FAQs
QM/8012/34 uses a detachable trunnion mounting design that supports common compact-cylinder mounting standards. It integrates with typical 12 mm and 16 mm bore configurations, enabling quick reconfiguration on existing lines without substantial fixture changes. For best results, verify bore compatibility and ensure collar clearance fits your available envelope.
The unit is a 12 mm bore pneumatic cylinder designed for precise linear motion. Key performance considerations include bore integrity, mounting alignment, and supply pressure within the actuator’s rated range. While exact stroke and speed depend on system configuration, its compact form factor supports repeatable positioning in high-speed pick-and-place and small-part handling applications.
Yes. Its detachable mounting and 12 mm bore enable compact, repeatable actuation ideal for tight spaces in packaging and small-assembly environments. The model’s versatility supports quick line changes, easier upgrades, and compatibility with CAD resources, making it suitable for automotive sub-assembly, electronics assembly, and related automated workflows.
Key considerations include CE compliance for European markets and protective IP-rated configurations to withstand dust and moisture in industrial environments. RoHS-aligned materials help minimize hazardous substances, supporting sustainability and regulatory alignment across global manufacturing sites.
Detachable mounting and standardized bore sizes reduce maintenance complexity and spare-part variety, lowering downtime and inventory costs. Quick-change compatibility and reliable actuation contribute to higher line throughput, predictable uptime, and faster project payback, especially in automated packaging, material handling, and small-assembly lines.
