Linear Motors – Programmable Electric Cylinder with Precise Force by SMAC Moving Coil Actuators

Electric Cylinders

The CA range of electric cylinders have been designed with the most demanding of automation tasks in mind and are the first real linear motors to challenge pneumatic devices. They offer long life and much more precise and repeatable force control and positioning than conventional pneumatic devices. Linear motors are servo systems hence they can be programmed to accelerate/decelerate smoothly and quickly so there is no mechanical slamming. Cost savings in a completely electric solution no compressed air generation required. Electric cylinders also help in bring down the overall shop noise level. The conventional shape and multiple mounting points allow the electric cylinders to be directly retrofitted in most cases.
