ELECYLINDER, IAI's simple electric linear actuator series can be operated simply by ON/OFF signal like solenoid valve. It's easy to operate for beginners of electric actuators too.
You can adjust AVD (A=Acceleration, V=Velocity, D=Deceleration) individually by input percentage. It can start/stop at high speed smoothly. Cycle-time and trouble recovery time will be reduced.
The difference in the rate of power consumption for the ELECYLINDER® and air cylinders depends on the operational frequency. The higher the operational frequency, the more effective the energy-saving becomes. Based on tests conducted by IAI, the ELECYLINDER®'s power consumption under certain conditions is 1/6 that of air cylinders.
Air cylinders cannot operate at high velocity due to the impact at stroke ends which occurs when excess velocity is applied. The ELECYLINDER® can start and stop smoothly at high velocity, reducing cycle time.
Instead of an impact mechanism, the ELECYLINDER® incorporates a ball screw and ball circulating type built-in linear guide to achieve a long service life. Based on calculation using the conditions below, the lifespan of the ELECYLINDER® is five times longer than that of air cylinders.
