Norgren QM/55232/21 Cylinder - C Foot Mounting, 32 mm bore
Part Number: QM/55232/21
Quick Summary
QM/55232/21 cylinder provides precise linear actuation for automated packaging and assembly lines. Engineers often struggle with mounting accuracy and compatibility across devices, leading to misalignment and downtime. Typical industry standards include CE conformity and robust IP-rated configurations, with SIL suitability in safety-focused installations where applicable. The model’s foot mounting and compact form speed up installation, while standardized fittings simplify maintenance and spare parts planning. This translates into reduced changeover times, improved repeatability, and lower total cost of ownership across automation and control systems.

FAQs
QM/55232/21 uses a foot mounting configuration for straightforward installation on compact automation cells. Align the cylinder with downstream actuators, then secure with the mounting holes specified for C‑type mounting. Connect standard pneumatic fittings and tubing, verify seals, and perform a light cycle test to confirm alignment and quiet operation before full production.
For high-cycle applications, the 32 mm bore provides a good balance of force and speed, while the foot mounting helps quick replacement in line setups. Expect consistent stroke performance with clean air supply and properly sized fittings; routine lubrication, seal inspection, and minimal back pressure will extend life and reduce unplanned downtime.
In packaging and assembly environments, this Norgren cylinder excels at push/pull actuation, clamping, and position control on tight lines. Its compact 32 mm bore fits narrow spaces, while the foot mounting simplifies retrofits alongside existing Norgren or third‑party actuators. Ensure compatible compressed air quality and verify travel end stops for repeatability.
Certifications for this cylinder depend on configuration; the product data references the brand and standard industry practices. Expect CE conformity and typical IP-rated variants for industrial environments, with SIL suitability in safety-focused installations where applicable. Always confirm the exact configuration with the supplier for your regulatory needs.
From a maintenance and ROI perspective, standard spare parts, common seal kits, and modular mounting help reduce downtime. The 32 mm bore delivers consistent actuation while minimizing air consumption per cycle, lowering operating costs. Coupled with rapid installation and compatibility with existing control systems, the QM/55232/21 supports measurable productivity gains over its lifecycle.
