Space-saving mini linear actuators
The overall length, width, and height of IAI's mini electric cylinders are comparable to the dimensions of pneumatic cylinders. They operate with the same controller signals - but are much more energy-efficient.
IAI's electric mini linear actuators and micro cylinders are very compact electric drives that generate linear thrust or pull movements in the smallest of spaces, e.g. for lifting, pushing, positioning, or pressing small loads. They allow precise control of position, speed, acceleration, and deceleration. This makes smooth starting and braking possible without any problems and prevents “jerking” at the end of the travel path.
Electric mini cylinders do not require continuous energy consumption, such as for compressing compressed air. This reduces energy costs, wear, and maintenance.
Electric mini linear actuators
Mini-RoboCylinders from IAI are small, electrically powered linear actuators with motors and encoders in various designs. They fit into the same installation spaces as pneumatic cylinders and also work with the same control signals. This makes the switch to compressed air-free automation quick and easy.
Micro cylinders
Microcylinders are the “mini version” of these linear drives with an extremely small cross-section of only 12 mm and short installation lengths of 52 to 72 mm. They are used when space is very limited, the stroke length is short, and relatively small forces are required, for example in small devices, handling modules, medical technology, or precision assembly.
