New Electromechanical Cylinders (EMC) combine high thrust and speed with flexibility and control for applications that traditionally use hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders. IP65 corrosion-resistant construction makes them suitable for applications in material handling, assembly and robotics, metalforming, and other industries. A precision-rolled ball-screw actuator provides high positioning accuracy and repeatability while eliminating stick-slip effects. The cylinders are available in six sizes from 32 to 100 mm, with stroke lengths to 2,000 mm and speeds to 1.6 m/sec.
