Linear actuators for more efficient material handling

 


Electromechanical actuators are quick and easy to configure for various applications and are designed to work with and fit industrial servo motors.


Excellent for pick & place applications

Linear actuators are most often used for simple movements such as pulling, pushing, or lifting objects. They are ideal for applications that require safe, precise and controlled movement. One of the most common applications for this type of product is pick & place solutions.

Actuators are also well suited for sorting machines and feeding systems. For example, they can be combined with conveyor belts to sort and transport components from storage to assembly, or from assembly to packaging. They can also be used for quick format changes in applications such as labelling or for print heads that need easy adjustment for different packaging sizes.

Precise cycles and repeatability

Electromechanical actuators are generally more expensive to purchase than equivalent hydraulic or pneumatic actuators, but in the long run they are both more efficient and economical. They require little maintenance, are energy efficient and reduce the risk of downtime. Hydraulic or pneumatic systems can be sensitive to changes in the environment that affect the compressed air or hydraulic oil. Electric actuators guarantee precise cycles and repeatability.

Other advantages include the compact size, low weight and quiet operation of electromechanical cylinders.
