Electric actuators in industrial automation

Thanks to the high-performance ballscrew, our electric actuators are a powerful alternative to conventional pneumatic and hydraulic drives, even under high loads.

With retrofittable slide guides and a wide range of screw mounting, centring and combination options, the electromechanical cylinders are ideal for variable applications in industrial environments.

An electric actuator can perform automated pick&place tasks, for example. For accurate positioning of components from a conveyor belt to a test station, the system waits in its home position for a signal from the sensor that detects a component on the conveyor belt. The cylinder moves downwards, a gripper mounted on it closes and picks up the component. The cylinder then moves upwards, travels to the test station and deposits the component there. The cylinder returns to its home position. The cycle begins again.

Low maintenance, energy-efficient and fully electric – our electric actuators enable a wide range of applications in industrial environments.
