Electric Actuators

Features and Benefits of Electric Actuators

EFP offers an extensive range of electric actuators that encompasses light duty to heavy duty across multiple applications. The rod and rodless versions of high-performance electric actuators can be used in place of pneumatic actuators in applications where infinite adjustability and high force output are required. Complex linear and multi-axis systems are essential in today’s industrial world and are becoming more and more common in new machine construction. Custom-designed to solve your specific application challenges, the guide and drive combinations and configurations are limitless, including H, XY, XZ & XYZ. EFP can provide a comprehensive application assessment and technical support, from design to delivery.

Types of Electric Actuators

Rodded

Accurate and repeatable, rodded electric actuators offer long life and ease of installation. With optional IP65 protection for both axial- and parallel-mounted motors, there is a rodded solution for almost all application environments. A range of ISO standard rod-style, ball screw electromechanical linear cylinders is available with or without servo motors, in six bore sizes, with two motor mounting options. These units feature 32, 40, 50, 63, 80, 100 mm bore sizes, 100 mm–1500 mm strokes, up to 30.4kN of force, speed up to a maximum of 1.6 m/s, operating temperature range of 0ºC to 80ºC (32°F to 176°F) / ambient temperature motor 0ºC to 40ºC (32°F to 104°F) and a protection Class of IP40 or IP65.

Linear Axis

Precision single linear axis units offer unique flexibility due to their modular construction from high quality profile, guide, drive, and accessory building blocks. Drive options include belt, screw, and rack and pinion drives with nearly unlimited profile, guide, and length configurations to best suit your unique application. In addition to our standard units, we offer stainless steel and reinforced components, suitable for applications in explosion protection (ATEX), food processing, and clean room areas.

Multi Axis

Multi axis and gantry systems are custom designed to solve specific application challenges. We offer nearly unlimited guide and drive combination possibilities and various configurations including H, XY, XZ & XYZ. To ensure we meet your exact specifications, our experienced technical team provides comprehensive application assessment, advice, and technical support from design to delivery.
