Norgren QM/8012/32 Universal Piston Rod Mounting - 16 mm
Part Number: QM/8012/32
Quick Summary
QM/8012/32 Universal Piston Rod Mounting by Norgren enables precise rod alignment for compact pneumatic cylinders in automation systems. Engineers often struggle with misalignment that causes wear, sticking, and inconsistent actuation in tight spaces. In regulated environments, CE compliance and robust mechanical integrity are essential; for safety-critical setups, verify applicable CE/SIL requirements and suitable IP protection. For manufacturers and integrators, this mounting simplifies assembly, reduces downtime, and supports faster design iterations through readily available CAD files. Its compact footprint and lightweight design also help minimize inertia in high-speed lines, delivering measurable productivity gains.

This QM/8012/32 mounting uses a compact geometry—9 mm high, 41 mm long, and 18 mm wide—designed to fit tight envelopes in automated assemblies. The small footprint minimizes interference with adjacent components while maintaining robust rod support, translating to cleaner layouts and easier service access. With a 16 mm cylinder diameter compatibility, the part covers a common piston size in many OEM pneumatic systems, reducing the need for multiple mounting options and lowering stocking costs. The universal approach simplifies standardization across lines, speeding up changeovers. The mounting provides precise rod alignment to reduce lateral misalignment and side loading, increasing actuator life and repeatability in high-cycle applications. Its design accommodates easy installation with standard hardware and mounting patterns, minimizing commissioning time. At a weight of 0.02 kg, the accessory adds minimal inertial load, helping high-speed systems maintain throughput and reducing vibration transmission. CAD and datasheet downloads are readily available, enabling faster integration into CAD workflows. Germany-built quality reinforces reliability in regulated manufacturing environments and OEM assemblies, while the mounting supports smoother maintenance routines and fewer rod-end misalignments in daily operations.

FAQs
To install, align the mounting with the piston rod and the cylinder body, position the mounting so the rod remains aligned with the cylinder axis, then secure it using the appropriate mounting hardware in accordance with the machine’s design standards. Ensure there is no binding and verify concentric rotation during initial cycles to prevent wear and side-loads.
Key dimensions include a 16 mm cylinder diameter, 9 mm height, 41 mm length, and 18 mm width, with a total weight of 0.02 kg. This mounting is designed to be compatible with common 16 mm bore pneumatic cylinders and supports rapid integration into existing automation lines, reducing custom fabrication needs.
The product is described as a universal piston rod mounting intended for compact pneumatic setups and includes CAD resources for integration. For compatibility with a 12 mm bore, refer to the official datasheet or CAD models to confirm mounting interfaces and ensure proper fit before ordering.
Ideal for compact automation tasks such as pick-and-place, packaging lines, and small-scale robotics where space is limited and precise rod alignment is critical. The mounting reduces misalignment, minimizes wear, and improves repeatability, contributing to higher uptime and lower maintenance costs in high-cycle environments.
