Are you also struggling with these problems?

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Unbeatable Advantages of an Electric Cylinder by GROB

Check icon

Low installation effort

Ready-to-install solution reduces assembly time, saves your working hours, and lowers operating costs.

Check icon

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.

Check icon

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

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_right

An Electric Cylinder converts electrical energy into linear motion. This is achieved through a motor driving a spindle, which in turn moves a load.

Electric Cylinders offer precise positioning, easy control, high efficiency, low maintenance requirements, and a wide range of applications.

Features include high load capacity, precise positioning, robust construction, efficient energy conversion, and a variety of configuration options.

Electric Cylinders are used in various industries, from industrial automation systems to medical and laboratory equipment, as well as in furniture and vehicles.
