamline procurement and spare parts management. Business impact: simplifies inventory and reduces downtime during upgrades, since existing cylinders and control modules can continue to be used with the appropriate center-support accessory. Application: retrofit programs on existing assembly lines in automotive, packaging, and electronics manufacturing where Lintra-based cylinders are already deployed. Feature: Quick-install mounting interface and standardized fasteners minimize setup time and risk of misassembly. Impact: shorter changeover windows, reduced risk from operator-induced misalignment, and faster validation of line performance. Application: maintenance windows on high-throughput lines where every minute counts. Feature: Engineering pedigree from IMI Norgren and the Lintra family ensures robust, field-proven performance. Impact: higher uptime, predictable maintenance schedules, and lower total cost of ownership over the product lifecycle. Application: automation and control systems across manufacturing environments demanding reliable centering and repeatable cylinder action.

FAQs
The QM/46032/32 V-Centre Support is designed to integrate with standard 32 mm bore Lintra cylinders. It uses the established mounting patterns and fasteners common to Lintra components, enabling straightforward retrofit on existing automation cells. Confirm your cylinder housing alignment and ensure the center-reference is positioned per the Lintra guidelines to maximize concentricity and minimize side-load on seals.
Expect improved concentricity between piston and housing, which reduces lateral seal wear and tilt-induced misalignment. This translates to longer seal life, fewer unplanned downtime events, and more consistent cycle timing. In production lines with high throughput, even small gains in repeatability lead to meaningful uptime increases and lower maintenance costs.
The QM/46032/32 V-Centre Support is designed with CE compliance in mind, ensuring suitability for European regulatory requirements when integrated into certified systems. IP-rated suitability depends on the enclosure and complete system configuration; use this accessory within properly protected environments and follow enclosure standards to maintain overall IP protection for the actuator assembly.
The part is engineered for seamless compatibility with Lintra 32 mm cylinders, simplifying procurement and maintenance. It retrofits to Lintra-based platforms without major control logic changes, reducing downtime during upgrades. This makes it an efficient choice for upgrading aging lines or standardizing centering across multiple cells in automotive, packaging, or electronics manufacturing.
By improving alignment and reducing wear, the center support lowers maintenance frequency and extends service intervals for surrounding seals and guides. The resulting uptime gains and predictable maintenance schedules translate into lower total cost of ownership and faster payback on automation investments. In high-volume lines, the cumulative productivity benefits are especially pronounced.
