FAQs
QM/8020/61/500 is designed to slot directly with Norgren RM/8000M actuators, sharing mounting standards and bore geometry. The 20 mm bore and 500 mm stroke deliver predictable guide performance, while straightforward clamping and alignment minimize commissioning time. Verify compatible end fittings and gaskets, and plan cable and tubing routes to avoid interference and vibration.
Key specs are a 20 mm bore and 500 mm stroke, paired with precise linear guidance for repeatable positioning. The guide block uses tight tolerances and robust surfaces to reduce play, lowering dynamic runout and wear. In typical automation lines, this improves cycle life, reduces rework, and enables sustained throughput over long production runs.
Yes. The 20 mm bore and 500 mm stroke support compact, high-precision guidance needed in packaging equipment and robotic fixtures. Its compatibility with RM/8000M simplifies retrofits on existing lines, while the durable construction withstands high-cycle operation. This makes it a solid choice for pick-and-place and handling tasks in modern manufacturing.
Industrial guide blocks in this class commonly align with CE requirements and IP-rated enclosures for hostile environments. For safety-critical applications, look for SIL-rated variants or safety-integrated solutions from the supplier. Always confirm with your supplier or distributor the exact certifications for the specific lot and configuration you intend to use.
Maintenance is typically minimal, focusing on routine inspection of mounting hardware and seals, with periodic lubrication per system standards. The robust machining and wear-resistant surfaces reduce downtime and replacement frequency, delivering lower maintenance costs and a favorable return on investment through higher uptime and consistent production throughput.
