FAQs
The QM/55232/24 uses a rear hinge mounting arrangement designed for space-limited frames. To install, align the cylinder with the existing mounting bracket or frame and secure using compatible fastening hardware suitable for a 32 mm bore actuator. Ensure the mounting surface offers adequate rigidity to minimize misalignment and verify end-effectors are compatible with the 59.5 mm length chassis. Always follow OEM guidelines for safe operation.
Key specs include a 32 mm bore, dimensions of 59.5 mm length, 40 mm width, 47 mm height, and a mass of 0.146 kg. This combination yields predictable stroke and force output suitable for light-to-medium duty tasks. In high-speed lines, the lightweight cylinder reduces inertial load, enabling faster actuation and shorter dwell times without compromising repeatability.
Yes. The 32 mm bore and compact footprint support dense layouts typical of packaging and small-assembly cells. Rear hinge mounting provides flexibility when access is restricted, allowing straightforward integration with tight feeders and pick-and-place modules. For best results, pair with compatible end-effectors and control valves sized for the short-stroke, repeatable actuation this cylinder delivers.
Look for CE compliance for European safety standards and confirm any environment-specific IP protection options available with your configuration. Verify that the mounting hardware and safety interlocks align with your machine’s risk assessment. If SIL-rated control is required, ensure the complete system meets your safety integrity level through proper integration and documentation.
Maintenance is typically straightforward for a compact pneumatic cylinder, with fewer moving parts and simpler seals reducing downtime. The rear hinge mounting aids quick field adjustments, while the light weight lowers energy use during actuation. Over the machine life, these factors contribute to higher uptime, faster changeovers, and a favorable return on investment in space-constrained automation projects.
