Norgren QM/8020/24 Pneumatic Cylinder - Rear Hinge Mounting
Part Number: QM/8020/24
Quick Summary
The Norgren QM/8020/24 pneumatic cylinder delivers precise linear actuation for compact automation applications. Engineers often struggle with limited space, mounting options, and reliable performance in tight installations. This family aligns with CE-compliant practices and German-engineered durability, with IP-rated options in the QM lineup and SIL variants on compatible configurations. Its compact 25 mm bore and rear hinge mounting support accurate positioning in confined spaces, while the small footprint helps speed assembly and reduce mechanical complexity. Combined with CAD resources and datasheets, this cylinder accelerates design-in and reduces supplier risk for automation projects.

Feature → Business Impact → Application: The 25 mm bore provides reliable actuation force in compact spaces, delivering repeatable strokes across routine automation tasks. This size balances power and speed, making the QM/8020/24 ideal for small grippers, light fixtures, and short-stroke actuations where oversized cylinders would hamper cycle times. Operators appreciate the predictable response under intermittent loads, which reduces commissioning adjustments and supports tighter process control in high-mix environments. Application: precision small-assembly lines and packaging equipment. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Rear hinge mounting simplifies on-site installation in crowded control panels and machine frames. The mounting approach reduces misalignment risk during retrofits, lowers the number of fasteners, and speeds up initial setup and changeovers. This translates to less downtime, easier preventive maintenance, and more consistent performance in applications such as packaging lines and automated assembly tasks where vertical clearance is limited. Application: retrofit projects and panel-mounted configurations. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Compact footprint saves valuable space: 27 mm height, 20.5 mm length, and 35 mm width create a slender actuator that fits into narrow enclosures. At 0.04 kg, the device minimizes inertial load, enabling faster response with lower energy consumption during high-speed cycling. The small size also simplifies cable routing and reduces mounting hardware, accelerating installation in existing frames or modular automation cabinets. Application: space-constrained control cabinets and robotic cells. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Germany-origin manufacturing signals rigorous quality control and consistent supply, with compatibility across the QM series and common mounting patterns. Designers can leverage standard seals and interchangeable accessories to simplify maintenance and spares provisioning. Application: long-term reliability in industrial environments. Feature → Business Impact → Application: CAD models and datasheets speed design-in, reduce validation time, and improve traceability across projects. Engineers can compare fit, clearances, and end-of-stroke behavior before committing to production.

FAQs
To install the QM/8020/24 with rear hinge mounting, align the cylinder with the mounting plate, secure the rear hinge via the predrilled holes, and connect the air lines to the appropriate ports. Ensure the stroke aligns with the actuated component and verify clearance around the hinge. Use the CAD model as a reference during layout to prevent interference with nearby components.
Key specifications include a 25 mm cylinder bore, 27 mm height, 20.5 mm length, 35 mm width, and a mass of 0.04 kg. The unit is German-manufactured under IMI Norgren and is designed for compact automation tasks requiring dependable, repeatable actuation in tight spaces.
Yes. The 25 mm bore provides sufficient actuation force for light gripping, positioning, and clamping tasks in small automation cells. Its rear hinge mounting and compact footprint minimize enclosure requirements and simplify integration with existing pick-and-place fixtures, reducing cycle times and improving throughput in high-mix environments.
The QM/8020/24 is designed to meet standard industry expectations, with CE conformity and IP-rated variants available depending on configuration. For precise certification details, consult the official datasheet and the part-specific documentation to confirm the exact requirements for your region and application.
CAD models and the datasheet enable accurate fit checks, collision avoidance, and end-of-stroke analysis before procurement, reducing redesign and field changes. This accelerates design-in, lowers risk, supports standardization across fleets, and minimizes maintenance time by providing clear specifications for seals, ports, and mounting details.
