Are you also struggling with these problems?
Lack of precision in motion control
In applications where high precision and accurate control are required, many mechanical systems don't provide the necessary accuracy, leading to errors and inaccurate results.
Limited options in tight spaces
In environments where space for drive systems is very narrow, it's difficult to integrate conventional drive systems, as they're often too large or not suitable for tight spaces.
High operating costs due to inefficient drive systems
In systems that require continuous operation, the operating costs are significant due to the high energy consumption and maintenance costs of mechanical drive systems.
How to solve these problems with the Electric Cylinder
High accuracy in motion
The electric cylinder EZ offers high precision in motion control. It provides fine and accurate control, making it ideal for applications where exact movements and precise positioning are required.
Ideal solution for narrow spaces
The electric cylinder EZ in coaxial design is specifically engineered for extremely narrow spaces. Its compact construction allows for easy integration into tight spaces without compromising performance.
Energy-efficient and cost-saving
The electric cylinder EZ is energy-efficient and can reduce operating costs. Its electric drive system lowers energy consumption and minimizes maintenance costs compared to hydraulic or pneumatic systems.
Electric Cylinders in Coaxial Version
In the coaxial version, the motor, planetary gearbox, and other attachment elements are aligned along the axis of the spindle. This configuration is excellent when space constraints allow only a narrow geometry. Swivel angles, swivel pins, or joint eyes then allow for variable installation and an optimal determination of the swivel movement.
You can choose from three different sizes, which represent load capacities ranging from 3,000 N to 40,000 N. The integration of various safety-related options such as brakes, rotary encoders, potentiometers, or limit switches enables quick and easy installation into your system.
Electric Cylinder in Parallel Version
The parallel version describes the mounting of the drive motor to the spindle axis - namely parallel to this axis. Power transmission is carried out via a deflection gearbox.
Use this variant when there's hardly any space available in the axial direction. Even when control options are added, it doesn't increase the overall length in this case.

Unbeatable Advantages of an Electric Cylinder by GROB
Low installation effort
Ready-to-install solution reduces assembly time, saves your working hours, and lowers operating costs.
Saves complex system design
As a compact fully integrated lifting unit, the lifting cylinder provides secure position measurement systems, which then don't need to be planned for separately in the system.
Adjusts continuously and independently of force
Encoders and potentiometers continuously provide the current lift position. This allows for easily programming precise intermediate positions, regardless of load fluctuations.

FAQs about Electric Cylinders
What's an electric cylinder?
An electric cylinder is an electromechanical actuator that operates linearly and is powered by electrical energy to generate motion.
What an Electric Cylinder is and where it is used - GROB chevron_rightHow does an electric cylinder work?
An electric cylinder converts electrical energy into linear motion. This is achieved through a motor driving a spindle, which in turn moves a load.
What are the advantages of an electric cylinder compared to other actuators?
Electric cylinders offer precise positioning, easy control, high efficiency, low maintenance requirements, and a wide range of applications.
What are typical features of a high-quality electric cylinder?
Features include high load capacity, precise positioning, robust construction, efficient energy conversion, and a variety of configuration options.
What applications are suitable for electric cylinders?
Electric cylinders are used in various industries, from industrial automation systems to medical and laboratory equipment, as well as in furniture and vehicles.
