Electric cylinder alternative to pneumatic and hydraulic options
Drive technology company SEW Eurodrive has launched the complete series of the CMS electric cylinder onto the South African market.
The connection of an electric cylinder to an SEW Movidrive servo inverter results in intelligent drive systems, offering a high level of flexibility and positioning accuracy, new options in programming, power control and diagnostic functions, explains SEW Eurodrive.
Conventional solutions consisting of pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders quickly reach their system limits when it comes to performance as applications with linear movement place high demands on the travel profile. The electric cylinder can be programmed through the Movidrive to perform accurate repeatable movement with positioning accuracy of 5 mm/100 mm at various acceleration and deceleration ramps, speeds and torques.
These concepts can be applied to various production processes and provide an energy efficient drive solution with the appropriate process safety, notes the company, adding that the electric cylinder can easily be integrated with existing automation systems in the process engineering and packaging technology, materials handling, print and plastics industries, as well as wood processing and robotics.
The CMS electric cylinder is compatible with all commercial bus systems.
A 24 V brake is optional on the electric cylinder and numerous mounting positions are possible. The product offers torque rise time that is five times faster than that of pneumatic cylinders, in addition to reduced noise levels owing to controlled acceleration and deceleration ramps.
The CMS electric cylinder is available from SEW Eurodrive in speeds from 2 000 rpm to 4 500 rpm and with a maximum con- tinuous feed force of between 1 300 N and 8 000 N.
