63 mm bore compatibility with Lintra cylinders streamlines the mounting interface, ensuring precise alignment from the start and reducing dynamic side loads. This improves repeatability on high-cycle automation tasks and supports reliable performance across packaging, pick-and-place, and clamping applications. Side mounting design simplifies installation with fewer alignment steps and compatible hardware across the Lintra family. Operators benefit from quick set-up, easier maintenance, and consistent performance even in crowded automation cells. Training time for new technicians is reduced thanks to a consistent mounting interface. It also supports modular automation architectures by matching standard hardware patterns. Standardized interfaces across IMI Norgren’s Lintra lineup enable straightforward spare parts planning and supplier convergence, reducing stocking complexity. The plate also minimizes vibration transfer between actuator and machine frame, contributing to longer component life and lower maintenance costs. In high-vibration environments, plate rigidity contributes to actuator life. This approach also supports preventative maintenance by standardizing torque and clamping methods. To address common objections, the QM/46163/36 tolerates standard mounting tolerances and can be installed without special fixtures, while its compact footprint helps in space constrained panels. For retrofit projects, it offers predictable fit with existing Norgren actuators, lowering risk during upgrades. The compact footprint also helps panel density optimization. This supports faster retrofits and reduces downtime during line upgrades. Industry insight shows that using dedicated mounting plates yields measurable throughput gains when combined with properly aligned Lintra actuators, especially in high-speed lines. Field engineers report quicker setup times when standardization is applied. With continued use, cost of ownership tends to decrease due to fewer reorder cycles. Users also appreciate consistent performance across multiple lines in a standardized manufacturing environment.

FAQs
QM/46163/36 attaches to the Lintra cylinder's side mounting interface using the standard 63 mm bore pattern. Ensure clean contact surfaces, align holes with the cylinder's mounting flange, and torque fasteners to the supplier's specification. Verify straight alignment with a caliper or straightedge before securing. This approach yields precise stroke alignment, minimizes side loads, and enhances actuator longevity in high-cycle environments.
Expect improved alignment accuracy and reduced vibration transfer between the actuator and machine frame, which translates to lower wear and fewer misfeeds in packaging and pick-and-place operations. Quick installation plus standardized interfaces reduce downtime and training requirements, while compatibility with Lintra cylinders supports consistent repeatable performance across multiple lines.
The QM/46163/36 plate is designed to meet common industrial standards and work within typical Lintra system configurations. Always verify CE conformity and IP ratings from the current datasheet for your exact installation, as these certifications depend on the overall assembly and enclosure. When used with properly rated control hardware, the mounting plate helps maintain safety and reliability in harsh environments.
