FAQs
QM/46040/21 features a C-foot mounting option that supports flexible placement across machines. The compact footprint enables easier alignment with adjacent actuators and piping, reducing assembly time and installation risk. For retrofits, verify clearance around the mounting face and confirm compatible mounting patterns with existing Norgren components to minimize disruption.
The actuator offers a 40 mm bore diameter within the Lintra series, branded IMI Norgren. It is configured for foot mounting (C-type) and is designed for compact linear actuation in automation tasks. Primary attributes include precise stroke control, reliable repeatability, and compatibility with standard Norgren accessories for straightforward system integration.
QM/46040/21 is designed for industrial automation contexts, where space constraints and constant cycling are common. While specific IP ratings and environmental protections depend on the exact variant, typical considerations include protecting against dust and moisture at the mounting interface, ensuring clean air supply, and selecting seals appropriate for the operating environment to maintain performance over time.
Key considerations include choosing the correct mounting pattern to minimize misalignment, ensuring clean, dry air supply to avoid seal wear, and leveraging the Lintra ecosystem for standard spare parts. Pre-checks should verify compatibility with existing Norgren components, correct tube and fastener torque, and straightforward cabling routing to support quick changeovers.
Expect reduced downtime due to robust Lintra design, longer service intervals thanks to durable seals, and lower total cost of ownership through standardized spare parts across the Norgren family. The compact form factor also cuts installation time and panel space, enabling higher overall line efficiency and easier scalability for expanding automation tasks.
