  Improved Machine Performance in Small Thrust Applications

The newest addition to Kollmorgen family of electric cylinders is a cost effective, high performance linear positioning alternative to pneumatic and hydraulic systems. The EC1 comes in the smallest package available to date from Kollmorgen, and offers a number of useful features and benefits, including:

  • Far greater accuracy with less energy usage than air/hydraulic cylinders - along with elimination of the potentially troublesome "plumbing" associated with air/hydraulic cylinders
  • Stroke length to 250mm
  • Thrust to 150 pounds
  • Accuracy to .005 in.
  • Priced at $1,000 or less
  • Up to 44% smaller than the next-largest Kollmorgen EC product.

Additionally, EC-1 electric cylinders can be combined with a Kollmorgen AKM™ series servomotor and a servomotor drive or CT series step motor and a step motor drive for a completely matched plug-and-play linear motion solution. Full Article>>


 
  Learn How to Maximize Linear Motor System Performance

If you are designing with linear motors, don't do so without first watching our educational linear motor design videos. These videos review vital considerations for maximizing the performance of any linear motion system, including power calculations, settling time, and somewhat paradoxically, slowing down to speed up.
