EC4 Series

Danaher Motion Image

The EC4 Series of Electric Cylinder systems are a robust linear motion package for heavy-duty thrust loads.  Precision-rolled ball screw types yield quiet operation, low backlash, and high accuracy with a variety of motor to screw reduction types.  Bearing and drive housings are made of durable construction material with optional environmental capabilities to meet most moisture or contaminant conditions.  Special design minimizes the need for routine maintenance.

Available Motors:

  • T32x Kollmorgen Hybrid Stepper motor (P7000 drive recommended)
  • AKM42E, 42G, 52G, 52L, 52H Kollmorgen Brushless AKM Servomotors 
  • NEMA 34, 42 custom motor mount
