Features and Benefits of Electric Actuators
Types of Electric Actuators
Rodded
Rodless
Precision single linear axis units offer unique flexibility, due to their modular construction from the highest quality profile, guide, drive, and accessory building blocks. Each linear axis can be individually configured and modified, and 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. Linear axis with tooth belt drives can be found in every industry and in a variety of applications. No matter how often and how far you want to move your workpieces, belt-driven linear units are ideal for fast handling and positioning tasks. The linear axis is driven by a steel-reinforced tooth belt, moving lightweight or heavy loads from point A to B within the desired cycle time. Characterized by high speeds, these actuators deliver impressive results, even over long travel distances. Linear axis with spindle drives can generate high feed forces and offer extremely precise positioning accuracy and repeatability, making them a popular standard in processing, dosing, and positioning applications. Our spindle drives are characterized by excellent accuracy, guaranteed even under harsh operating conditions and with long operating times. For positioning the carriage, you can choose between a sliding guide, roller guide, or rail guide.
Why Choose Our Electric Actuators
Complexity
Electric automation, with all its related componentry and programming, can be a complex undertaking. We can help you assess the specific variables involved in your process and determine if electric actuators are the most appropriate actuation solution. With our full line of electric actuators and pneumatic alternatives, we can reduce the complexity and deliver your expected results, whether it’s speed, power, precision and accuracy, or some combination thereof.
Flexibility
One of the primary benefits of electric actuators is the flexibility in their positioning and design. Due to the programming and controls nature of these products, the product specifications can offer some range of flexibility that is application- and user-dependent.
Reliability
In electric actuation, reliability is of the highest importance, particularly in the most challenging of processes or demanding of conditions. With our portfolio of global manufacturing partners, we can best ensure that your reliability needs are met.
Efficiency and Productivity
Typically, an electric actuator investment requires a higher upfront investment than other fluid power solutions. Thus, we understand and are passionate about making sure that you achieve your planned efficiency and productivity targets. We will be your partner in improving processes, productivity, and reducing operating costs.
