Norgren QM/8012/61/250 Guide block - 12 mm bore
Part Number: QM/8012/61/250
Quick Summary
Norgren QM/8012/61/250 guide block is a precise linear guidance solution for RM/8000M actuators used in automation and control systems. Engineers often confront misalignment, wear, and maintenance challenges in long-stroke pneumatic setups. In regulated markets, CE compliance and rugged IP-rated protection are common expectations for automation components, while SIL safety levels are sometimes specified for controls. Choosing this guide block helps improve alignment accuracy, reduces wear, and extends service life, delivering lower maintenance costs and higher line uptime. In addition to a 12 mm bore and 250 mm stroke, it integrates smoothly with the RM/8000M family, supporting efficient, repeatable motion in industrial environments.

FAQs
The QM/8012/61/250 is designed for straightforward mounting on RM/8000M assemblies. Verify the 12 mm bore and 250 mm stroke, align the guide block with the actuator's mounting pattern, and fasten with recommended hardware. After mounting, perform a slow, full travel test to confirm smooth, resistance-free movement and repeatable positioning. Maintain proper gap clearance and re-check after initial cycles.
Key specifications are a 12 mm cylinder bore and a 250 mm stroke, allowing a compact yet long travel path. The block is designed for RM/8000M systems and aligns with standard mounting interfaces to simplify integration. It delivers repeatable motion with minimal deflection, ideal for applications requiring precise positioning and consistent cycle times in automated lines.
Yes, the QM/8012/61/250 is well-suited for high-cycle packaging lines where reliable, repeatable guidance reduces drift and scrap. Its 12 mm bore and 250 mm stroke support compact layouts while maintaining accurate positioning over many cycles. For best results, pair it with compatible sensors and mountings from the Norgren RM/8000M ecosystem.
Certification details are product-region dependent. Verify CE compliance, IP ratings for environmental protection, and any SIL requirements with the supplier or distributor. Request formal certification documentation for your specific shipment and confirm compatibility with your facility's safety and quality programs before deployment.
By delivering precise alignment and reducing deflection, wear is minimized and maintenance frequency decreases, translating to reduced downtime. The result is higher line uptime and lower total cost of ownership. The compact 12 mm bore and 250 mm stroke also support longer service life with consistent performance across multiple automation lines.
