Miniature sizes and even smaller models
Small EleCylinders are available as rod types, slider types or compact slider type actuators, some in tiny designs. They are particularly suitable for transporting or pressing workpieces in confined spaces. Even if they are installed behind covers.
Despite their minimal dimensions, all mini EleCylinders feature a built-in motor, encoder, controller and linear guide. As a replacement for pneumatic systems, they can move to 2 or, with the ‘3-position option’, a maximum of 3 positions.
The speeds can be set to any value, from low to high speed operation. The service life is approximately 5 million cycles.
More stroke, speed and power
The existing Mini-EleCylinder series has been expanded with new small rod types and compact slider type actuators featuring longer strokes, higher speeds and higher maximum payloads of up to 20 kg.
The handheld programming device "Touch Panel TB-03" can communicate wirelessly with EleCylinder actuators within a radius of 5 m via Blootooth. This enables status feedback, position and speed input, test runs and much more.
Even actuators that are already firmly installed behind covers and invisible from the outside can be reprogrammed quickly and easily. More information under: ➥ Controllers
The complete EleCylinder series is optionally available with the “3-position mode specification”. This means that stops are not only possible at the set start and end positions, but also in between.
In certain applications, the cycle time can be shortened by stopping at intermediate positions.

Built-in motor, encoder & controller
Despite their small size, mini EleCylinder actuators also have a built-in motor, encoder and controller.
In addition, all EleCylinders are also available with a battery-free absolute encoder. Without a battery, no maintenance is required and reference point movements are not necessary after commissioning, emergency stop or faults. This increases the operating time and reduces production costs.
