FAQs
To install QM/8020/38, verify the cylinder diameter and ensure correct orientation of the swivel mounting to align with the rod extension. Secure with appropriate hardware, reference the CAD model, and torque bolts per the datasheet guidelines. This mounting is designed for straightforward integration with 20 mm bore actuators and Norgren-compatible components, minimizing misalignment risks during initial setup.
The mounting features a 20 mm cylinder diameter, height of 20 mm, length of 55 mm, and width of 17 mm, with a weight of 0.05 kg. This compact profile enables installation in constrained spaces, reduces envelope, and helps maintain clean routing of cables and air lines in dense automation cells.
Yes. The swivel mounting accommodates angular misalignment, improving actuation smoothness and repeatability in high-speed pick-and-place and packaging lines. Its lightweight build minimizes inertial loads, supporting faster cycle times while maintaining stable rod guidance and reduced wear on guides and seals.
While the data indicates German origin and aligns with Norgren’s quality standards, confirm site-specific compliance requirements such as CE conformity, IP protection, and SIL considerations with your systems integrator. Always verify that the selected configuration meets project safety and regulatory demands before deployment.
The swivel design reduces rod binding and misalignment-induced wear, which translates to smoother actuation and longer service intervals. Compatibility with CAD resources accelerates replacement planning and BOM accuracy, lowering downtime during maintenance and delivering measurable total cost of ownership benefits over the automation asset lifecycle.
