Norgren QM/8160/32 UF cylinder mounting 160 mm bore
Part Number: QM/8160/32
Quick Summary
QM/8160/32 UF universal piston rod mounting enables precise alignment for pneumatic cylinders in automation and control systems. Misalignment and mounting variability often cause wobble, accelerated wear, and reduced cycle life in linear actuators. In regulated environments, CE compliance and IP-rated protection are common expectations; verify the datasheet for exact approvals and any SIL-related safety considerations that apply to your installation. With German engineering and IMI Norgren reliability, this mounting supports scalable, serviceable automation solutions while remaining compatible with a wide range of 160 mm bore cylinders. The result is improved uptime, longer service intervals, and lower maintenance costs for OEMs and end users.

Feature: Universal piston rod mounting geometry provides precise axial alignment for 160 mm bore pneumatic cylinders. Business Impact: This reduces side-loading, minimizes seal wear, and extends actuator life, translating to lower maintenance costs and fewer unexpected downtimes. Application: Ideal for automation and control systems requiring repeatable, high-accuracy cylinder motion in packaging, assembly, and material-handling lines. Feature: Compact footprint and balanced mass distribution enable installation in tight spaces and simplify retrofits on legacy equipment. Business Impact: Faster line set-ups, reduced installation time, and improved retrofit flexibility translate to shorter project durations and lower capital expenditure. Application: Retrofit projects and OEM equipment where space constraints are common in modern factories. Feature: Compatibility with IMI Norgren standard actuators; CAD and Datasheet availability support rapid engineering and error-free integration. Business Impact: Accelerates design-in, reduces part-number mismatches, and minimizes field-service errors. Application: New equipment builds and upgrades in factory automation, packaging, and material handling. Feature: Durable German engineering and robust mounting interface; supports CE-like expectations and IP-rated environments (verify exact approvals in datasheet). Business Impact: Confidence in safety, regulatory compliance, and reduced risk during audits across global deployments. Application: Use in regulated manufacturing facilities and OEM deployments across Europe and beyond. Feature: Ease of installation and field service; universal mounting simplifies alignment checks and maintenance. Business Impact: Lowers total cost of ownership by reducing alignment-related downtime and combustion of spare-parts inventory. Application: Maintenance teams and integrators performing regular calibration on pneumatic systems.

FAQs
Installation starts with verifying compatible mounting holes and aligning the piston rod with the mounting interface. Secure the mounting bracket to the cylinder flange using the factory-supplied fasteners, then tighten in a cross-pattern to the recommended torque from the datasheet. Check for smooth rod travel and verify there is no binding or side-load. Refer to the CAD drawings for orientation and clearance.
Key specs include a cylinder diameter of 160 mm, height 43 mm, length 166 mm, width 80 mm, and a mounting weight of around 3 kg. The product is of German origin with IMI Norgren branding. These dimensions support compact integration in automation layouts and facilitate accurate pre-purchase planning.
Yes. The universal piston rod mounting is designed to maintain precise alignment under repetitive motion, reducing wear and improving cycle consistency in demanding environments. It pairs well with standard 160 mm bore pneumatic cylinders used in packaging, assembly, and material-handling lines, delivering reliable performance across numerous cycles when correctly installed and maintained.
The provided data does not list specific certifications. In industrial applications, CE compliance and IP-rated protection are common expectations for mounting hardware. Always verify the exact approvals on the datasheet or with Norgren’s technical support, and check for SIL-related safety considerations if your system integrates safety-rated components.
The mounting’s precise alignment reduces misalignment-induced wear, lowers maintenance costs, and decreases downtime due to easier commissioning and faster servicing. For OEMs and maintenance teams, this translates into longer service intervals, more predictable performance, and a lower total cost of ownership in automated manufacturing environments.
