FAQs
The QM/8160/22 uses front/rear flange mounting, enabling straightforward integration with standard pneumatic cylinder patterns. This simplifies retrofits on existing equipment and reduces mounting time. For best results, verify pattern compatibility with your machine frame and ensure adequate space for flange fasteners and hydraulic or pneumatic lines.
The cylinder features a 160 mm bore, with dimensions including height of 20 mm, length of 280 mm, and width of 180 mm. It weighs approximately 3.1 kg. These measurements support compact installation while delivering robust actuating force for high-demand applications.
Yes, designed for reliable, repeatable actuation in automated lines, its 160 mm bore provides strong thrust with a compact form factor. The flange mounting and German engineering underpin durability and long service intervals, reducing downtime in high-cycle tasks such as assembly, material handling, and gripping.
Certification details are not specified in the data provided. Typical pneumatically actuated components used in Europe and global environments often seek CE marking and appropriate IP ratings depending on the application. Always confirm exact certifications with the supplier or datasheet before deployment in regulated facilities.
Regular inspection of seals and mounting hardware is recommended to maintain sealing integrity and actuator alignment. Use manufacturer-approved lubricants and follow OEM maintenance intervals. With a compact footprint and robust flange mounting, downtime can be minimized by scheduling preventive maintenance around stroke wear indicators and standard seal replacements.
